Working with an Idiotic Boss
I am a cross-functional analyst at a fairly small practice. My background is mostly geared toward being an investment/research/securities analyst. Unfortunately, the advisor is a complete idiot. He comes from an insurance salesman background and only knows the basics of investing. On multiple occasions, I have presented several positioning strategies to mitigate downside risk, convexity exposure, and investments that have yielded 20% YTD. So far he has not acted on a single idea and wants to know why the aggregate portfolio is down ~15% YTD. Not to mention the differences in analysis, on a fundamental level we are not the same. He has no idea how to operate excel, basic fundamentals metrics (EV/EBITDA), and ignores the economic data. He is the most incompetent individual I have ever met. Any good idea I have ever had, he took credit. Any poor decision he made, I was blamed. Unfortunately, I am stuck here until I am able to obtain my CFA. I would like to think it gets better, but every day is just survival. My personal portfolios are doing quite well. Any advice?

If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
