A Look Forward...

This is the first post of RAW (I just realized what a great acronym the title makes), and I figured it would be appropriate to explain the topics I intend to cover as well as give some background. I currently work as an independant Investement Advisor. This is a great career as it allows me to be both self-employed and work in the financial arena. Entrepreneurship is exremely important to me. I'm always analyzing potential business plans for myself and have become a goto for all of my colleagues for assistance in their seed stage ventures. I've been instrumental in the management of portfolios in excess of 25 million on both the sales side of retail business and individual/institutional client asset management.

In RAW I hope to cover a range of business topics that are relavent to the small business owner and the institutional investor alike. I'm going to tend to avoid any technical stock analysis in favor of more general observations of recent market behavior with a look at ADRs and global markets. I'll also be talking about the struggles of self-employment and establishing effective client relationships. I'm sure i'll be posting some motivational tidbits as well.

As the title does suggest though, this will be a random walk. I welcome all the readers to supply feedback as to questions and comments. I look forward to providing a glimpse into the business/financial realm as I see it.
