I’m currently in the last year of medical school in Houston, Tx, and I invest in stocks, commodities, and currencies.
I generally use a Graham-Dodd approach to valuation of stocks, however, I do make deviations for speculative stocks when I find favorable risk/reward.
In addition, I speculate in currencies and commodities based on macro-economic analysis.
Before medical school, I was an analyst for the oil & gas industry, and I traded currencies for a French proprietary FOREX shop. I have worked on algorithms for systematic trading based on behavioral finance theories, related to applying concepts from information theory to financial markets.
