A young investor with a simple approach to investing. I have been blogging my picks for awhile now on "Urbanomics" and I want to see how I match up to the rest. I screen stocks against basic principles and then I apply age old keys to investing from legendary investors such as Warren Buffet and Peter Lynch . I keep it fun, cool, and easy to understand for today's generation by including my references to the world of hip hop and popular culture. I hope we all make a little money but that we aren't to proud to give back to our communities in different ways. Stay tuned...I'm out!
