Please tell our readers something about yourself?
- I'm a chemical engineer by trade, but I've always felt like this wasn't my calling. In my professional life, I've branched into a more corporate/business development role and in my personal life, I've advised friends and family on all matters finance for years until finally starting the Everyday Finance blog.
Do you have any email id on which our readers can reach you?
- everydayfinance[at]yahoo[dot]com
Since when are you Blogging?
- Early 2007
What is your motivation behind this blog?
- There is some financial motivation of course, but primarily it serves as an outlet to share my thoughts, ideas, mistakes and opportunities I come across routinely in my research. Without the blog, nobody would have seen my research on the Biotech seasonal cycle backed up with statistical analysis for instance.
What topics do you explore in this blog?
- Primarily investing, but about 20% of it is personal finance, debt, taxes, and other non-investment topics.
What are your future-plans with this blog?
- I will likely change the template and perhaps start a new one outside of the Blogger platform eventually. I have about a 3 month queue of topics to post, so for now, focusing on the content.
What are the sites and blogs you browse often?
- Too many to list. I primarily read businessweek and rely on YahooFinance for real time stock news. Meanwhile, I listen to CNBC on satellite radio any time I'm driving (without the wife and kids!) for investment information and ideas. Bloomberg radio's great as well for a bit more technical information.
Would you please share something for people who are in debt?
- Some of the cliche advice would be to change your spending habits/lifestyle, pay down your highest interest rate cards first, and that there is hope! People do get out of debt and turn things around. Some info that isn't promoted widely is that you may want to consider borrowing through "Prosper.com", as it is highly likely that you'll end up with a lower interest rate than you're paying now. It's a great community and totally legit. I post prolifically about Prosper at Everyday Finance.
Would you like to say something to our community members?
- I would just like to say that there are tons of great sites out there; you will learn something from finance and investment sites, I guarantee it. Explore! If you visit Everyday Finance and find it to be refreshing, insightful, inspirational, whatever...please spread the word!
