About Me

For now, I’m staying anonymous, but you can call me Karate Loner Xi. I graduated college in May of this year and have just started to work full time as an IG credit research analyst in NYC. So far that’s been a lot of fun (and stress), and I’ve realized that as I’m quite young, I ought to get serious about investing now – before I lose more time to compounding. Some investors/funds that inspire me: Cedar Creek Partners, Mangrove Partners, and Berkshire Hathaway. Obviously, this list is non-exhaustive.
