My name is Nick Menard. I am a professional engineer and i work as a project manager. I am active on the stock markets since 2006. I first decided to invest through ETFs, however as i read books on the stock markets and Corporate Finance, i began to invest directly on stocks. I invest with the intention to hold my stocks as long as possible to reduce my tax burden. I also invest based on fundamentals (Growing Revenue, Growing Net Income, Expanding Net Margins, Solid Balance Sheet). I like to compare a company's valuation against its peers (PE, PEG). I then prepare a DCF Model to evaluate the company's valuation. I like to look at the growth potential of a company in the next 5-10 years, and also have a review of risk associated with its business.less
