Robert’s post-graduate study of investments has helped him understand real-world investing beyond what is taught in an academic setting. He is now a registered investment advisor and fee-only financial planner.  His investing beliefs center around knowing the signs of the times and what should be done about them and seeking to build wealth in both up and down markets. It is essential to understand when markets are conducive to risk taking and when risk taking should be avoided.
