Hey,
My name is Conor, the one on the left who forgot to rip the label off his scarf. The other guy is Leandro, a friend I was able to meet while travelling in Paris, all because of this newsletter.
Who is “Conor?”
I am a 20-something who grew up in Germany & England before migrating back to my homeland of Scotland. My tertiary education focussed on economics. I have served in various roles across the fintech and start-up landscape. I am currently a product manager and head of partnerships at Koyfin, and have been writing consistently since 2020.
Sometime during my studies, I realised that I while I love economics, it wasn’t a career path for me. I had been fascinated by how money and businesses work since a young age, and this transgressed into a love affair with investing. To me, the investment landscape is a living-breathing study of human behaviour, and it’s what I am passionate about.
Once Investment Talk began building steam in 2020, I was offered a one-year grant from the Substack Pro program. Displacing my salary for 12 months allowed me to take the leap and quit my job as a data jockey at an investment reporting solutions company. I have not looked back since.
Elsewhere, I am immensely passionate about investing, cooking, and travelling.
What is Investment Talk?
This is something that took me a few years to answer for myself. Investment Talk is where I write articles about the stock market, the companies within it, and human behaviour. I focus on writing about what I find interesting, in a way that will be both enjoyable and informative to the reader. If you are looking for stock picks or advice, then this isn’t the newsletter for you. If you are looking for alpha, then let me know if you find any, because I am too.
What’s the end goal?
The goal for me is to improve the quality of my writing, the value that it brings readers, and how much they enjoy the writing that I share. As a reader, you are always welcome to reach out and say hi.
Your feedback is always welcome, and if there’s a topic that you want to hear more about, or you just want to chat about, then reach out to me on Twitter.
