Rich Meiers

Richard Meiers is a stock market veteran. Having spent more than 20 years in the investing game, he now focuses his time on keeping things simple by relying on proven, winning strategies. Rich began his career in 1991 as a broker. While toiling on the sales side of the business, Rich had the opportunity to work with one of the country's most successful small-cap mutual fund managers. In the late 1990's, Rich managed a broker-dealer in Chicago. Within 2 years, the firm had grown dramatically. Through this growth explosion, Mr. Meiers became a jack-of-all trades writing research reports, training reps, and even handling regulatory audits. At this time, Rich was also responsible for more than $50 million of client assets. Having grown tired of the rigors of the broker/dealer business, Rich then moved on to a major Wall Street research firm. Rich worked primarily with institutional clients, providing them with data and research tools used in their daily investing decisions. Three years ago, Rich was wooed away from the Wall Street game to work with one of our competitors in the internet investing business. And through knowing the right people, we were able to then convince him to join Top Stock Portfolios and apply his brand of trading for our readers. In January 2010, he decided to put his 20+ years of experience and knowledge to work for himself.; sharing his opinions, research, and analysis with readers and subscribers at iStockanalyst.com, StateoftheMarkets.com, NASDAQ.com and ETFStocks.com.
