Guzzo the Contrarian is the personal finance, investment, and stock market weblog of Arizona pharmacist Michael Guzzo. I’m an amateur individual investor successfully challenging conventional wisdom in the marketplace through the use of contrarian investment strategies, independent financial analyses, and simple common sense.
Well, that’s the “official” definition.
What makes my blog different is that I’m not a financial professional, but an average, middle-class American attempting to improve my lot in life. You won’t find me trying to provide individual financial advice, trying to sell you something, or telling you that I have all the answers. What you will find here is my thoughts, my experiences, my successes and failures, and what I do.
Why do I blog?
Blogging about financial topics is in my blood. Like Mr. Earl, it’s my way of paying it forward and I thoroughly enjoy it. Taking control of my finances and investments has empowered me and made my life a little easier. I’d like to encourage and inspire others to accomplish the same on their own.
What can you expect to find here?
I usually manage my finances and investments with a contrarian point of view. As such, you should expect unconventional commentary along with frequent personal opinion and analysis concerning personal finance, investment, our economy, the financial markets, and Wall Street.
You’ll also find informative, entertaining, and often skeptical posts written about the financial industry, the stock markets, politics and our economy, without skimping my own brand of irreverent humor.
I also believe that you can’t “talk the talk” if you don’t “walk the walk”, so I’ll include all of my individual stock trades and investments transactions for everyone to evaluate. You be the judge.
You’re always welcome to join me on my quest to conquer the markets. But remember, try not to lose your perspective on what is best in life.
