Introducing Myself: Financial Analyst

Hi there all!

I figure there's a reason introduceyourself is a trending tag, might as well do one for me.

So this is what I look like. If you're thinking to yourself, "Wow, this guy looks like a douchebag banker!" it's because for many years I was. Alas, I grew tiresome of that life, so I grew a beard and moved to Asia. 12622333_10208127185360442_4068437959863125325_o.jpg

That's me with Hatchi in Shibuya crossing, Japan.

Recently I've been getting quite into Cryptocurrency, so now that I do not have a coke-fueled rage monster as a boss, I've devoted my time to managing private crypto-funds for many of my Asian clients. There is a booming market here, and realized I can't be unemployed forever.

Also, after taking a few years hiatus from banking I've re-fallen in love with finance.

I guess the purpose of this SteemIt account will be to post my analysis on different forms of investing, from Crypto, to Real-Estate, Commodities and more. Of course, I would implore any reader to do their own research before investing.

Other than that, I enjoy drinking.

And that's the about me section of my SteemIT

Welcome to Steem @realcodysimon I have sent you a tip

awesome shades! welcome to Steemit :)

ROFL dude...

Douchebag banker! :)

How are you reading my mind?

Welcome to Steemit!

Why do I feel you are retired!

Haha-I wish I was retired.
Let's go with Semi-Retired now. I still have to work, but because of the lower cost of living out here I can usually pull off a fairly passive income just from the fees I charge my crypto clients.

Haha! Semi-Retired?

You got my attention!

Now let's get real:

Any FREE advice for crypto investment?

Between Ripple / Dash / ETH...

What would be the best?

Personally I'm mostly in ETH, since I see that being the coin with the most potential. Of course, others may disagree and I'll totally respect them to do so, but my analysis shows an exponential effect with Ethereum adoption happening and once it hits a certain point it will be hard to take over.

Some others that I like in terms of just a few bucks here and there are: EXP, DGB, XEM
I don't know if these will blow up, but I'm willing to bet a little on their success.

Other than that, I like the ethereum based tokens, especially GNT and DGD. GNT for the outrageously difficult thing they are trying to accomplish, and DGD because of the team behind them.

Ripple and Dash-I'm not touching them.

Can't thank you enough for this. So I am investing little in Ripple and Synereo AMP (against everyone's advice)...

And I always thought I missed the ETH boat...

Just wondering if Litecoin is in the mix though?

EXP, DGB, XEM - shall research.

GNT and DGD - this too!

Thank you!

And two questions about ETH:

  1. Is it too late? (I know it's never too late)
  2. What is your $$$ prediction in x months?

I don't think of Litecoin as a serious coin, since it is basically a Bitcoin clone, that just hasn't gotten the traction. Which makes since because it's basically a clone lol.

To answer the questions:

  1. You already know the answer ;) As long as you plan to buy and hold I predict great growth in the future.
  2. I never like to do this, since something can always go different and then I look like a jackass, but just for fun I would say conservatively between $500-$1000 by years end. So at least a 100% gain. (Now, it can totally go to $5000...or $1, but I'm sticking with it for the long run so I don't panic over the "little" 20-30% drops it may have after a large jump up.

I plan to mostly post about investments that catch my eye so if you are unsure or just want to see more stuff, I'll try to post something new every day.

Sweet. All points noted! I am taking your suggestions seriously now.

And following you too! Thank you!

Kinda sad you are not a douche.

Nice to meet you in that Wechat group. Looking forward to more of your posts.
