I ventured into investing in high school in 2011, especially in REITs, blue-chip stocks, and high-yield bonds, and began a fascination with the markets and the economy that has not faded despite the years. Recently, I have been combining long stock positions with covered calls and at-the-money options. I approach investing purely from a long-term fundamental point of view. At Seeking Alpha, I mostly cover REITs and financials, with occasional articles on ETFs and other stocks driven by the idea of macro trading.
