About The Editor – Sunil Sharma

My investment philosophy includes a blend of fundamental and technical analysis.

Sunil SharmaI believe that the value of an asset class is based on its micro-level economic and financial fundamentals. To profit from an asset’s price movement, the investor or trader has to have at least some basic understanding of its fundamentals.

At the macro level, all assets operate in an environment that is affected by the macroeconomics and inter-market dynamics that have global and local components. To be profitable and effective in investment, one has to be aware of how economy-wide phenomena, such as unemployment, inflation, monetary policy, GDP, etc., are behaving and how different markets are interacting. The inter-market analysis involves understanding how developments in different asset classes, like equities, bonds, commodities, currencies, etc., affect the price performance of each other.

At the execution and tactical level, technical analysis of asset classes delivers good dividends. Investors and traders are human beings, and at the very basic level, they bring their personality traits and emotions, such as fear, greed, and other behaviors, to the markets. Most of these are then manifested in the price performance of the assets that they trade or invest in. These manifestations take the form of various chart patterns and repetitive price levels. Analyzing and understanding them takes less time and covers more ground than fundamental analysis. The technical analysis also improves the effectiveness of the application of fundamental analysis.

Prior to becoming a full-time investor/trader circa 2007, I was a management and IT consultant for twenty+ years.

During that time, I worked with many small and large companies in America, Europe, and Asia. My domain expertise and experience include M&A, finance & banking, strategy, and marketing, with engagements in the Financial, Automotive, Telecomm, Internet, and Consumer Products & Services industries.

I am an Electrical and Electronics Engineer with post-graduate degrees in Business Management and Mathematics. In my MBA, my areas of focus included finance and investment. My alma-maters are BITS, Pilani, India (Engineering & Mathematics), and the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA (MBA).
