Nearly all sections were hit, including but not limited to memoryThis article was written byDmitri Vinokurov355 FollowersAs a young professional in the oil and gas engineering space, I seek to leverage my technical and analytical background to gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals driving not only the energy sector, but global markets as a whole. I have put extensive time learning about how to properly understand a business, market drivers, as well as micro and macro trends. As I continue analyzing the markets, I find myself picking up on new information nearly every day. This is what fascinates me about the finance industry, as even a lifetime may not be enough to become knowledgeable about everything within this space. My current investment focus is primarily centered around "Growth at a Reasonable Price" plays, diving deep into fundamentals and the numbers behind the business, and outlining the catalysts that may drive significant alpha over a medium-term horizon. I leverage options, mainly on the short side, to drive income and enter into positions that fit my risk-reward profile.
