My name’s buf akpan, and I hate talking about myself. But just have to tell you a little bit about my own background — to prove to you that I know what I’m talking about. So here goes — bear with me:

As the head of a multimillion-dollar financial research group; Penial Consulting Inc., I’ve been writing about and analyzing

the investment marketplace for more than half a dozen years. During that time, I’ve become editor-in-chief of Speakingpeace (www.speakingpeace.bravejournal.com, www.speakingpeaceonline.blogspot.com) and Dupsolutions (www.dupsolutions.us.ms ) e-letter (circulation 400,000-plus) Valuefirst (www.valuefirstzone.blogspot.com) and the publisher of Constantine Business Magazine.

You may also recognize me from regular TV appearances on many networks. I’ve also attended, covered and been invited to speak at more investment summits, conferences and conventions than I can remember. I count some of today’s “household name” financial thinkers as close friends or sources… I tell you this not to toot my own horn, but to show you that I’ve been around the micro-cap block a while. I’ve been around long enough to have seen a hundred “gurus” come and go…

Bottom line: It takes a lot to sell me on a new micro-cap picking strategy. And it’s rare that anyone can teach this old dog a new trick when it comes to lesser-known ideas. 

All i desire is to see you succeed.
