Ryan Messick brings an analytical and fundamentally-driven approach to value investing, prioritizing companies with a strong margin of safety and growth catalysts. He models his approach on the legendary Benjamin Graham, updating his strategies for modern times while still using the core principles Graham taught. Other influences on Ryan’s investing philosophy and strategy include Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and Joel Greenblatt.Ryan provides analysis on companies he has researched, mostly focusing on microcap and small cap value stocks, but he has no qualms about investing in larger companies when they meet his value criteria. That said, most of his articles will likely be on smaller, undercovered companies. He’s always seeking to invest for the long-term, and believes that’s a key component to getting an edge on the market.While Ryan’s focus is on value investing and growth at a reasonable price, he does analyze special situations and occasionally merger arb. Messick is a graduate of Syracuse University.
