Chicago-based analyst Daniel Holland, '08, ranked first last year in the electronic and electrical equipment sector in the Wall Street Journal's Best on the Street survey. He accomplished this with a strategy of taking a long-term view and keeping it simple, said a May 10 article in the Wall Street Journal. "Trying to break down a stock's story for investors in very simple terms is what I try to do," said Holland, who works at Morningstar Inc. He told the newspaper he likes "as little jargon as possible," because he wants investors to comprehend his case.
Keith Koeneman, '94, put his finance career on hold to research a biography on former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley.

Koeneman said Daley spent a lifetime doing things his dad would approve of, like being a good State's Attorney and building Millennium Park in Chicago. Koeneman also called the younger Daley a "master of political calculus" and "truly brilliant in terms of politics." As mayor the son focused on areas where his father was weak: race relations, public schools, and public housing, Koeneman said in the interview.

The surging commodities market "probably will stay on this path for the next five to 10 years," said Shan Saeed, '09 (AXP-8), in a May 23 article he wrote for The Express Tribune. He said large cycles typically run 15 to 20 years, such as the commodities cycle in the 1970s or stocks in the 1980s and 1990s. "Riding those bull moves is how you make money," Saeed said. "Based on this premise, the commodity bull market has another five to 10 years left, but it's overdue for correction. The recent weakness is a part of this correction."
