Hey there Net Fools. This is Jim, the author/administrator/founder of Jimvesting Dot Com. Not to be a shameless self-promoter here, but a lot of you have wanted to see an “about” page for some time now… I feel like it’s about that time to let you know who the face behind the website is. Allow me to take some of your time this morning to put you on a more personal level with myself. This post will appear permanently as a page on the navigation bar.
The Blog In Brief
I’m an 18 year old student of Finance at Penn State University, and started blogging when I first arrived at school in October of 2007. Initially, the blog was set to be more of a resume-filler than anything else… but after seeing some solid feedback, I have decided to set my aim upwards. I currently try to post every day, and am an active recruiter of RSS subscribers. 
The Face Behind Jimvesting.com
Here is a picture taken of me with one of my two favorite stock investors (other being Warren Buffett), personal role model, and all around great guy Jim Cramer. I don’t carry a digital camera, so be thankful I finally got a picture, haha. 
Why The Stock Market?
A lot of people wonder why and how I am so interested in the stock market and making money online. First of all, I was fortunate enough to get elected into the Penn State Nittany Lion Fund LLC. manager’s board as the current Associate Analyst of the Industrials Sector of the stock market. I have been an active student since arriving at college, and have taken the opportunity to read the Wall Street Journal daily, study stock research reports, research various methods of valuing companies and make quite a few stock pitch presentations.
In this sense, I feel that I come from a very different background than most of my “make money online” colleagues. My eyes are turned to Wall Street, and whether I can land an internship at a great investment banking firm (such as Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Merril Lynch) is yet to be seen, but I will continue to study and fine-tune my skill set to be in the best position possible.
So What About Making Money Online?
On the “work at home” / “make money online” front, I have always been a bit of an entrepreneur. I actually intended to just make this a stock market blog, but I then realized that I just loved money too much to pass up the opportunity to help other people get rich. Knowing this, I have owned a web hosting and design company, and am active in several more general endeavors to turn profit through the internet. I believe that the field of making money online is cluttered with people that don’t know what they are doing. So let the stock investor show you how markets really work!
In my spare time, I run long-distance (former cross country runner), lift weights and participate in intramural sports. I am a guitarist, though intermediate and nothing to hold your breath about . Of course, I am in several student organizations as well that I think have helped developed a lot of skills and dedication in my studies.
Make no mistake about it, I’m here to make money and make you rich. You should be able to learn a lot by following along, and hopefully we can all grow in knowledge together. If you have any questions or comments, please drop me a line through the contact page. I typically respond within 1-4 hours since I check my email often.
Stay bullish on the net!

@ Jason: Hey man, let me wear a dress shirt + tie, and take a picture more than a week after I get a hair cut, haha
Wow you are doing good for so young. How the heck do you start a web design and hosting company at your age? Im assuming its a reseller account

I’ve noticed that I look a lot younger right after I’ve got a hair cut – right now I probably look a good few years below my age since I just got a hair cut on Monday.
By the way, this is a compliment – I was surprised to learn how young you are. Keep up the good work!
