I cut my eye teeth with the great value investor Al Frank, and have now passed a quarter century with his namesake firm, working my way up from the proverbial mail room in 1987 to Director of Research in 1989 to Chief Portfolio Manager in 1989. I now serve as the Chief Investment Officer of Al Frank Asset Management where I lead a team that scrutinizes hundreds of stocks for money management clients, shareholders of our proprietary mutual funds and subscribers to The Prudent Speculator investment newsletter of which I am editor.
