Thank you for checking out our blog! This page is meant to inform you about Ticker Sense and the people behind it all.
Ticker Sense is a blog about everything financial. Our primary focus is on U.S. stocks, but you'll see many topics ranging from the economy to commodities to psychology which all seem to interconnect in this expansive financial universe anyways.
We developed Ticker Sense in hopes of providing more and more individuals with the type of research that we produce at Birinyi Associates, a financial research and money management firm as well as the company behind this blog. We attempt to add value by dissecting data, analysis, trends and commentary and showing it all in a way that is easily understandable for our readers so they can make more informed investment decisions.
Now for a little bit about Birinyi Associates:
As stated earlier, Birinyi Associates is a financial research and money management firm. Our offices are located about 45 minutes outside of New York City in Westport, Connecticut and our website can be found at www.birinyi.com.
Laszlo Birinyi is the President of Birinyi Associates. Prior to founding the company, he joined Salomon Brothers in 1976 with a mandate to develop products and analysis that would provide market intelligence and information to the firm's clients and traders. The first of these, the Block Trading Monitor, detailed the movement of block trades and unusual accumulation and distribution that led to even more detailed information, or money flows.
In addition, he wrote the firm's first weekly market commentary, Stock Week, and topical studies on volatility, flow of funds, market structure and transaction costs. One of his efforts was The Equity Desk, a book written for Salomon Brothers' training classes that was highlighted in the book, Liar's Poker. Mr. Birinyi was later given the additional responsibility for international analysis and was the architect of the Salomon-Russell International Index.
In 1989, while a Director at Salomon Brothers, Mr. Birinyi left to form Birinyi Associates. His first consulting client was Bloomberg LP for whom he designed a variety of equity functions.
While Birinyi Associates is the primary focal point of his professional activity, Mr. Birinyi is also a regular contributor to Forbes and Bloomberg Personal Finance. In addition, he was a panelist on Wall $treet Week with Louis Rukeyser for 14 years and was inducted into the W$W Hall of Fame in 1999.
Analysts at Birinyi Associates founded and developed Ticker Sense in the fall of 2005. In May 2011 Kevin Pleines took over the management of Ticker Sense and responsible for all of its content.
