Here are the five most popular articles with our readers in 2010, our first full year of blogging:
Morningstar Ratings Update

About Me
I developed an interest in personal investing through giving financial advice to friends and family while working on Wall Street. After seeing first-hand how so many personal investment strategies were based on misinformation and conflicted advice, it became my goal to create an investment advisory firm without the conflicts of interest that are ever-present in the industry. Thus, the birth of Mariposa Capital Management as a trustworthy, independent advisor.
Prior to the founding of Mariposa Capital Management, I spent several years as a portfolio manager with Merrill Lynch in New York.
