Michael O'Connor CFA

Hey, I’m Mike. Irish guy, currently sweating it out in the Caribbean. By day, I run a wealth management firm in the Cayman Islands. By night, I write about money, markets, and whatever else is rattling around in my head. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But I will give you my actual opinion — every time. Hope you enjoy. ☺️
