Hiding Reality with Seasonal AdjustmentsA look at how changing methodologies in data series distorts comparisons. Fred RichardsFor almost 50 years, Mr. Richards has been a successful investor. He was trained as a fundamental security analyst and trader at “Forty Wall Street” during the 1960’s. His insights and observations on domestic and world economic affairs were first published in 1972 in the monthly “‘Tis Only My Opinion!” newsletter. Unusual among newsletter writers, Mr. Richards continues to run some of his personal money in public. What subscribers see is real money, in actual portfolios. His portfolio holdings and changes are usually posted daily. The KISS & SF (stay focused) methodology uses updated financial analysis and risk management techniques which originated with Mr. Richards’ pioneering work during his Wall Street career. Fred Richards is the President and CEO of Adrich Corporation which he founded in 1965. It grew from one employee and 180 sq. ft. into a diversified company with manufacturing facilities in five countries. In 1972, he founded A. R. Associates, an international consulting firm specializing in trade development between the Pacific Rim, North America, and Europe. In 1959, Mr. Richards received a BS in IE (honors) from Southern Methodist University. He received an MBA from the Harvard Business School in 1961, and joined the Harvard faculty as a Research Assistant to Professor Herbert F. Stewart in the “Management of New Enterprises” course. |
