 About Todd Sullivan (http://valueplays.blogspot.com)
Todd is a Massachusetts based value investor, that looks for companies whose current valuation is at a discount to their true value. When he purchase a stock, his typical holding period is several years, and he considers buying a stock purchasing a piece of the business. He feels that once he makes a decision to buy that eventually the market as a whole (however long it may take) will recognize the true value of the business and value it accordingly. His widely featured blog, ValuePlays, is a highly regarded investment resource that covers his successful investment strategies. |
