As a financial analyst who has engaged in multimillion dollar projects with Global 500 companies, Joshua Enomoto provides an acute perspective of the investment markets. A graduate of the University of California, San Diego, his professional experience covers multiple industries, including healthcare, civil engineering, and consumer electronics. Past contributions include leading the resolution of a critical liabilities dispute between two major electronics companies, and being awarded a speaking engagement in Tokyo, Japan, regarding supply chain efficiency protocols. His diverse tenure gives Josh an inside perspective on capital markets. Not content in relying only upon Wall Street’s publicly disclosed information, he deciphers the intention behind the numbers. His pursuit of greater transparency in high finance led to the development of situational analytics, a trading system that measures probabilities of success for a given investment. The system is heavily featured in his work for premium subscribers of Future Money Trends. Over the last several years, Josh has guided thousands of people in growing their capital returns and his work has been featured and reproduced amongst several financial resources, including StockTwits, Scribd, The Stock Market Watch, Top Stock Picks, Silver Strategies, Miles Franklin, and SGT Report. Besides Fintel, he writes for InvestorPlace.com, TheStreet.com and many other financial media outlets.
Bret Kenwell has been publicly writing about and analyzing the stock market for more than 10 years. What started off as fundamental analysis of strong businesses has morphed into a rigorous process that blends both fundamental and technical analysis. While he still seeks out the strong businesses and dependable dividends he was attracted to early on, Bret has narrowed his focus to technology, automotive, and high-quality, high-growth businesses. In that effort, he seeks Future Blue Chips — which is also the name of his website and newsletter. Bret’s writing has sent him to unique places and events, like auto shows and industry conferences. Those excursions allowed him to fully grasp what Nvidia was showcasing at its GTC conferences and see some of the impressive updates on display at the automotive show. Through this he gained incredible insight into, and conviction in, what have become some of today’s best-performing stocks. It’s also allowed him to meet some very smart, very talented investors. Perhaps more than anything, their lessons, findings, and techniques have found a way into his process over the years. There are a million different ways to make money in the stock market. To find the process that works best for you is long and filled with setbacks. Bret’s hope is that part of his process can become part of yours; and together become better investors.

Chris Markoch is a freelance financial writer who brings over 25 years in sales and marketing to help find the story behind the stock. Chris starts by asking the question, “So what?” and then uses fundamental and (some) technical analysis to add depth to that insight. Stepping back from the “what” allows Chris to bring perspective that helps investors make wise decisions based on their risk tolerance and investing timeline. Markoch would describe his writing as being for investors more than traders. He looks at equities through a long-term lens and that is reflected in his writing.
