In 1994, Ron relocated to the Virginia Beach, VA area. Upon moving there Ron began working with a boutique asset management and market-timing firm. In 1997, Ron made the decision to move out on his own with a unique approach to active asset management. In March 1997, he created Advantage Investing, combining his experience with technical and fundamental market analysis techniques along with some new thinking in the area of macroeconomic analysis.
