Who is David Sharek
David Sharek is one of Wall Street’s premier stock portfolio managers, averaging a return of 24% a year his first five years as a portfolio manager. He believes that corporate profits (earnings) ultimately drive the prices of individual stocks and has developed a system which he believes allows him to find tomorrow’s stock market winners today.
Sharek is a graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo, with a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Administration. After graduation Sharek had his personal investments managed at several full-service brokerage firms, and grew frustrated with the poor results he received. Eager to understand what makes a stock move, he studied the stock market relentlessly, read countless books, magazines, and newspapers, and absorbed market knowledge like a sponge.
In 1999 Sharek started his career in the investment business. He accepted the position of Financial Consultant with AG Edward’s and Sons and scored in the 92th percentile on the Series 7 brokers exam. As a Financial Consultant, David offered clients an array of products such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, annuities and separately managed accounts with private money managers.
In 2000 the stock market went from one extreme (up) to the other (down). As the bear market of 2000-2002 proved to be a war instead of a battle, Sharek became increasingly frustrated with the research Wall Street provided. He felt mutual funds and money managers displayed incompetence as they rode stocks like Enron (ENE) and Worldcom (WCOM) down when it was clear and obvious to him it was time to sell.
In November 2002, David accepted the position of Vice President-Investments with Wunderlich Securities, Inc. to become a fee-based Portfolio Manager and personally oversee client assets. In December 2002 Sharek launched the Growth Stock Newsletter, a monthly review of up-and-coming growth stocks in the stock market. David won Wunderlich’s Rising Star Award in 2003 and was selected to Wunderlich’s Chairman’s Council in 2006 and 2007.
As the brokerage industry evolved to an environment where more and more investors were managing their own accounts, David realized many people were left without a trusted source they could rely on. Meanwhile, Sharek’s managed portfolios owned many good stocks the general public was unaware of. So in 2006, Sharek developed DavidSharek.com, a guide the individual investor could use to manage their own accounts, read articles on new up-and-coming companies, see the stocks David owned in his managed accounts, and download the Growth Stock Newsletter over the Internet each month.
David Sharek’s investment strategy is outlined in his autobiography The School of Hard Stocks.
