Quote from Brian J. Bloch

"Journalism is an intensely satisfying and intrinsically rewarding activity. It enables me to combine my writing, financial, and other business-related skills in a creative and interdisciplinary manner. Particularly in the investment field, my own extensive experience, both positive and negative, enriches my work. I feel that I am making a very real contribution!"
