Joe Bonner—yeah, the guy with the CFA thingy after his name. So he’s this Senior Analyst dude at Argus, peeking into all things Communication Services and tech stocks. Imagine being a fly on the Wall Street Journal’s wall when, in 2010, he snagged the 5th place for top-tier Telecom stock picking. But wait, there’s more! Back in ’08, Financial Times thought he was the ultimate Media stock picker in the U.S. And for fixed-line telecom? He landed second in the Journal’s fancy survey.
Before he was all analyst, he was knee-deep in the nitty-gritty at Technicolor Inc., wrestling with financial stuff and legal mumbo jumbo for over ten years. Dude’s got a brain packed with degrees: snagged an MBA from Fordham University, majoring in Finance (fancy!), and a BA in International Affairs from George Washington University. Oh, and don’t forget his three wild years with the Peace Corps in Talgar, Kazakhstan—bet he has stories from setting up an English Language resource center there!
And just so we’re clear: yeah, he’s a CFA charterholder. Whatever that entails, it sounds impressive, right?
