Dr Ian Mortimer
"Events happening in energy and commodities are driving the U.S. economy and making a big difference the world over."
Massive, overwhelming quantities of data are a welcome sight to Dr. Ian Mortimer. With a background in physics and a few skills he picked up while specializing in the optical properties of new one-dimensional nanostructures-such as logical thinking, math, and data analysis - he is able to recognize patterns and meaning where others see only chaos and noise.
His passion for his subject matter helps keep him in tune with what's happening all over the world—not just in the energy market, but in all areas of global transformation. He pays strict attention to the volatility of oil prices and their constant movement as he analyzes the market. Yet for as much as he looks at the numbers when researching a potential investment opportunity, he also relies on personal interactions, analyzing a company's passion, commitment, and potential success through the attitudes and actions of their corporate management.
Trend not to be overlooked: The move to alternative energy.
