I am Liam Litong Tian, a young investor from San Diego, California, and a student at Cornell University. I have dabbled in investing over the past few years, and believe that it is a vital tool for acquiring wealth. I am deeply interested in real estate, professional services, emerging technologies, and industrial industries and wish to write about companies in those fields. I believe strongly in accountability and transparency, and am a part of the whistleblower organization Ravens for Transparency. I have used the California Public Records Act to access state and local government records that are of interest to me in order to seek out more detailed information about public spending. Also, before I made my own account on this platform, I have previously written articles for Seeking Alpha as a part of the team Touchstone Research. Articles I have worked on as a part of Touchstone Research include Marriott: Nothing Spectacular, Dream Finders Homes: Incredibly Consistent Growth, Powell Industries: Shares Have Run Their Course, and Toll Brothers: Well-Positioned For A Changing Environment. I enjoy publishing articles on Seeking Alpha since I find a lot of interest in conducting deep research into the operations and business models of a company, especially if it less well known. I also enjoy speculating, sharing my opinions, and reading other perspectives on this platform.
