About Kirk Lindstrom

Kirk Lindstrom has written about and helped individuals learn to manage their investments since the early 1990's. Kirk has an engineering degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

Starting as a summer intern in 1978, Kirk worked for 20 as a scientist and engineer at Hewlett Packard's research and development department (R&D) designing solid state devices and components for optical communication. While he was at HP, Kirk invested ten to twenty percent per year of his salary. He made some mistakes early on (starting with paying high fees for "expert" advice that under performed) but soon he learned to invest his own money well enough to afford a life of "semi-retirement" to work for himself. In a way, Kirk became his own "angel investor" using his investment success to invest in a new career on the internet helping others.

An added benefit of working for himself, funded in most part by his own investments, Kirk had far more time to windsurf in the afternoons rather than attend engineering meetings.

After nine years of success as an investor and investment writer, Kirk was featured (pdf) on the front page of the Los Altos Town Crier business section, (online version.)

For over a decade, Kirk edited Investment.suite101.com , one of the first investment web sites designed to have articles and answer questions to help others. There Kirk made many new friends who still subscribe to his newsletters and communicate with him regularly on his "Investing for the Long Term" group on facebook.

Kirk took-off on his own in 2007 to create many of his own profitable websites and write for a few others including:

The Retirement Advisor We thought most investment advisers were recommending too much risk for retired people so we started this newsletter to offer more conservative recommended portfolios. Our portfolios gained 20 to 31% in their first five years while the S&P500 fell 11%!
