Andy Liau

Andy LiauAndy Liau grew up in California where he attended the Universities of California, Los Angeles and Irvine, receiving a BS in Computer Science from UCI. He currently works as a programmer analyst for a financial company. He follows a value-investor approach to evaluating markets. While his fundamentals are somewhat sound, he is quite the noob when it comes to technical analysis, so please excuse the 1st grade chart drawings he comes up with from time to time.
