- Fund Spotlight: Carey Smith
"The distance between Australia and Wall Street hasn't bothered Carey Smith one bit in his investment career. If anything, he's worked hard at keeping the significant divide by actively ignoring what little Wall Street noise does filter his way. While other investors train their eyes on the Wall Street Journal and tune their earns to CNBC for ideas, Carey busies himself culling through earnings reports and crunching numbers, while generating his own estimates and target prices. This discipline has made him one of the best investors here at Marketocracy, and arguably, one of the best in the world. Want to read more about Carey's successful strategy?
