Larry Ramer

Larry Ramer

Larry Ramer has been a business news writer for many years, and publications have featured hundreds of his columns about stocks. He enjoys identifying huge, new trends before they become widely appreciated (Larry, for example, was very bullish on artificial intelligence in 2021) and making contrarian stock picks. Among his highly successful, early recommendations were GE, Micron, Super Micro, Grail, and American Superconductor.

He has written many articles for InvestorPlace, The Fly, and The Jerusalem Post.

Larry has earned a BA in Communication from The College of New Jersey and an MBA from Rutgers University.
