Rich Duprey

Rich Duprey

After two decades of chasing squirrels in suburbia as a police officer, Rich Duprey hung up his badge and gun to write full-time about stocks and investing. For the past 20 years, he’s been cruising the markets looking for companies to lock up as long-term portfolio holdings, while writing extensively on technology, dividends, industrial stocks, and consumer goods. He earned Bachelor of Arts degrees in literature and government from John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

Because his experience isn’t from the typical financial analyst track, Rich can break down complex topics on Wall Street into understandable and actionable ideas for the average investor. His articles have appeared on The Motley Fool, 24/7 Wall St., InvestorPlace, Yahoo! Finance, MSN, and Nasdaq.com. He also served as a contributing editor at InvestorPlace.

Rich is ranked 35 out of nearly 15,000 stock pickers on TipRanks, with over 64% of his stocks producing a profit.
