Rich Duprey

Rich Duprey

After two decades of patrolling the dark corners of 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 holdings in a portfolio while writing extensively on technology, consumer goods, and industrial stocks.

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