Historic Wall Street Firm Reopens under Heir's Leadership

Finkle & Co., a succesful Wall Street firm in the 1960's and 70's, is reopening under the leadership of the founder's grandaughter. Elizabeth (Liz) H. Finkle leads the revamped equity research and trading firm, designed to answer the needs of 21st century investor. With the motto of "Covering the Future Now", Finkle will focus on small to mid cap companies in emerging sectors that are receiving little to no currrent coverage.

(PRWEB) January 17, 2004 --Finkle & Co., LLC has announced that it is fully operational as of Monday, January, 12 operating from their offices at 230 Park Avenue.

Finkle & Co. is an independent equity research and trading firm, providing institutional and private investors exceptional quality, proprietary global research covering companies with a market cap of $5 billion or under.

Under the leadership of Elizabeth (Liz) H. Finkle (39), Finkle & Co. intends to answer the needs of 21st century investors, with the prestige of her grandfathers former firm with the same name. The previous Finkle & Co., led by the late David Finkle, was a successful and prominent Wall Street firm throughout the 1960s and 70s.

Liz does not lack the experience necessary to take charge of her familys namesake. After graduating from Columbia and a brief foray into acting, Liz began a 21 year history of institutional sales covering virtually every major institution on the west coast, Pacific Northwest, Denver and New York in both equities (Ladenburg Thalmann, Brean Murray) and Fixed Income (Muriel Siebert). Fittingly, during summers in high school, Liz worked for her grandfather at the original Finkle & Co.

Finkle & Co. will focus on small to mid-cap companies in emerging sectors that are not receiving sufficient coverage from large firm research departments. They will also cover larger cap companies if legitimate contrarian recommendations exist. Finally, Finkle will provide specialized coverage of developing companies in China.

The following sectors will receive ongoing coverage:

•   Energy
•   Surface transportation
•   Specialty retail
•   Biotechnology
•   Media
•   Leisure
•   Telecommunications
•   Software

Additionally the firm employs a fulltime technical analyst.

President Liz Finkle sees current market conditions as ideal for relaunching her grandfathers firm. According to her, There are significant coverage voids among select small to mid cap companies that represent potential major players in the not too distant future. We provide unique value to institutional investors through initiating proprietary coverage of these companies while they are still in a developmental stage."
