Scala Volpe Capital was founded with one purpose in mind -- help others understand the financial world.  Having worked in the financial industry, and immersed myself in the subject matter for over 8 years now, I know first hand how difficult it is to keep up with all of the various investment options, terms and jargon, and the significance of different events occurring within the global economy.  I think you'll find this site both informative and enjoyable to use.

To give you a sense of my background:
-- I previously worked at a Mass Mutual Financial Group subsidiary known as The Washington Group.
-- I previously held series 7 (stockbroker) and series 66 (financial advisor) licenses.
-- My series 7 score exceeded the national average by 12% (use the Contact Us form to request a copy of the scoresheet and I'll send it to you).
-- I've blogged on the subject of macroeconomics and finance under the title "Austrian School" since April 2008.
-- I've written extensively on the subject of black swan conjecture and protection protocols, and my seminal article on the latter is a Top 10 search result in Google (keyword: "black swan protection protocol").
-- I'm an active member of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, which advances the scholarship of liberty in the tradition of the Austrian School of Economics.
-- I'm a former member of the National Capital Area chapter of the Financial Planning Association (FPA).
