Last week, I did a short video on a major part of my stock picking strategy. You can watch the video on YouTube 


The link I mentioned in the video is http://vip.urbizedge.com/economy

Also, I got featured the front page of a national newspaper - National Economy. It's a business newspaper and below is the extract of the pages I was featured on.



And the text of the featured article is:

To say that Michael Olafusi is a world class financial modeler would be stating the obvious. What is not obvious yet is that within a few short years he’ll be counted among the first tier in his chosen field which cuts across, finance, data analysis and programming. Here is why:

If you have a ward or know someone young who is awaiting admission to university or polytechnic and interested in a paid internship, do notify him or her.

He/she should send a CV or profile (or even in the body of an email) to hr@urbizedge.com 

We are making a commitment to helping young people get ahead with data analysis skills. We have created a platform, www.MSExcelClub.com where we would be creating data analysis clubs in every university, polytechnic and colleges in Nigeria. We would be making it fun and rewarding to learn data analysis while creating internship and job opportunities for the members. We have gamefied it to -- cash/tangible awards to best student, awards to best school, national competitions, exposure to global competitions and points per learning/teaching activity.

And we are starting with ourselves as regards internship opportunities. From this year on, we target to intern 2 to 4 students each year. We would expose them to the data analysis space professionally and put them through our certificate courses for free. Also, they would earn a stipend to cover their transport and feeding during this internship period. The internship is planned to be a revolving 3 - 6 months one. As one intern goes, another comes to fill the vacant slot.

Again, if you have anyone who has not graduated university but has finished secondary school, let him/her apply. He/she just need to send his/her CV or profile to hr@urbizedge.com

Thanks.
