    Currently, I'm a finance contributor at Investopedia designated to the tradings and investments team. What I do is what a bulldozer does — break down. I simplify the most complex financial jargons in tradings and investments with my writing. My articles have a flair for being so easy to understand. This is quite intentional — learning about finance wasn't a smooth one. Regularly, I needed to read explanatory articles on certain areas and the more I read, the less I understood. This was because the articles that were supposed to breakdown complex terms, used more complex terms to explain. The most complex jargons you'll ever come across, believe me are not in physics. Newton probably knew this so he decided numbers were his kind of thing. Classic literature thinks it wins the battle of complex language but as raw as Dostoevsky thoughts were, his jargons still suffer from easy understanding. Shakespeare thinks he's the beast but clearly he didn't meet finance or law before he got blind. You could see ‘hubris’ written somewhere and easily figure it's meaning. Try this with ‘amortization’ or ‘j crew trap door.’ Sorry for the laugh, but if you're not in finance or law, it's a hard one. Sometimes it even gets harder when you go to search on Google because you see complex articles that have academic structuring. This is exactly why my service is very essential. Simply, I simplify. I also am a columnist at investing.com. Where I deal specifically with Global Markets. You know very simply there's why interest rates are increased in times of inflation. These are the kind of articles I write. Stuff like why the price of Gold keeps skyrocketing always gets me putting pen into paper. Ever heard of Lawverse? That's a digital legal e-magazine and I'm an editor there. Simply, I write about Law there. I've also published a number of academic articles regarding law on academia.edu and SSRN. If you're looking out for writing services in law and finance, I'm your guy.
