Bill Laggner, Co-Founder of Bearing Asset Management Graduate of the University of FL (BS in Finance with honors). Began in the investment industry in the late 80s, initially as a stockbroker and then moved to the buy side at Fidelity Investments. I left Fidelity in late 1998 to manage my own investments. Actually cut my teeth on the short side during the tech bubble and after it had burst, we formed Bearing (Bearing Asset Management) in the early part of this decade.
