Some neighborhood businesses, we write about all the time while others somehow slip through our radar. Even others that are busy managing millions of stock market dollars:
Bill Fleckenstein comes straight out of ’80s investor central casting: He drives a BMW, his skin is bronzed, he keeps an elliptical machine in the foyer of his small office, and he sports a curly but well-coiffed mullet. But his office isn’t blocks from Wall Street—it’s a small storefront tucked between an appointment-only salon and a carpet retailer on Capitol Hill.
That explains the taxidermy bear we’ve seen growling out the window near Kitty Hawk when we walk down 19th Ave. What it doesn’t explain is why Fleckstein hasn’t seen fit to invest in a neighborhood blog. Bill, call us.
Bill seems like a cool guy even though he’s always bearish.
Fleck actually has his own blog (fleckensteincapital.com) but it costs $120/year to read it. On the other hand it could save you a lot of money vs. listening to Wall Street cheerleaders in the media. I have been a happy subscriber for years.
