By combining the tenants of growth + value, GeoInvesting long biased research has produced over 50 stocks that have more than doubled and over 40 stocks that have been acquired.  Maj was also instrumental in developing a strategy to broaden GeoInvesting’s scope to perform and disseminate in-house short thesis research reports on companies across market-cap spectrums.
