INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
Owens employs his ORIE background to develop a "calculated contrarian" approach to the markets.
He utilizes a "second-level thinking" approach to identify and buy income-paying stocks when their yields are highest and downside is limited – thanks to market overreactions.
He co-founded two successful high-growth software companies, Chrometa, maker of the world’s most advanced timekeeping software, and LeadDyno, an online marketing tool for small businesses.
He employs his investment philosophy in his premium services: Contrarian Income Report, Hidden Yields, and Dividend Swing Trader.
MEDIA & PUBLICATIONS
Owens and his companies have been featured in leading publications such as The Economist, Inc. Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, Entrepreneur Magazine, and The Globe and Mail.
