James Brumley's Biography

While most freelance writers are simply looking for a ‘writing gig’, James Brumley does things differently. Specializing only in financial and investment content, Mr. Brumley has been able to focus on a limited number of subjects and styles, and deliver top-notch writing by doing so. The strategy has not only worked well for the writer, but also for his clients. He knows precisely what the financial community needs, and he delivers it consistently.

For James, its not just about putting a handful of key words in print and filling in some text around it - James has actually lived what he writes. He spent several years on the front lines as a broker with a major Wall Street firm. Not only did that give him knowledge of how things really work on ‘the street’, it also gave him a chance to hear what investors are actually thinking….and it’s not what Wall Street thinks it is. After that, James worked as a research analyst at a notable trading firm, and was promoted to Sr. Analyst within a few months. It was here where he was able to actually start giving real advice that was sensible, as well as profitable. And that’s when it became clear that his passion as well as his ability write effectively could be used together. James started freelance writing on a regular basis, and quickly found success in a niche that is hungry for good content.

In fact, for James, the most satisfying part of freelance writing is being able to create something that is distinctly different than the usual banter that’s found on the popular web sites and periodicals. For instance, few investors know - and the media can’t afford to say - that rising interest rates are actually a sign of strength that should keep investors in the market, rather than prompt them to bail out of it. But when the idea was backed up with facts in a recent write-up, those readers (and the customer) were thrilled to hear the other side of the case. A similar story can be told about his in-depth look at oil prices. The whole world wants oil to be cheap, and most commentators will choose to find the evidence that makes that seem likely. But James’ close-up article on the actual oil consumption trends helped some lucky investors rethink their strategies for the better.

Mr. Brumley primarily writes market commentary, but can also do educational pieces. His biggest customers are BigTrends.com, Small Cap Digest, Investopedia.com, and Bluegrass Portfolio Management. However, his articles and viewpoints have appeared in countless places. If you’re looking for content and commentary that is unique as well as meaningful, then he is the solution for you. And best of all, for NASD and SEC affiliated sites, James can write in a ‘compliance friendly’ manner.
