Tim Brown is the first former Notre Dame Football player who, upon seeing him in person off the football field, caused me to exclaim at a volume loud enough for Tim to hear me, “Holy Crap! That’s Tim Brown!” Granted, exlaiming “Holy Crap! That’s Tim Brown!” upon seeing Rocket or Zorich would have been odd, but that doesn’t take away from the legend of Tim Brown. And now Tim’s building on his legend by helping make the every-man wealthier.
Sports fans will likely recognize me from my years with the National Football League’s Los Angeles and Oakland Raiders. I spent the bulk of my career in the silver and black after winning the Heisman trophy with Notre Dame.
However, since my retirement from the gridiron, I have been involved in a number of different ventures, including the stock market. And just like I sized up opposing defenses, I have taken to scanning public the financials of public companies and trying to spot strengths and weaknesses. Having played alongside some of the all-time greats, like Jerry Rice, I know how to spot a winner both on and off the field.
Today is my first shot at writing a column for TheStreet.com. I will be a regular, and I will try and point out stocks that I think are worth backing. I’ve had some success with my own portfolio and I am hoping to share some of my insight with you the readers in a way that is both interesting and that gives you insight into my thinking.
Tim’s first pick? Microsoft. (MSFT)
