Dr. Richard Wang, PhD, CFA
Founder & CEO
WiserBull.net is founded by Dr Richard Wang, PhD, CFA who is a former accounting professor at Eastern Illinois University & Texas A&M University-Commerce, among other places. He taught both undergraduate and MBA financial accounting, managerial accounting and financial statement analysis courses with a particular interest towards investment decision-making. Dr Wang's current research interest lies on the integration of Machine Learning (ML) & AI with financial analysis.
Dr Wang founded WiserBull.net because he found that existing stock information websites do not serve individual "mon-and-pop" value investors very well. Most of them lack the depth and breadth of financial data for serious investors to conduct complete research and equity valuation.
In particular, there is very limited data out there about industry statistics, which are absolutely essential for comparisons and benchmarking during the valuation process. While some professional data providers, such as S&P's Capital-IQ and Bloomberg, do offer such data, they are prohibitively extensive, costing $10,000+ USD per year, putting them out of reach for virtually all individual investors.
Hence, Dr Wang decided to use his expertise in both accounting and data science to create WiserBull.net, bringing near professional level data analytics to the public. Better still, WiserBull is at no or very little cost to individual investors.
WiserBull is officially released for free public use in July 2023. It has seen strong adoptions by individual investors who love the simplicity of the experience and the richness of data.
In 2024 and beyond, WiserBull will bring even more advanced data analytics online, including AI-based investment analysis. Stay tuned!
