Chris Hanson, MBA’98

Chris Hanson, returned to campus last summer to research Sir Isaac Newton. Chris emails, “As an investment adviser, I’m the author of The Wicked Smart Investor blog. One of my recent posts, ‘Isaac Newton Falls Prey to Stock Market Gravity,’ details Sir Isaac’s investments in the South Sea Company, for which he bought high and sold low. If the man who invented calculus had followed a few simple decision-making principles, outlined in my blog, he would have avoided the disastrous losses he incurred.” Chris works at Oaktree Capital Partners in South Easton, Mass.
