Title: Director of Defensive Investment Strategies
Company: AlphaTack
Location: Wilton Manors, Florida, United States
Michael J. Markowski, director of defensive investment strategies at AlphaTack, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Executives for dedication, achievements, and leadership in investment services.
With nearly five decades of experience, Mr. Markowski has built a successful career in finance and investment services, specializing in asset protection and online business. He currently excels as director of defensive investment strategies at AlphaTack, a role he has held since 2016 with the support of Dynasty Wealth, a company he founded with his wife in 2014. Additionally, he has served as founder and director of research at StockDiagnostics.com since 2001. His past roles include founding Newsgrade Corporation, where he served as director from 2000 to 2014, traditional analyst at Enron Corporation from 1977 to 2001, and a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch, now Merrill, earlier in his career. In light of his impressive undertakings, he has been honored among the Top 50 Investors by Fortune Magazine and recognized as Merrill Lynch’s youngest stockbroker.
Reflecting on his path, Mr. Markowski built a solid educational foundation, earning a bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1974 and a Bachelor of Business Administration in business, management, and marketing from Florida State University in 1977. His interest in financial markets took a pivotal turn during the Enron scandal, which he witnessed firsthand as a traditional analyst from 1977 to 2001. Enron’s collapse, despite its reputation as America’s most innovative company, deeply impacted his career and drove him to develop software to detect financial irregularities. Through extensive research into Enron’s downfall, he created an algorithm capable of predicting future bankruptcies, including those of Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley. He shared his findings in Equity Magazine, discovering through historical analysis that 50 companies, including Sunbeam, a former client, had failed for similar reasons before Enron. This work established him as a leading authority in predicting public company bankruptcies.
Looking to the future, Mr. Markowski is passionate about leading the ongoing shift from the industrial to the digital economy, which he sees as a vast new landscape for opportunities. Actively involved in this transformation, he aims to empower individuals to optimize their assets, enhance their quality of life, and reduce financial stress. He attributes his success to a relentless curiosity and commitment to thorough research, particularly when investigating unique market events. In advising aspiring financial professionals, he emphasizes the importance of comprehensive training, independent practice with proper licensing, and strategies focused on attracting investors.
