Joe Ponzio has seen the "dark side" of Wall Street. Having worked for two of the largest firms in the industry, he left the Wall Street titans in 2002 to found the Meridian Business Group, a successful portfolio management firm dedicated to performance, safety, and putting his money where his mouth is. Today, Mr. Ponzio manages individual portfolios as well as a private investment fund modeled after the early partnerships of Warren Buffett. His website FWallStreet.com is a popular value investing site and is a permanent link on CNBC.com's Warren Buffett Watch. He lives and works in Chicago, IL.
