I'm Troy, and I enjoy doing equity research on publicly traded companies. As a business journalist at The Spokesman-Review, I used the same analysis that drives my valuations to explain a live utility rate case to a newspaper's readers.
Slackline is my independent equity research publication: two real-money portfolios, growth and value, are benchmarked and run on formal Investment Policy Statements modeled on the CFA Institute framework. My positions are backed by a full written thesis, valuation work, and a writing structure and style that strives to match the quality of professional equity research.







Slackline Capital is a personal research project, not a registered investment adviser. Holdings, performance, and written theses are published for transparency and self-accountability. Nothing here is investment advice or a solicitation. Returns are time-weighted, net of modeled costs, since inception May 1, 2026.
