Jason Jovine

Contributing Editor   The Tycoon Report

Jason began his career on Wall Street when he was only eighteen years old as an assistant for the equity and fixed income specialist at Gruntal & Co., LLC. He subsequently went on to work in senior level positions at several boutique investment firms.

He then decided to join Tycoon Publishing after leaving JPMorgan Chase in early 2006. Mr. Jovine received his BA in economics from Queens College, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude, and also holds an M.B.A. from Baruch College with an emphasis in both Finance & Marketing.

His articles focus primarily on two of his greatest passions: Economics and Geopolitics. His goal is to try to make sense out of these subjects so as to help the reader profit from them.
