Nate Parmelee
Senior Analyst, The Motley Fool Canada
Fool since April 2004
Nate currently works as a senior analyst for The Motley Fool Canada and is co-advisor on Motley Fool Fintech Fortunes.
Previously, he was a co-advisor for Motley Fool Global Gains and served as the advisor for both Share Advisor and Pro for The Motley Fool’s former U.K. business.
Nate believes owning good businesses at good prices is what matters most, so he has a tough time sticking to the style, market-cap, and geographic boundaries so commonly used in investing.
When he’s not researching companies and crunching numbers, Nate enjoys spending time with his family, going to the gym, building furniture, and watching anything Boston sports related.
Jim Gillies
Senior Analyst, The Motley Fool Canada
Fool since July 2005
Jim Gillies is a senior analyst for The Motley Fool Canada.
A dyed-in-the-wool value investor and lover of small equities, Jim also supplements his portfolio with opportunistic options strategies.
He believes that if you can’t tell a story with numbers, it’s probably not worth telling.
When not playing with financial matters, he’s honing his amateur chef skills, mashing around the country on one of his bikes, or futilely anticipating the return to glory of the Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Islanders (it’s been a long wait).
Nick Sciple
Senior Analyst, The Motley Fool Canada
Fool since June 2021
Nick is a native of Mobile, Alabama, about as far from Canada as you can get in North America.
He attended the University of Alabama, where he built on his lifetime fandom of college sports. In law school, a friend suggested he read Peter Lynch’s One Up on Wall Street. From there, he was hooked on investing, which combined the analytical skills he’d learned in law school with his lifelong love for probability-based games like poker and sports betting (but with MUCH better odds).
After discovering The Motley Fool through its podcasts, he became an editor and bureau chief at the company’s U.S. website, fool.com, covering tech, energy, and industrials. He joined The Motley Fool Canada three years later.
