A financial commentator based out of West Palm Beach, Florida, Gregory Blotnick brings over a decade of journalistic experience and has contributed to major outlets including Forbes, Fortune, Kiplinger, MarketWatch, the CFA Institute, and many more.
Blotnick has spent his career since 2009 in the investment industry. He has held research analyst roles at prominent funds including Citadel and Schonfeld, where he specialized in the consumer and retail sector.
Blotnick is a frequent writer and long-time contributor to financial media. His commentary blends deep industry experience with a focus on cognitive and emotional decision-making, highlighting how fear, greed, overconfidence, and confirmation bias can undermine even the most seasoned professionals.
In 2025, Blotnick released his debut memoir, Blind Spots: A Riches to Rags Story, a candid and introspective look at how ego, unchecked ambition, and psychological blind spots can derail even a high-performing career. The book has been praised by Kirkus Reviews, The US Review of Books, and Manhattan Book Review for its raw honesty and thought-provoking reflections. Unlike traditional Wall Street memoirs that glorify success, Blind Spots explores failure and what it reveals about character, decision-making, and identity. He is also the author of "Essays: De Rerum Natura," a collection of thirty philosophical essays.
Blotnick remains active as a writer, speaker, and consultant. He continues to publish essays on investing, behavioral finance, and ethics. His current work explores topics such as the illusion of control in markets, the psychology of turnarounds, how social status and identity bias influence investment decisions, and the role of mental health in high-stress professions. He frequently engages with journalists, editors, and content platforms seeking commentary on markets, fund strategy, and personal finance.
