Vicki L Wille

I have a passion for stocks and building equity through lifelong investing. My strong work ethic and commitment to client satisfaction have propelled me on a 30-year journey from an entry-level sales assistant position to an award-winning broker and ultimately a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) and Owner/Principal at Randolph & Associates. Since opening my firm in 2000, I have managed financial portfolios and created wealth for many high-net-worth clients.

I have written several motivational books based on my Midwestern heritage and the steps I have taken to balance family priority, professional responsibilities, and personal fulfillment. The most recent was TAP: Think Act Prosper & Success Will Find You (How to Become a Lifelong Investor), published the Summer of 2014. It was proceeded by Four Secrets to Successful Investing, a primer than can make anyone a smarter investor.

I have two websites, RandolphAssociates.net and SuccessEnomics.com, and in 2015 launched a twice-monthly email newsletter on investing, Eye on the Stock Market. I compare my investment style to going to school: I like stocks that are young but not too young. Around "first grade" is when I like to get in ... and then try to stay until "junior high or high school" before I get out. There are factors which may make me leave earlier: corporate management changes, or the product or service goes in a direction which I do not see as beneficial in the long term. At times I lose interest because they are not moving as quickly as I think they should, and so I move on, beginning the process anew with promising young stocks. Thirty years of learning to read these signs and my excellent track record are the basis of my education that I want to share with you as you become a lifelong investor.
