This week's interview is with Covestor member Rita Mcquiston, aka Growthseeker. Rita is an active member of the AAII, regularly attending meetings in her home town of Portland. She has been trading for over 10 years based on IBD strategies, an approach that has seen her post an impressive 70% return since her inception on the site 6 months ago.

Rita focuses on the high growth momentum stocks recommended by IBD. She doesn't hold positions for long periods, looking for large liquid stocks that she can get out of quickly if the market turns.

In her interview Rita talks about some of the stocks she is looking at in today's market and the sectors of interest to her. She shares some of the books which have helped her to build her experience, a great set of recommendations for anyone starting out.

Rita juggles a busy work and family life with her an investing and is a great example of someone balancing active investment with everyday commitments . Right now she is short a number of tech stocks and although she doesn't have time to blog regularly is well worth following.  As always you can
find her interview on the top right hand side of her fact sheet.
