Jim Gissy CEO and Investment Advisor Representative
Jim Gissy is the CEO of Capital Management Services, Inc., an independent Registered Investment Advisor he founded in 1986 in Manchester, Missouri.
Jim began his career over 30 years ago with Drexel Burnham Lambert, and after that, Shearson Lehman Brothers, when those international firms were in their prime. There, Jim honed his love for and passion for the financial services industry.
Jim has made a name for himself in the St. Louis and surrounding regions as a financial educator of individual investors. Shunning ‘cookie-cutter’ approaches to money management, Jim thrills to the challenge of being on the leading edge of innovation in creating wealth strategies for his clients … and all with an eye toward reducing his clients’ tax burden wherever possible.
Among the many high-level industry workshops Jim has attended over the years are the special IRA planning courses by Ed Slott, nationally renowned CPA who’s been dubbed “America’s IRA Expert” by The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the New York Times; and the Learning Institute for Financial Executives in Dayton, Ohio.
Jim, a lifelong resident of the St. Louis area, is a graduate of St. John Vianney High School and St. Louis University. Along with spending time with his wife, Karen, their five children and four grandchildren, Jim is an avid golfer, is active in St. Joseph Catholic Church in Manchester, Missouri, and has many charitable interests elsewhere in the community.
Michael Zimmerman Investment Advisor Representative
Mike joined A.G. Edwards in 1984 and became intrigued with the CAN SLIM investment/trading system in 1991 after taking a trial subscription to Investor’s Business Daily and receiving cassette recordings featuring William J. O’Neil and David Ryan. He became a disciple of Bill O’Neil and attended workshops and seminars with Bill and David.
Mike completed the CAN SLIM Master’s Program in 2006 and 2008 and has developed his own unique trading style based on his years of experience. “In Japanese, the word for constant and neverending improvement is kaizen. I’m passionate about the market, and I’m a firm believer in the principle of CANI.”
“With CAN SLIM you can have 10 people equally trained with widely disparate investment results. It’s not just what you know but how you apply it based on your ability to interpret technical chart patterns while staying in sync with the prevailing market trend. Ultimately, CAN SLIM is a trend-following approach that helps you identify the leading groups and leading stocks just as they are about to emerge or immediately after coming out of an area of consolidation.”
Mike was featured in the 2017 MarketSmith Stock Digest Spring Edition, and his expertise in the CAN SLIM investing style is a valued addition to the Capital Management Services organization.
