About Dave Michaels
As a financial and legal journalist at The Wall Street Journal, I cover how federal law enforcement agencies and civil regulators investigate, oversee, and interact with Wall Street and public companies. With more than 14 years of experience in business and economic journalism, I have a strong command of SEC filings, particularly how to spot red flags that should be scrutinized by investors.I also have a long background in writing about and analyzing stock exchanges and equity market structure, as well as antitrust and other white-collar enforcement issues. My work has exposed misconduct, revealed trends, and explained complex topics to a both lay and specialized audiences. I hold an MBA from Georgetown University, where I studied finance and strategy, and a master\'s degree in business and economic journalism from Columbia University. My goal is to inform, enlighten, and empower readers with sophisticated, data-driven, and independent reporting.
