CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Managing Director of private equity firm Lomond International, Martin Sumichrast, has launched his new blog The Sumichrast Report, so that he may provide accessible financial information to the public. The globally recognized financier has authored books, is an ongoing guest writer for Jim Cramer's TheStreet.com, and now, is authoring his own blog The Sumichrast Report.

Blog readers have the opportunity to comment on each blog entry and anyone can subscribe to receive regular updates via an RSS feed. He's also stepped into the newest echelon of technology and can be followed on Twitter.

Martin's financial and real estate background are so unique and diverse that he brings a very global perspective on issues. When the Iron Curtain finally opened, and the Czech Republic was born, Martin Sumichrast was there. In a gesture of camaraderie to the newly de-communized city of Prague, his company, USA Builders, along with Trammell Crow began construction of an all-new housing subdivision. The American fashioned and American built homes were the first of their kind, leading the United States Department of Commerce to honor the 1992 "Model Home of the Year" for Eastern Europe, to USA Builders.

Before he returned to the United States, in the decade following the end of the Cold War, Martin continued his entrepreneurial spirit by co-founding the Czech Fund. He played a key role in developing the Czech Fund into an international brokerage operation throughout 12 countries.

Currently, Martin manages the private equity firm Lomond International. Additionally, he is busy writing and publishing his newly launched blog, The Sumichrast Report. Two books he co-authored are Opportunities in Financial Careers and The New Complete Book of Home Buying. Each is available for purchase on Amazon.com, with the former available in Kindle(TM).

Martin lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with his wife and four children.
