Boyle began his career in Finance working for Bank of America in Boston Massachusetts, where he began his initial research into the behavior stock prices. At Bank of America he realised that the biggest difficulty he faced was that he lacked experience. With the new availability of online market data in the public domain at the end of the 1990s, Boyle started to study markets. "I thought it might be a smart approach if I analysed as much data as possible so I could speak knowledgeably about stocks; even if I hadn’t lived through the various market periods, I could at least be a history student of the market." Boyles studies became more statistical in their nature and he enjoyed a couple of early successes, applying his theories to investment. "I realised over time that certain rules work better than others" he says. "I initially approached the markets like a man from Mars who knew nothing at all and in a way that is why I developed my own approach."
