Welcome.  I hope you find something here to help you with your investment strategy.

I’m sorry about this, but before you go any further you need to read the following disclaimer:
This website is designed to assist the development of ideas with fellow investing enthusiasts.  Despite the fact I held a university chair in investment and I have taught investment ideas in the City for a few years now, and written some investment books, I am not allowed to give investment advice. This is a very sensible prohibition.  I have not undertaken the training to be a financial adviser, nor do I have the compliance systems in place or the insurance should something go wrong. It is only right that the FCA can ask that I be locked away for up to two years if I gave investment advice without authorisation.  Without this prohibition any Tom, Dick or Conman could pose as a sound investment adviser and separate you from your money. 
Any information/opinions about companies that I or other contributors discuss is given in the spirit of intellectual discourse as we each grope towards reaching some individual knowledge, some individual conclusions, on the merits of a company or investment strategy.  
Do not take anything I write as being advice.  
I will often discuss companies in which I already have a stake, but do not look at the list of shares I might have bought some time ago and think it wise to buy at this time. Also, it will frequently be the case that in writing about something for which I will not provide all the detail needed to make a buy or sell decision; I might merely look at some minor aspect of the firm’s operations, for example.  
If you ask me “what should I buy?” I can’t answer you – they’ll lock me up. Besides, I do not know your personal circumstances and whether that type of investment is right for you.  
Never follow tips blindly: do your own analysis.
You must do your own research.   
I cannot accept responsibility for any loss occasioned to any person who either acts or refrains from acting as a result of any statement on this website, at one of my seminars or in any of my books.
