Biography

E-commerce entrepreneur. Qualified accountant and former Finance Director. Investing for over 30 years. Read the Zurich Axioms in the 1980s, traded options up until the crash of 1987. Less aggressive these days but still multiplied my SIPP pension pot 10 fold since 2007.

Investment strategy

I like to combine value investing with behavioral economics. "I am not so much concerned with the return on capital as I am with the return of capital"

I think these two Benjamin Graham quotes sum up my strategy:

“A stock is not just a ticker symbol or an electronic blip; it is an ownership interest in an actual business, with an underlying value that does not depend on its share price.” ? Benjamin Graham, The Intelligent Investor

“The intelligent investor is a realist who sells to optimists and buys from pessimists.” ? Benjamin Graham, The Intelligent Investor

I want to buy solid businesses whose prices have fallen because of a crowd over-reaction to bad news that is transient or the actual impact of which is misunderstood.
