James' Story

I used to take a very unstructured approach when picking investments. I would use tips from financial publications to give me pointers and simplified financials to screen. My returns were at best mixed from this approach.

This means that I now make decisions that are far more grounded in data and with insights from fellow investors.

Stockopedia has given me a range of things; excellent data, strong charting tools, stock screens to throw up ideas, very helpful columnists and great user comments. This means that I now make decisions that are far more grounded in data and with insights from fellow investors on the companies I am looking at. I really find Stockopedia indispensable for excellent data and the StockRanks are also a strong component of my investment decisions.

My investment decisions and results have improved significantly since I started using Stockopedia and making the tools, data and comment as key to investment decisions. I feel more confident in my decisions and results beat market indexes that I track.

My advice would be to read plenty of books (Naked Trader, Art of Execution and many more), to read the Small Cap Daily Report, to use Twitter to connect to other investors and spend time getting to understand all that Stockopedia can offer, including the StockRanks portfolios and some of the Stockopedia publications.
