John's Story
How did you pick investments before you used Stockopedia?
My main source of information was the FT Weekend. I used it to get an overall picture of the macroeconomic environment and then bought shares that I thought were likely to prosper.
Has using Stockopedia changed your approach to investing?
Yes - it has made me aware of many smaller shares that I would not have known about before. Initially I made successful use of the Zulu Principle screen, although since the pandemic I have paid less attention to this as I think that long-term patterns of investing have been knocked off course. It is very useful to be able to access historical financial information for the shares that I am interested in and also to make use of the StockRank system.
I find the discussion boards very useful - I value greatly the breadth of knowledge that the boards give me access to. As a retired investor who is living off the proceeds of his investments, it is very valuable to me to be able to access informed discussions on trading. I also think that the close ties between Stockopedia, PI World and Mello are a great benefit to the private investor.

Has Stockopedia impacted your investment results or quality of life?
My investment results have definitely improved since using Stockopedia – I had multibaggers before such as Berkeley Properties and Compass, but I was too willing to hold on to my non-performing shares.
