Mark's Story

I subscribed to Stockopedia as I came into a windfall that needed to be invested/managed properly, and I made a conscious decision that I would back myself rather than go passive or pay for a discretionary service.

Definitely. It has brought structure and a greater degree of intellectual rigour to the whole process with the StockRanks, risks and styles. I take investing a whole lot more seriously now that I have a tool I can rely on for information and ideas.

Yes - after a difficult start I am getting results and improving to the point where I would consider selling my business and becoming a full-time private investor. Having Stockopedia means I enjoy investing, so I would say it has definitely improved my quality of life.

Don't expect to be good at it for a while! Don't think you're brilliant at it when you do get good results, especially if you're in a raging bull market. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Always be prepared to learn and adapt. Don't get FOMO. Know yourself and your biases...Today's successful strategy probably won't work in different conditions.
