Yes, it is now much easier to arrive at a decision. Any potential investment decision can be made in 2 minutes after reference to Stockopedia.

Yes, definitely. It inspires greater confidence in the decisions I am able to make.

1. Subscribe to Stockopedia
2. Use it to create a Watchlist of at least 20 companies, and do not spend a pound until your watchlist is out performing the FTSE All Share index consistently.
3. Choose a well-established broker for your trading platform. Avoid the cheapest.
4. Cut your losses and run your winners. If possible, buy stocks with a Stockopedia StockRanks of over 90 - at least until confidence as an investor becomes established.
5. Keep away from highly geared companies. If a company can’t manage its own monies it’s certainly not having any of mine. Keep away from pension deficits.
6. Make your own rules and stick to them.
