Ray's Story

I used to belong to an Investment Club but some years ago after trialling Stockopedia, I left. Subsequently the club split. Two others and I have operated as a small investment group that, until Covid, met monthly. Currently we correspond by e-mail.

Stockopedia has opened up avenues and companies that I would not have previously considered, and has supplied more comprehensive financial details. The StockReports have been invaluable in allowing me to assess potential buys and sales.

With a moderate pension and no bank interest, I have been able to secure good dividends - which at my time of life are more important than growth (although maybe the gambler in me has seen the occasional change of heart). Having recently moved home and currently adding an extension, the capital accrued has enabled me to achieve my goal financially.

We all have our favourite shares, but don’t get blinded by previous loyalty and look at each transaction purely on current merits.
