Value Investing
For the do-it-yourself investor!

In this website you can access my experience with stock value investing, and in particular, the strategies used for buying and selling stocks.

The information provided here may save you a lot of time (and money!) by avoiding investing pitfalls.

My experience extends from the mining boom of the late 1960's through to the present day, and includes surviving a number of stock market downturns.

This experience has enabled me to better evaluate the mass of information in the financial press and to learn from famous value investors.

So the essentials for the do-it-yourself (DIY) stock value investor are outlined for you in this website.

My goal is to make an ongoing average internal rate of return (IRR) of 12-15 per cent per annum. That is, a 12-15 per cent return over time on my total stock portfolio and a doubling of my investment about every five to six years.

You will learn in this website how to measure your portfolio performance using the internal rate of return (IRR) formula.

The Excel worksheets used to check the performance of individual stocks and the whole portfolio using the IRR formula are available FREE from this site by contacting me directly.

The five most visited articles are included here to give newer readers a bit of a peek at what's here ...

Some assumptions made about you are that …
  • you have an interest in making money to gain financial independence over time

  • you would like to find out how to accurately track the ongoing performance of your stock portfolio

  • you wish to control your own decisions about value stock investing and hence minimize costs.

And you may agree that there is one thing worse than losing money ... and that is to pay someone else to lose it for you!
