After years of investing in poorly performing mutual funds, I decided to take control of my finances and invest in stocks directly instead of paying fund managers to under perform.
This blog contains information about my value and high yield strategies along with general thoughts on the market.
I plan to document my share trades, thoughts behind my actions and the general economy. I also hope to provide dictionary of investment jargon and some uaseful investing tools for me and my readers.
I hope you find this site usefull!
