adminI have been investing in the stock market since I was 17 years old, and over the 25+ years since I have learned the joy of compounding, the value of dividend reinvesting, and the principle that patient investing through good times and bad brings the greatest rewards. I believe the key to creating wealth is the slow accumulation of high quality assets, and the key to enjoying the process of investing is to mix this steady approach with some high risk/high reward opportunities, underappreciated turnaround plays, and transformative technologies. I invest with integrity, only putting my money into companies and industries that aim to make the world a better place.I would consider myself an amateur investor, entirely self-taught with no formal education in investing or business, but smart at figuring out who is worth listening to. I read widely and embrace the notion that my own growth comes from learning from others. In my other life, I teach at the college/university level. I have a PhD from Brunel University and am an accomplished academic writer and editor.
