My Story

I am a recovering stock broker who has moved into the fee-only universe of investment advisors and am sharing my experience with self-directed investors via some very low cost newsletters.

Buy Low, Sell High

Too many investors identify good companies and invest only after company stock prices have run up. Investing in companies near highs only works if the high represents the bottom of a new price range. To be a successful growth investors requires identifying both past success of a company and making a reasonable analysis of future success. In other words, to be a growth investor requires understanding value.
