In this website I provide my experience with stock value investing, and in particular, the strategies I use for buying and selling stocks.

The information I provide 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. During this time, my stock investing strategy has evolved.

This experience enables me to evaluate the mass of information that permeates the financial press, and present in this website the essentials for the do-it-yourself (DIY) stock value investor.

I have also survived a number of stock market crashes and have now reached a point where I invest with confidence ...and with the goal of making an ongoing average internal rate of return (IRR) of 12-15 per cent per annum.

So I aim for 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.

I check my performance using the internal rate of return (IRR) formula.

The (virus protected) Excel worksheets I use 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.

An Excel worksheet request from you will not result in your email address being stored in a distribution list nor be used by me for unsolicited communication with you.

Some assumptions I am making 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 stock investing and hence minimise costs.
