Stock value investing to build wealth from home

This site outlines my experience with value investing. Check out the site map to get an overview of all the topics covered, and in particular an investment plan that provides a summary of how I invest in shares.

Because I also outline some of the less successful strategies I have tried in the past, the information I provide here may save you a lot of time by avoiding some of the pitfalls of stock investing.

My experience extends from the mineral boom of the late 1960s through to the present day. During this time I have used a range of different strategies.

I have now reached a point where I invest with confidence and with the expectation of making an ongoing internal rate of return of at least 15% per annum.

What this means is a 15% return per year on the total share portfolio. This results in a doubling of my investment about every four to five years.

I assume that you …

  • have an interest in making money to gaining financial independence over time
  • would like to find out how to accurately track the ongoing performance of your stock portfolio
  • wish to control your own decisions about share investing and hence minimise costs.
And I expect you agree that there is one thing worse than making bad decisions that lose money ... and that is to pay someone else to lose money for you!

Need to be convinced about the benefits of this type of investing? Then read on!
