Welcome To Mispriced Markets

I am a private investor who has been enthusiastically pursuing the fine art of value investing for over 28 years. I have designed this website to serve as a resource for those investors following or wishing to follow a similar path. I have no official financial credentials to lend any legitimacy to this project. What I do have, though, is an astonishingly good track record...

My Story

I didn’t set out to make my fortune in the stock market. I emerged from what seemed like an eternity of schooling with diploma in hand and quickly discovered that I did not really have a burning passion for the career I had chosen. My hastily conceived plan B was to live a modest life, set some money aside from an early age to give it time to compound and then work as little as I could get away with.

As it happened, the universe had different plans for me. In looking for somewhere to invest my initial savings, I stumbled across Peter Lynch’s book “One Up On Wall Street” where he made the case that, contrary to accepted wisdom, the odds were not stacked against the little guy. Quite the opposite in fact. Individual investors had a lot of advantages over the Wall Street professionals and should not be shying away from taking matters into their own hands. He went on to lay out the value-based approach he had used during his career to dramatically outperform the markets.

I took Peter Lynch’s teachings to heart and started investing my own money in value-priced stocks using a similar methodology. This was the late nineties and the market was on fire. I was lucky enough to enjoy some dramatic successes very early in my investing career. These are what gave me the capital and the confidence I needed to retire from the official workforce at the tender, young age of 34 and devote my life to the study and practice of value investing.

In the years since, I've continued to outperform the market by a wide margin, beating the benchmark Russell 2000 index by over 12% annually. That kind of performance is almost unheard of on Wall Street and is what prompted me to launch this website.

I want to do for a new generation of young investors what Peter Lynch did for me. Investors face an overwhelming onslaught of information and advice. Some of it well meaning. Most of it self serving. A lot of it just plain wrong. I realise that with this website I am adding my voice to the din. But unlike the majority of talking heads out there, I have the numbers to back me up. Value investing isn't for everyone. It requires a peculiar kind of contrarian mindset. But if you're the kind of person that loves a good bargain, then you may have found your market niche.

My goal for this website is to help other investors enjoy the kind of success I have been able to achieve in my career by freely sharing my experiences and whatever knowledge I may have accumulated after nearly three decades in the trenches.
