I am a 56 year old, private investor who has been actively investing in the markets for over 28 years now. Through a combination of saving as much as I could, as early as I could, spending as little as I could and getting some extraordinary investment returns, I managed to leave the rat race early, quitting my day job at the ripe old age of 34 to focus on what has become a life-long passion: the pursuit of value investing.
I live with my wife in a log house nestled amongst the pines in the Canadian north woods, about as far from Wall and Bay Streets as Omaha, Nebraska is. When I’m not perusing excel spreadsheets, I’m usually out skiing, mountain biking, drinking coffee at the local hangout or working on a never-ending series of home renovations.
I love value investing. I love finding ridiculous sounding companies that go on to double or triple in price. I get the same charge out of buying an obscure packaging company that others might get from buying the latest hot technology stock. I love the thrill of uncovering something no one else seems to have noticed. I find value investing to be a maddening, endlessly challenging and intensely rewarding pastime. Through this website, I hope to share some of my passion for this lucrative hobby with you.
I created this website to reach out to the investment community at large. Please don’t hesitate to drop me a line. I’d love to hear from you.
