"An alligator investor relaxes at the bottom of his pond waiting for good things to swim by or fall in. He disdains crocodile investors, who charge out of the water to seize their prey."
I am a successful investor with more than 30 years
experience in the financial markets. I work from my
home in rural New England. I am looking for stocks
which are outperforming the S&P, yet have lower
volatility and higher dividend yield than the index. I
also wait for those stocks to be on sale before I buy
them. Once I own a stock I tend to hold it for the
long haul. The purpose of this journal is to clarify
my investment strategy by putting it in writing, and
to record important information for future reference.
I don't give investment advice. If I have an open
position in a security being discussed I will disclose
it.
