"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.
