About

This journal is based on the premise that the long term performance of any investor will primarily be determined by the skill, discipline and technique of the investor, rather than the market conditions in which they operate. With this in mind we will strive to detail practical ideas and observations which will inform and ideally assist the reader in becoming a better investor. headshoulders.JPG

The articles provided will generally detail investment research which I (Ben Fairfax) have undertaken within my own investment activities. Where appropriate we will also describe the inner workings of the investment world from the perspective of an independent investor (as opposed to an industry participant).
