The INVESTING OASIS
Education Blog Series

MORE BUCK-FOR-YOUR-BANG!

Incremental steps towards more effective investing.

Not intended for day trading.

This series of 14 educational blogs is intended for investors to build and manage a portfolio of stocks capable of outperforming the S&P 500 Index across all time horizons.

"Preposterous!", you might think. "No-one beats the market consistently."

While there is no magic bullet, there are many simple, subtle and low-risk ways to improve your performance. I invite you to take the challenge.

Each blog outlines tactical, contrarian value-creating concepts that can be put to immediate use. Each is a micro summary of a comparable chapter drawn from “The Investing Oasis”, a road map for long-term equity investors to maximize the growth of their wealth. Like panning for gold, so too can a portfolio be mined for more value. Every investment decision should have a purpose:

to increase performance
to temper volatility
to eliminate undue risks (rewards do not align with increased uncertainty)
to reduce costs
to be more time effective.

Let’s get into it!

Caveats: Readers are assumed to have a clear understanding of their emotional tolerance for volatility, their financial capacity to invest where outcomes are uncertain, and hold a reasonable expectation for capital market returns.
