General Stock Investment Strategies/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer general questions about stock investing. I am not a trader and do not have much ability to answer questions on trading. I am a long term investor, so those questions are fair game.
Experience in the area
I have been a private investor for decades. I have been specializing more in stocks since around 2000. I publish my own newsletter for long term investors. My website is stockopinionletter.com.

I enjoy that everyday the valuations change thus making it possible to make profitable investments.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I hope to always be learning better strategies for investing in stocks. I want to help others stay ahead of the market averages in their own stock portfolios.
