Hello April / good bye to Q1 25. Good portfolio performance for you? Certainly has been wise to be a bit more value-centred, the pound has been good and - naturally - gold gave very positive diversification angles. Rest of year challenges? Sure. Opportunities? Yes. Bring on Q2

As I assume most of you are medium/longer-term investors, I expect you all remember that it is wise to be greedy when others are fearful. Personally I put money into investments today. For us active global investors it has been an alright/workable YTD. More to come (as always)

Another volatile day in the global markets; I continued to add to my holdings for the second consecutive day, where I sense medium-term opportunity for my pension fund. Will continue with my usual macro/micro appraisal over the weekend; Q1 earnings season starts soon! Good w/end!

I never tire of listening to The Colour of Spring album by Talk Talk. One song 'April 5th', feels like it was written about a pre-Easter morning of possibilities beyond a natural awakening; a personal & thoughtful song, offering a message within a message youtube.com/watch?v=h3vbVC…

Another interesting day in the global markets (and I see the macro chat continued apace). Yes, I did put some more money in, as a few of my personal pension fund equity choices hit the levels I was waiting for to add to. All good fun and it is always a longer-term game.

That was an interesting last week in the world's financial markets! Undoubtedly more 'excitement' to come, but also opportunities too, especially as the quarterly earnings season has just started. Today's numbers from $FAST were well-received. Thank you Bob for these 10 rules

Happy May Day! In sterling terms, YTD losses are an interesting - but not particularly surprising - mix. As shown by the current quarterly global corporate earnings season, careful active research still matters. It's a complex but still an opportunistic world out there. Enjoy!

Good to see a bit of common sense - at least for 90 days or so - after the 'Liberation Day' foolish announcement. For investors, keep watching the Fear & Greed Index; hope you were greedy when others were fearful a month ago. Now? Not yet but getting closer to taking some profits

I first read "The Million Next Door" nearly thirty years ago; a great and insightful book which deeply changed my financial insights when I was starting my career. Highly recommended.

Happy 4th of July As for investors themselves, always remember the old adage to be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are... :-)
