WheelieDealer Latest News
I will use this part of the Website to provide Short Updates where relevant on various matters of Interest, which are too long for Tweeting and too short to bother with a Blog entry.
4th April 2019 Before I helped Michael @vilage_idoit with his excellent eBook, we did an Interview thing where we spoke together for ages on Skype and Michael then listened back to the recording and put it into text. I have no idea how he managed it but Michael somehow came up with some interesting and unusual new angles on the Questions and he was very good at the follow up Questions that came along as well. I think it works a treat and you can find it here: **PARTS 1 AND 2 ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT THIS LINK**
https://www.shiftingshares.com/interview-with-pete-wheeliedealer/
23rd December 2017 The Latest Copy of Aim Prospector Magazine has just gone live and includes a useful piece with a clear explanation of their Screen technology on Zytronic ZYT which still looks very appealing and also covers Personal Group PGH who do Employee Benefits, DotDigital DOTD and Telford Homes TEF which could be particularly timely as Housebuilders tend to be strong in Q1 each year. It also explains why MySale MYSL looks very overvalued (this certainly opened my eyes - I hadn't realised how expensive it had got). I know David O'hara who produces this Magazine very well and we often chat about Stocks we have uncovered and whether or not they look good - you can buy a copy of his Magazine for a paltry £1.99 via this link:

6th September 2017 ****INTERVIEW WITH DIY INVESTOR MAGAZINE**** This interview came out in the latest copy of DIY Investor Magazine which you can read here:
http://www.diyinvestormagazine.com/#48
Also in the same Magazine there is the latest update on 'The Great British Trade-Off' with Fagin and Humbug - I know one of these guys so it is quite interesting for me to see how they are doing. Good comparison of a Short Term Approach versus the Long Term. You can read the Mag page here and the ongoing Blog is at the lower link:

Thinking, Fast and Slow
by Daniel Kahneman. I recently finished reading this book and it has really made a deep impression on me. It is clear that my Brain is almost constantly misleading me and I have realised that this is probably driving me to make poor Investing Decisions. If you skip over to the top of my Bookshop page, there is a pretty detailed summary of the book. It is not an easy read by any means but I see it as a 'must read' if you are interested in the Psychology side of Investing. |
