Inaugural entry

October 15, 2006

I am a neuroscientist by day, and an amateur stock-picker on weekends. I have been investing for about 3 years now (circa 2006), and my fundamental approach is a value-oriented buy-and-hold strategy. I started this blog when I found that there is a dearth of information about value investing on the web. Most of the discussion on message boards and popular discussion sites are fragmented and incomplete at best, and downright scams at worst. The few bits of quality discussion is sequestered in subscription-only boards.

On this blog, I aim to provide quality stock analyses and articles about value investing strategies. My main motivation is that the need to provide material for this blog will continually hone my investment skills. I have also posted my personal portfolio here (accurate to the last week or so), so that you can check to see what stocks I currently own. I put my money where my mouth is, so you can expect that I have a position in any stock that I favorably review.

In return, I hope that readers like you will post comments sharing your views and ideas, so that we can all benefit. Together, we can all become better stock-pickers, for fun and profit.

Initially, I expect to be publishing a post every couple of days, drawing from my accumulated material over the years. Eventually, I expect to be slowing down to publishing once a week.
