Whats your Investment Philosophy?

Two weeks ago, in this paper, I wrote an article on what I believe are the main barriers to successful investing. I described how the Investment Industry has created and cultivated a belief that when it comes to managing your money, Process and Philosophy are one and the same. They do this by effectively packaging and productising different investment approaches into complex, black- box type structures and, as a result, most of us come to believe that successful investing is tied into single, point-in-time strategies rather than any long term philosophy.

Are markets too expensive?

As most readers will know, I am an avid supporter of local markets and indeed I shop regularly at them in Galway city, Oranmore, Clarinbridge, Moycullen, and anywhere else I see them up and down the country.
