Trade smarter, not harder: Unleash your inner pro with our toolkit and live discussions.
I’ve been writing openly about my share buying for four years now. You have a right to know if my shares do well or badly. In the tables below I present the returns after taking the hit on broker costs, stamp duty and bid/offer spread.
If you want, you can read the Newsletters I wrote at the time of purchase which try to express the logic behind the decision.
(Some of you have joined us recently so, in case you are not familiar with them, I briefly describe the criteria for my portfolios following the portfolio performance tables.)

The Buffett-style portfolio
This type of share is rarer than the others, and so I will combine all years. Unfortunately I have only one company so far – I’m working on it though.
