Hi, my name is Anton and thank you for taking the time to visit my site and read this. I have been investing in shares for over 10-years, completed a Master of Applied Finance, and worked briefly in the share investment world.

Through the journey I have been mentored byJohn Anderson while I was undertaking my Master of Applied Finance and have worked with Elio D’Amato. This has helped me convert the knowledge and theory I learned through my studies into successful real world strategies and techniques. This site is about demonstrating how I go about investing in shares and the research I do along the way. I have a fundamental investment approach which is heavily driven by ratio analysis and valuation. For me, ratio analysis cuts through the hyperverbal out there by the investment media, company spin doctors (otherwise known as CEO’s), and the endless investment fads and market darling stocks.

After over a decade of investing in stocks I have honed a style of stock picking based on valuation. I give no consideration to diversification, I am sector agnostic, and don’t get caught up in reading the tea leaves (aka. technical analysis). Therefore, I am very much a bottom up investor and will not pay over the odds for a stock.

I don’t try an romanticize the process. I don’t think I own the company. If I did, I would have control over business decisions, assets, and cash flows. As a shareholder you have very little control if any over all three. So, it’s about the value of equity and identifying stocks that can grow their equity for you.

I have just recently bought a house (2025) and liquidated my shares to help buy the house and now I am in the process of rebuilding my share holdings. I hope you will follow me on my investment journey.
