Good morning!Investing is a team sportAn early report today, as it’s my periodic trip to Reading for an investor lunch today. I’ve been meeting the same small group of investors for lunch every 1-2 months now for the last 14 years, and there are always some interesting insights shared. In my view, building a network of like-minded individuals, and nurturing contact with investors that you know are honest, successful, and trustworthy, is really important, as well as being enjoyable on a social level. Investing can be a lonely pursuit, and some bulletin boards contain so many unpleasant amp; downright malicious characters, that in the main, communicating with such trolls online is both dispiriting and a waste of time. Emails, or face-to-face contact with hand-picked good eggs is much more pleasant, and worthwhile.Newbie investors often ask me for ideas on how to develop their investing skills, and first on my list is to build your own network of successful investors that you can share ideas with, discuss companies amp; sectors of interest, etc.. We’ve got one of the most civilised bulletin boards here on Stockopedia too, with some terrific contributors, so thank you to everyone who posts useful follow-up points each day after my articles. More of this please!Of particular note…
