And it’s not because Bitcoin is having a tough couple of weeks, ok well maybe it sort of is. It’s also partly because the regulators seem to be catching up (BitBay and Coinbase de-listing privacy-focused coins such as ZCash and Monero in recent weeks and months makes...

I thought I would end the current promotion of my NED Gigging booklet with this doozy of a quote from the fantastic Boom, Bust, and Bankers documentary currently showing on All4. It was said by an ex-investment banker, to describe the lack of repercussions for what...

I’m on an email list which talks a lot about podcasting. It’s not exactly my main focus for Guerrilla Investors, but I quite like the bloke who heads it up (Steve Olsher) so I’ve stayed on. Today he was writing about how in 2020 he doesn’t plan on doing more, in fact...

This book isn’t in my list of top five business books, however it was an interesting read earlier this year. As with most books I can’t remember who recommended it or where I heard about it, but it was an interesting 175 or so pages and took only a few days to rattle...

The return on investment will come when you apply what you’ve learned. Sounds simple right? It is, but you’ll be amazed by how many people don’t get this easy to understand concept. If you’re the type of person who buys lots of books, programmes, or courses but then...

I’ve considered Twittering about Guerrilla Investors. I’ve considered Facebooking about it as well. I don’t know if Instagram is even worth looking into, and ditto Snapchat and any of those others. It’s not necessarily because some or all of those platforms are aimed...

Not Salesforce that’s for sure. Although they’re best known as being a cloud-based software company, I’ve also heard people refer to them as the best marketing company in the world. They’ve built the platform, but it’s consultancy companies and developers who build...

I was taking some time out to do a review of my 2019 a couple of weekends ago, and it occurred to me that I’d done a pretty large amount of free consulting this year. I always thought a bit of groundwork and proving you know your stuff is needed in order to land...

Never heard of one of my new favourite people? Neither had I before today, even though I’m a pretty big basketball fan. Mugsey Bogues (another great name) on the other hand I was familiar with, so when his name came up in a book I’m listening to I thought I would see...

Actually, how many zombie films are there where the undead are the victors (maybe every so often during the seemingly never-ending Walking Dead)? Maybe they lack military strategy due to being unable to use their brains, who knows. SOMBIEs are obviously nothing like...

So yesterday you heard about my redundancy back in 2009. My other kick up the backside came in early 2017 when I was off work for two weeks with stress and exhaustion, and then collapsed on a Ryanair flight a month or so later. If you’re reading this whilst...

I was made redundant back in 2009 from my financial analyst job at a media firm in London. The credit crisis was hitting advertising hard, so our team was halved. I was pretty happy about it as I was already planning to leave, and took the £9,000 or so to South...

Earlier today I was thinking about a final email to round off the promotion of my friend Greg Robinson’s FIRE Revolution, and thought that telling you all about some well known investors who followed this strategy would be useful. However, after trawling through a few...

Smart cookies with big pension pots will have ignored all the mainstream news scare stories about people taking control of their pension through a SIPP and making mistakes – and will be quietly building their pot without an advisor in sight. My friend Greg Robinson,...

As I’ve written about often enough already, the Government seems determined to drive small buy-to-let landlords out of business. A raft of new legislation is making this a difficult game to win, and that’s before you even begin to worry about any new legislation a...

According to my friend Greg Robinson, former editor at Agora Financial, it’s about investing in a diversified group of assets that generate predictable and recurring income streams. In the early stages of your investing career, you simply plough that income back into...

My friend Greg Robinson, former editor at Agora Financial, has spent the last year designing, building and launching a programme to teach regular Joes how to generate consistent income from some of the biggest and safest companies in the world. And although he’s based...

Ok maybe they wouldn’t say it specifically about investing in property, but they did seem to ask a good question in their one-hit wonder: “What’s going on?” Which was strangely titled What’s Up. Go figure. What’s going on in the property investing world is that it’s...

This story was in the news a few weeks ago, so did anyone catch the one about people being charged for lemon in their sparkling water? Unbelievably, a group of people were charged €30 for five bottles of sparkling water, including 50 cents for each slice of lemon. The...
