About

This site is basically a place for me to post and share my knowledge of the Stock Market with the greater investment community. I have spent many thousands of hours studying the entire financial arena and I thought I would create a place to share all this knowledge. I pretty much post a new topic when I find something interesting or I read something that I feel like sharing. I am always happy to receive emails and answer questions about investing, in addition to extending the knowledge of others. If you want to see a particular topic written up – feel free to Contact Me at any time and I’ll try and get something up. Equally, if you feel that you can help me improve this site and/or wish to partner with Small Stocks in some way – drop me a note. If you think something I’ve written is wrong, or don’t like something – post a comment on the article and I’ll respond. I never block comments unless they are just plain abusive and nonconstructive, or are just outright SPAM.

I honestly believe that everyone should be given the chance to be financially independent and free of debt and liability. Becoming an investor is not a science nor is it hard, it’s just a realization, understanding and awareness that the economy which surrounds us all is fundamental to all our lives whether we like it or not.

I seek to promote this fact by providing a web site that offers investor education as well as a professional opinion on the stock market. I feel that by providing a site that shares knowledge and views on the stock market, market news, money tips and more – and which gives investors a real chance to make their money start working for them without following the stereotypical large blue chip company investment path – is a great benefit to everyone. Knowledge is meant to be shared, so I am sharing it.

It is important to remember when you are investing or looking to invest, there is never such a thing as a stupid question or thought. Remember you are dealing with your hard earned money and deserve to ensure that you are getting the best possible return for it that you can. It is critical to remember that everything which appears on this site is simply my view and opinion, and you should always check with your financial planner first before making any investment, as they have analysed your financial situation and understand what decisions are best for you. It’s obviously realistically impossible for me to do that. In saying this, I hope that this web site can provide you with a better insight into the world of investing, and regardless of whether you are a professional investor or not – I trust that you can take something from SmallStocks which may be useful.

I do Small Stocks in my spare time and enjoy doing it as it keeps me in check with the market. However, it all takes a lot of my free time. If you feel I have helped you in someway, please consider dropping me a donation. It will only encourage me to post more information and answer more of the many emails I receive every day.
