Welcome to the Learned Investor.

Why am I’m here?  Simple.  As 2007 rolled around I made another New Year Resolution – Seriously Invest. Well this resolution wasn’t unique to 2007.  Every year I made the same resolution and every year it remained unfufilled.

So why this site?  Even though I’ll be writing this for my own personal gratification and maybe the random monthly visitor, I hope it will keep me on track with my resolution and investing.  You know if someone is watching… then I’ll feel obligated to keep my resolution.

Why are you here?  Who knows.  Maybe you can learn something too — from my successes and my failures.

You can track my progress from the start. Many blogs and newsletters are from the so-called experts, but really what do they know (besides more than me)?  This is just a regular investor who’s learning the ropes and will pass on what I learn.  The good and the bad in a straight forward way.  And if you are one of those experts, please feel free to instill upon me some of your knowledge.  Criticize my decisions, chastise my mistakes or praise my prowess.

Over time this site will become an educational center for new investors.  Not the end all and be all, but a site of lessons learned that can be used to avoid the same pitfalls and benefit from someone elses follies.  It will be a source of investing information, methodologies and advice.  A meeting place to discuss and explain our positions.

Today it is powered by WordPress blogging software.  It has allowed me to go from concept to reality in a minute, but I will be expanding it over time. Adding forums, tutorials, and other information systems.  But that will be some time down the road if I start getting more traction with the site.
