Atticvs (a pseudonym), has been an active stock market investor since the 1980s. For the past 20 years he has managed portfolios full-time for himself as well as for family and a small group of friends. His investment returns have been substantially higher than the overall market averages. He is a strong advocate of fundamental analysis and discounted valuations allied to a clear understanding of macro economic issues, business trends and stock market drivers. Favorite investors are Warren Buffet, David Tepper and Ray Dalio. Credos: There are times to be cautious and times to be aggressive. Also, whilst a lack of diversification is dangerous so too excess diversification dilutes potential gains; keep fine-tuning the balance. During a period of 25 years prior to managing investments full-time, he held senior finance, funding and mergers & acquisitions positions with NYSE, Nasdaq and other companies with operations in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, as well as in the USA and spent extensive time working and/or living in each of these regions.less
