At the end of the day, if someone signs up and just takes the best picks from Morningstar and Chasing Alpha (about $150 a month), they can do okay and just ignore everything I say. It's silll cheaper

Thanks for this I am a CFP but never worked in the industry and only started serious self investing say 5 years ago, partly because the returns from the managed accounts just do not add up. And of course, time is hard to find doing it independently. But, it can work out. Best advice - don't get nervous in market cycles as long as you are not day trading.

Fascinating, not that I have the cohones to try it myself. I believe my late brother-in-law may have done something like this in the US after his forced retirement many years ago. I admired him and I admire you for your success. Go from strength to strength!

I invest in the market also and it's a nice way to supplement income in retirement. I use Seeking Alpha, as do you, but also Investors Business Daily, and Vector Vest. I think you would enjoy the Vector Vest trend following method of investing, similar to your investing strategy but with many more bells and whistles.
