My grateful thanks to Christopher, Emma, Lucy and Anna, and all the team at FT Publishing for all their encouragement and support. Also to my indispensable secretary, Kathy, for all the typing, collation and assistance.

Thanks also to all those individuals – colleagues, readers and friends – who, over my lifetime of investing, have shared and trusted me with their ideas, thoughts and investment problems. To those who have benefited from my suggestions and recommendations, well done and good luck! To those who have suffered from my misjudgements and mistakes, I can only apologise.
