I am a retired accountant with a background in large mining projects from feasibility to full-scale operation. I manage my own investments and for the majority of my portfolio I have a strong preference for Blue Chip stocks. For the balance of my portfolio I have an interest in small and micro-cap stocks, seeking superior returns.I seek alpha returns through identifying companies with the right fundamentals and assessing the risks and investing long. Although investing long, I understand the importance of share price in the short to medium term for these small cap companies as it impacts their ability to raise capital.
