Buy and Hold Plus is designed to provide insight into investing techniques that small investors can use to boost their gains beyond those that can be obtained with a buy and hold strategy.  A buy and hold strategy typically yields a ten percent annualized return.  The goal of Buy and Hold Plus is to outpace this by a percentage point or two per year.  While that may seem like a small amount, over time, it adds up.

The author has been investing for his entire life.  Before he was born, his parents received a few shares of AT&T for attending a pitch for life insurance.  They didn't know what to do with the shares, so they registered those in his name.

That pre-birth present may have influenced the author in the womb, but he has been interested in investing for his entire life.  His parent's ability to pay for his college tuition from their investment gains influenced that as well.

The author has a degree in both business and psychology.  This provides him with the ability to understand the two most important factors in investing, investor sentiment and business evaluation.  The mindset of investors is a huge factor in what the markets do, and eventually, all stocks follow the fundamentals.

When the author is not blogging, he works in sales and marketing.  Besides investing, the author enjoys travel, photography, hockey, skiing, and aviation.
