We’re all human

One series of articles I follow is the Financial Times’ ‘My Portfolio‘, in which successful private investors John Lee, Kevin Goldstein-Jackson, Nick Louth, and our own Peter Temple take turns to talk about their shareholdings. It’s a more candid, and relaxed affair than your average share tip or investment column.

This week its Kevin Goldstein-Jackson’s turn to explain how he was caught holding Dream Direct, the shares of which are currently suspended.

“If I had not been painting, writing and watching garden creatures I might have dumped the shares some time ago,” he says.

“If I were a City professional in a skyscraper office I would not be faced with such temptations as fox watching.”

I wouldn’t be so hard on myself. City professionals have other temptations, I understand. They may not be as wholesome, but they’re just as human :-)
