Before you subscribe

The letters are written in Portuguese

Worth saying up front. I write the letters in European Portuguese, and there is no English edition for now. The portfolio, the figures and the scorecard are available in English, and they live on the results page.

If you read Portuguese, you are welcome: subscribe and you get everything. If you do not, the results page is the right place to follow the portfolio.

Editorial note

The letters describe decisions taken in a real portfolio and the reasoning behind them. They exist to order the thinking, not to forecast the market. Where a claim rests on a source, the source is named; where a conclusion could be invalidated, the condition that would invalidate it is stated in the same edition.

The value of investments may go up or down. Your capital is at risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. The content of the letters is informational and educational and does not constitute investment advice, nor a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.
