Welcome

Welcome to Thorts on Investing.

Thorts will start at the macro level and look at market based strategies for an Australian investor.

The focus will be on easily accessed historical benchmarks for superannuation investment for a loss adverse investor with an eye to introducing a currency overlay.

The inspiration was finding out that I am more risk averse than I thought and that I would sooner not make a dollar than lose a dollar.

I use the free version of Incredible Charts, Yahoo Finance and Excel.

My favourite blogs include Doug Short, Seeking Alpha, Investment Postcards from CapeTown, Bespoke Investment Group, Billy Blog and Debt Deflation.

I will add other sources as the blog develops.
