I decided to try something different for this post. I always thought that are some affinities between investing and Fantasy Football and wanted to write about my approach to it since a while. What prompted me to do it now is not because I won (yeah! it helps) but because Read more
When I was 17 I went to the US for a 1 month basketball tour with my Italian team; every two nights we were sleeping with a different family in a different town, but there was a ritual that happened at almost every stop: after the first dinner, the father Read more

My personal investment trifecta: passive income, uncorrelated to stock market, good topic at a party (once we will be able to go to one). A music royalties investment company, Hipgnosis Songs is the brainchild of Merck Mercuradis, former manager of Elton John, Guns Nā Roses and Morrissey; it was founded on Read more
