The perpetual punter

There is a type of personality in the investment world called the perpetual punter.

Picking winners and finding good deals is their stock in trade. They strategically scour the internet and agents windows looking for “deals of a lifetime” – that no-one else can see and that somehow magically appear exactly when the punter is looking.

The jackpot is always within reach or never far away. Throughout their life, small wins reconfirm their strategy while their losses are ignored. Somehow their plane just never leaves the ground.

No-one gets rich like that. Having a stab at things outside your own core strengths is not a recipe for success.

As Aristotle said “Success is a habit not an act”.

Success only comes from implementing long term proven systems. That’s what Canterbury offer to clients.
