Dear investor,

I have spent over four decades studying the market. Over that time, I have developed long-term and short-term "vital signs" to help me understand the current condition of the market and where it is headed in the future. I have also found that common strategies on Wall Street and the academic world can be hazardous to your wealth. I have found it beneficial to question the view of the majority and closely follow the economic and market cycle.

I have also found that income, value, and preservation are important parts of investing, and the opinion of the market (based on it's action) is more important than the opinions of other people or companies. This newsletter is intended to help you keep the emotions out of investment decisions. Investorville is written with a conservative, contrary viewpoint but occasionally offers ideas for more speculative investments. I hope that you find the information in this publication to be a valuable resource in your investment process.
