The Conscious Investor Method

3 steps to identify great share market investments

Thank you for buying my book!

I wrote it to help fellow investors improve their returns using the Conscious Investor Method — the same methodology used by Teaminvest members, whom I coach. It has made a significant difference to my own returns and to those of many members.

Of course, your results will depend on how well you manage your emotions, how diligently you apply the method, and on market sentiment itself. Please undertake your own due diligence on the material presented and any companies discussed.

If you've found this page, you're clearly after more — so welcome, and well done for digging deeper.

Note that ARB's figures update twice a year: interim results at the end of December, and annual results at the end of June.

TNE's daily turnover of 740K shares out of 372M ordinary shares is 0.2%, not 20%. So 99.8% remain passive.

Table 9 quotes ARB's EPS & SPS as 1.40¢ & 7.642¢ per share. They should be $1.40 and $7.642 respectively.
