    I have invested in a few single shares, but mostly in funds / IT's. I tend to start checking more often if something has doubled in value, but otherwise if I'm happy with what a company does / plans to do and the debt load doesn't seem to be increasing beyond what I regard as acceptable I leave things alone.

    The Smart Money Method: How to pick stocks like a hedge fund pro by Stephen Clapham. 



    Great, thanks for the recommend. I'll look into that.
    Maybe temper this by learning about what happened to Long Term Capital Management, although that's more to do with bonds. Similar, if less dramatic, lessons can be learnt from Woodford.
    And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
