What is the-wiseguy.com?
We, Bill-Bull and The-Wiseguy, are comfortably living our lives not bothered by any investor or boss, maybe just our wifes. Bill-Bull is a long-term value investor who bases his decisions solely on technical analysis (wiki) and The-Wiseguy is a swing-/daytrader (wiki) who has a more fundamental buying decision based on the news of the day (and because of that gets stuck with certain shares for a long time). In these posts we are expressing our thoughts about the stock we picked and occasionally about the world.

What is our goal?
Our moto: "There are tens of thousands of shares in the world but only a few are good enough to be wiseguys" (just click the motto) . We think a warning is in place, as a Dutch saying goes: "Resultaten uit het verleden bieden geen garantie voor de toekomst" meaning something like past returns do not guarantee the future. That is why we stay vigilant and so should you by reguarly reading our website. … We hope you have a good time and hereby apologize upfront for hurting or insulting anyone. That is never our intention.
….Stay home.....Stay safe....Stay informed….
