I am Antonne Owen-Thursfield and this is me pictured onboard the Venice Simplon Orient Express train (highly recommended but not in the height of summer as the train lacks air-conditioning!).

After graduating from the University of Bristol with a degree in Maths I spent the next two decades working in the City of London, trading international markets.  I now work from home and get to see plenty of my two boys as they grow up.

I started this blog as a way of keeping track of my thoughts as I follow the ups & downs of the markets.  Please follow the link to my ”Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” blog-post for a fuller description of my thoughts on investing from the viewpoint of a long-term investor.
