About Garry Davis
Graduating with a Science degree I was fortunate enough to be able to work across most heavy industries in the country which gave me a first-hand understanding of how so many business operate. This has proven to be absolutely vital in being able to analyse companies realistically.
I started trading just before the crash of 1987 with absolutely no knowledge of how the market worked, and was taught a very expensive lesson, losing more than half of my trading capital in just a few days.
I spent the next 5 to 10 years educating myself via a series of somewhat painful experiences where I would make some money and then give it all back plus a bit. Perhaps this sounds familiar to you?
Most traders give up after a period of this sort of punishment, but my growing passion for the market kept me in there. Eventually, after probably 10 years of tough lessons I started to develop an understanding of how markets really worked and why it was so necessary to approach things differently and stand aside from the masses.
Once I understood how to profitably engage the market, my trading skills have constantly improved and for a number of years, I have been able to consistently make money trading the share market.
Some of the hard lessons had significant emotional, as well as financial impacts and equip me very well today to work with aspiring traders because I understand how their emotions respond and how they are feeling under a variety of circumstances because I had been there so many times myself. So what started as a hobby, grew into a passion and then ultimately into a business which has expanded since the middle of 2008, primarily through word of mouth referral.
The last few years has been personally a hugely rewarding experience and makes it easy to provide a total commitment to helping my clients achieve what they desire from the stock market. I am in a unique position where I can dramatically short-cut the time and cost it takes others to learn the necessary skills.
My philosophy
Whilst I provide specific stock recommendations, the core emphasis of my business is the support and execution services which I firmly believe are the essential missing elements from mainstream service providers.
I use a 3-pronged approach to selecting stocks which encompasses…
- Gain clarity around trade / investment purpose, key personal objectives and attitude to risk. This helps define not only strategy but also the type of stocks which are likely to be suitable in a well-constructed portfolio
- Fundamental analysis of company financials, not to produce a “perfect” answer, but sufficiently to minimise the “lemons” that are very costly
- Technical analysis to determine suitable entry and trade management levels.
I advocate using a core and trading portion approach which can allow significantly better returns whilst insulating traders from the inevitable correction impacts. Both the Australian and US markets are covered extensively with a strong focus on growth stocks which operate in sectors that are considered to be in unstoppable megatrends. Strong growth coupled with high probability of being achieved is the best way to deal with a rapidly changing and uncertain world.
My qualifications
I hold a Bsc (hons) in Industrial Chemistry from the Uni of NSW and have broad experience across the majority of Australia’s major industries in operational and management roles which provides me with a unique knowledge about how varying industries work. Since commencing full-time in financial markets in 2000, I have gained the following qualifications;
- ASX accredited derivatives advisor in 2005 from Tribeca
- SDIA accreditation in 2005 from Deakin University
- Diploma of Financial Planning (FNS50611) in 2014 to provide advice in Superannuation
