ssssssssssABOUT THE PATSHM WEBSITE:

sssssssThe Patshm (Psychology and the Sharemarket) website is the public face of Patshm Publishing and Patshm Research, and deals with the sale of books and sharemarket research enquiries. The driving force behind Patshm Research Ltd is Warwick Gibson, A New Zealand writer who lives in Taranaki. Warwick has been buying and selling shares on the Australian and New Zealand sharemarkets since 1986. A maths teacher through the nineties, he is now in his fifties and specialises in designing sharemarket systems. He has recently completed a Masters degree in Guidance, and published Starfire Scourge, the first in a science-fiction work called the Prometheus trilogy.

sssssssFor those wanting to know more about Starfire Scourge, click on the link above. For those wanting to know more about sharemarket systems, two things underpin all sharemarket endeavours, and these are discussed below.
sssssssFirstly, it is not possible to make long-term average returns of even 20% from sharemarkets by holding shares longterm. However, if investors are going to trade more often, and (possibly, depending on country and circumstances) pay tax, then returns per annum need to be very good indeed if investors are to be left with a reasonable amount for themselves. The system discussed in the book “Sharemarket Methods for the 2009-2012 Recovery” averaged over 60% a year in the similar 2004-2006 recovery period, from the largest Australian shares, and much more for the same system on smaller companies, or the super-systems discussed in the book.
sssssssSecondly, it is absolutely not conducive to mental health to be watching shareprices on a computer screen every day, whether for five minutes or five hours. All systems designed by Patshm Research include as a cornerstone principle that share investments must be looked at once a month only, and ignored for the rest of the time (while getting on with a worthwhile life).
sssssss In many ways, Warwick's sharemarket books are an attempt to make available to people ideas and systems he did not have when he started out. The “investment industry” does not provide these ideas or systems, and if the long voyage to investment success (within a balanced lifestyle) can be shortened for some people, that would be a heartwarming outcome indeed.
sssssssFinally, Patshm Research supports the idea that investments are a lifetime endeavour, not a ‘get rich quick’ scheme. Investments are one part of a balanced life; a life that includes regular exercise, mental stimulation, patting cats, understanding why we do things, not showing off, smiling at others, developing social skills, people time, emotional growth, financial growth, holidays, early retirement, and brushing one’s teeth!
