Why This? Why Now?
Hi, I’m James - a professional investor with over 20 years of experience at top-tier institutions like Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, and Nomura. Now I’ve created the Rock & Turner investment community for people serious about investing.
It’s about sharing ideas, insights and strategies with a like-minded group who want to achieve more.
I focuses on high-conviction, multi-year investment themes, combining macro forecasts with deep-dive, single-stock analysis. Articles are in-depth, complex, engaging, thought-provoking, and often “provocative” but always grounded in real data. All posts are educational, distilling complex investing philosophies into clear frameworks and lessons for long-term investors.
Most importantly, investment ideas are actionable - paid subscribers don’t view Rock & Turner as a cost, but as an investment that yields strong returns. For those with no investment intent, just interested in reading for pleasure and educational purposes, the content is all free but the actionable posts are delayed by 45 days (the window in which many of my ideas show strong time based returns: SoftwareOne was up 17% within one week of publication, ADF Group was up 12% over the same time frame.)
My aim is to provide a complete, systematic investment philosophy (”Quality Investing”) that subscribers can use themselves, which is more valuable than just getting stock tips.
Why’s It Called ‘Rock & Turner’?
Great investors all describe the same process: turn over a lot of rocks to find hidden gems.
Peter Lynch, interviewed by Peter Tanous for the book "Investment Gurus: A Road Map to Wealth from the World's Best Money Managers", published 23 March 2000, said:
“If you look at ten companies, you’ll find one that’s interesting... The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game.”
Warren Buffett, in response to a student question at the University of Kansas, 2005. put it this way:
“You have to turn over a lot of rocks to find those little anomalies... No one will tell you about these businesses. You have to find them.”
That’s the spirit behind Rock & Turner. We turn over the rocks others ignore. Sometimes we find dirt. Sometimes we find gold.

Why this community?
Investing is hard. Really hard. It takes time, effort, and expertise. Most people don’t have all three - and without them, investing becomes more like gambling. That’s a fast track to poor results.
I do things differently.
I’ve spent decades in the finance world. I’ve written an international best-selling book on stock market success. I know what works, and I know what doesn’t. I’m not here to pump out daily noise. I write when I’ve got something genuinely valuable to say - whether that’s a strong idea or a sharp insight. Some weeks I’ll write nothing. Others, I might publish three posts. But every time I do, you can be sure it’s worth your attention.
What’s in it for you?
This isn’t a one-way street. I want your input. Your ideas. Your questions. Because the more perspectives we have, the stronger we all become. We wouldn’t have a stock market if everyone thought the same way - and it’s in those differences that opportunity lives.
Even if this community helps you discover just one great investment a year - or avoid just one disaster - that’s already a win. And for most, that’s more than enough to make the whole thing worthwhile.
