‘Lord (John) Lee of Trafford was one of the first UK investors to build an ISA portfolio worth more than £1 million, reaching that landmark in 2003.’

Daily Telegraph, March 2012  

John Lee is one of the UK’s most successful private investors. Beginning with an investment pot of £125,000 in the early 1980s, by 2003 he had turned this into a thriving portfolio of over £1 million, and it has significantly increased in value since then. Using efficient investment methods, as well as pursuing a winning ‘buy and hold’ strategy, he was the UK’s first ISA millionaire.

"I cannot think of a better way of reinforcing that key message that long-term investing can prove utterly rewardingCertainly, mother is getting a copy."

Jeff Prestridge - Mail on Sunday

"There is some very sound advice, I like Lee's common sense approach...

It's the book for people who are prepared to build their portfolio steadily, one stock at a time and work on the principle that you're buying for the long term...

Lee is rightly proud of what he has achieved but also honest about the fact that he has made mistakes, usually either because he sold a stock too soon or because he simply misjudged. Either way he's adamant that if you make a loss you should learn the lesson and move on."
