Jim Slater column
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.JIM SLATER, the legendary stock market guru, is to write a weekly column on the principles and practice of investment, beginning next Thursday in the Independent. He will draw on a lifetime's experience of stock valuation and analysing market trends, and will from time to time recommend shares that meet his demanding criteria.
When Slater Walker Securities collapsed in 1975, Slater became 'a minus millionaire'. Since then he has repaid his creditors and rebuilt his personal fortune.
A chartered accountant with a gift for analysing balance sheets, Slater recently published a book on investment, The Zulu Principle, which has been acclaimed by reviewers and investing professionals alike.
Lord Hanson has said: 'Jim Slater has always had a remarkable ability to understand and forecast the stock market.'
Jim Slater's column will be essential reading for the investment community and for savers interested in the stock market.
