The Diary of a UK Stock Investor Podcast is a diary-style, educational podcast documenting Chris's long-term journey as a UK retail investor, with the personal goal of one day becoming a Stocks & Shares ISA millionaire.

Each episode reflects on the realities of long-term investing, including lessons learned, mindset, decision-making, and progress along the journey. The show also features listener correspondence, discussion of general market news from UK and US stocks, and educational explanations of investing concepts drawn from real-world experience.

From time to time, episodes may explore publicly available company financial statements to help listeners better understand how to read financial data and what different figures mean in practice. These discussions are for educational purposes only and are not intended to influence investment decisions.

The podcast does not provide investment advice, personal recommendations, or guidance on what to buy or sell. Chris does not disclose specific investment transactions or encourage listeners to follow any particular strategy. Any views shared are personal reflections only and may change over time.

All content is provided for general information and educational purposes and does not take into account individual financial circumstances.

New to your podcast, Enjoyed the listen but I’m really at odds with the concept that you calculate yield based on the price you bought for ( regardless of how long ago or how much the value has changed ), as opposed to the current price. This will normally make the investment look better than it truly is. The important figure for comparison surely has to be the current price you could sell for otherwise how do you truly compare the performance against other investment options that you could switch to? In extreme cases the yield could actually be awful against current SP but still looks great against the purchase price - and your concept would advocate holding when in fact far better positions could be available. The only real benefit in this method seems to be it would likely deter investors from selling sooner and encourage the long hold - but whether that’s the right choice would be largely invisible to the investor as they could not see true current yield.

Interesting but…
