A PODCAST ABOUT INVESTING WITH MARK ATKINSON

The Desert Island Investor podcast documents the experiences and strategies of private investor Mark Atkinson. Mark’s long-term investments have enabled him to become financially independent and to retire at the comparatively early age of 53. The stocks that Mark reviews on his podcast are from his real portfolio and not a ‘virtual’ portfolio, so these are genuine win-some, lose-some stories. This is our main podcast about investing but we hope that you’ll also enjoy our regular feature ‘Question in a Bottle’ where Mark answers listeners’ questions about investing.
