Chris Gilchrist – Investment Editor
Chris Gilchrist is the investment editor of Everyinvestor. Chris has been a financial journalist, editor, author, lecturer, TV and radio broadcaster and commentator for over 30 years. What's more important is that he is a man on a mission!
"I am convinced that all-too often consumers are ripped off by High Street banks and insurance companies AND also that things don't have to be that way. That's why I am a passionate advocate for giving people the information they need to make better financial decisions. I believe that with the right knowledge anyone can save hundreds or thousands of pounds a year simply by shopping around and getting better value products.
If those savings are then invested in good quality products people can suddenly find that they are getting rich gradually. That is why Everyinvestor independently researches all its recommendations and produces its own personal finance newsletter MoneyMaker to enable people to manage their personal finances more effectively."
Chris's extensive experience includes writing for many of the national newspapers including The Sunday Times, The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph as well as launching a series of monthly financial magazines and presenting seminars on The Secrets of Growing Rich. He has also been involved in program series for Channel 4, BBC1 and BBC Radio 4.
Unlike most commentators, Chris has also been involved in the practitioner side of the financial services industry, having been involved in setting up a national network of independent financial advisers in the 1980s and currently as a director of investment advisers, Churchill Investments PLC.
Kewill Ludens – Contributing Editor
Kewill Ludens writes TheShareWeekly newsletter. Here's some more about what makes him tick in his own words.
"I've been selecting shares for my newsletter readers for over 20 years. And here's the best summary of my results:
"Throughout all my years of investing I've found that the big money was never made in the buying and selling. The big money was made in the waiting."
That's from the great 1920s investor-speculator Jesse Livermore and I totally endorse it. I am completely opposed to the ideas put forward by many stockbrokers and newsletters, which are always suggesting you buy this and sell that and buy this and sell that. If you deal like a dervish, you may or may not succeed on any individual trade but one thing is for sure, your stockbroker will be able to add a nice new wing to his country mansion.
I believe you will make really big money if you do as Warren Buffett does. So, what does he say about investing?
"My favourite time frame for holding a stock is forever."
But for that to make sense, you must pick stocks that you will want to hold forever. That means shares in companies with unique advantages in terms of products, brands, franchises, markets, management, financing. Companies that produce above average and consistent rises in sales, profits, earnings per share - which are in turn reflected in share prices that rise much faster than the market average.
In the short term, most of what happens in the market is noise - it is random and meaningless. You cannot know whether any short-term share price movement means anything. But in the long run, a company's share price must reflect the performance of the business. That is why companies like Microsoft are fabulous investments, and as an individual investor that's the kind of stock you should be looking for."

He has worked as a journalist in the IT and finance fields since 2003, joining EveryInvestor in early 2007. He obtained his journalism degree in South Africa.
Ian Elwes – Publisher
Ian Elwes is the publisher and chief executive of EveryInvestor. Over the past 22 years he has been intimately involved in the financial services industry working for companies like Money Marketing, Experian and Datamonitor. Ian founded EveryInvestor in 2002.
"I have always loved money, whether making it, saving it, investing it or spending it. What makes me angry is the costs, complications and difficulties that credit card companies, banks, insurance & pension companies, fund managers and stockbrokers have put up to bamboozle consumers.
The arrival of the Internet has made getting good value products much easier – but you have to know where to look. That’s where we come in. EveryInvestor aims to help all its users become savvier spenders, better savers and smarter investors."
