The Desert Island Investor

Mark Atkinson and Paul Kerin

The Desert Island Investor podcast is a series of podcasts that document the experiences and strategies of private investor Mark Atkinson.

The stocks that Mark reviews on this channel are from his real portfolio and not a "virtual" portfolio, so these are genuine win-some, lose-some stories. We hope that you"ll also enjoy our regular feature "Question in a Bottle"
