Alexander Green

Chief Investment Strategist

Alexander Green is Chief Investment Strategist of The Oxford Club. For 16 years, Alex worked as an investment advisor, research analyst, and portfolio manager on Wall Street. After developing his extensive knowledge and achieving financial independence, he retired at the age of 43.

Since then, he has been living “the second half of his life.” He is the Senior Editor of The Oxford Communiqué. He also operates three fast-paced trading services: The Momentum Alert, The Insider Alert, and Oxford Microcap Trader. And he writes for Liberty Through Wealth, the Club’s free daily e-letter focused on financial freedom.

Alex is also the author of four bestselling books: The Gone Fishin’ Portfolio: Get Wise, Get Wealthy... and Get On With Your Life; The Secret of Shelter Island: Money and What Matters; Beyond Wealth: The Road Map to a Rich Life; and An Embarrassment of Riches: Tapping Into the World’s Greatest Legacy of Wealth.

I had no money, and that’s not a pleasant state. And I knew that I would never work hard enough or long enough to get rich on my wages alone, so I realized I was going to have to invest. And if I was going to learn how to invest successfully, I was going to need to learn what I was doing.
I’m glad you said outside of investing because I do consider investing a hobby. But I am also an avid reader and a fairly low handicapper in golf, as well as a regular hiker and tennis player… and I also like to travel and meet new people.

My parents are a great inspiration. They never tried to tell me how to live, but they were great role models for how to live. I’ve had many inspiring teachers indirectly in that I’ve read a lot of very wise people over the years. But I would still say my parents were my greatest inspiration.

That’s nearly impossible [to say]. But I guess I could give you the top two investing books I’ve read in the last year. That would be The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel and Richer, Wiser, Happier by William Green.

All of them, I hope! But I think it’s important to learn from your mistakes so you don’t make them over and over again. I also think it’s impossible to avoid making a lot of those mistakes. Even if you read about someone else’s mistakes and try to learn… you sort of have to make the mistake and live with it for it to really sink in. I think one of the greatest mistakes I learned in the beginning was not having a clear idea of how I was going to get where I was going and not getting there as a result of it. So following a system is key… especially a system that has a very high probability of working.

There is. It’s Steven Covey’s quote and I’ve modified it slightly, but it goes something like this: “To live, to love, to laugh, to learn, and to leave a legacy.”

Be smart and disciplined, but above all… patient.

I only joined The Oxford Club about a year ago, and I think it will prove to be one of the best decisions for my financial well-being I will ever make.

In my 34-year history as an investor and former investment advisor, I have never followed a stock-picker with a better track record than Alex Green.
