Michael Kemp is the author of The Ulysses Contract. An excellent book about investing tying yourself to the mast so you don’t follow the siren song on to the rocks of financial failure. Look up your Greek mythology if you’re not sure what I’m talking about. In this Quick Tip we talk about:

• The dangers of lack of knowledge.
• Looking at companies as dividend-harvesting machines rather than capital gain producers
• How history can teach us lessons about financial innovation and human behaviour in markets. 
• Ways to reduce the inevitable worry of being invested in volatile markets
