Forty acres · an Airstream · the open sky
"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." — Benjamin Franklin
Grow a portfolio from ~£2,000 to a level sufficient to purchase forty acres of land somewhere in the UK — and live on it in an Airstream. This site is a live, transparent record of that journey — every trade, every strategy, every lesson learned along the way.
The strategy is driven by research, patience, and compounding returns. The journal documents the journey as it happens.
Compound annual return assumed constant. Requires active management and consistent reinvestment. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Updated after every trading session. All figures in GBP.
Hover a country to see the approximate price of forty acres. Bright green means we could buy there right now.
As the portfolio grows, more of the world lights up.
