Ian Wyatt has been actively investing in stocks for the last 25 years. He turned that passion into a multi-million-dollar Internet business when he founded Wyatt Investment Research in 2001. Ian’s goal is to help investors beat the market by finding great investments that are attractively priced. Ian knows that wealthy investors tend to invest differently.
