Investor of the Week


Welcome to TheCentralFranc’s Investor of the Week series.

For any budding trader, it's important to have a set of role models in the financial realm.

Every week, I’ll be paying homage to a different trader, investor or business magnate.

Here’s this week's pick:

The Eye of Sauron

The omniscient Eye of Sauron has such outstanding visionary qualities that it has been dubbed the “Oracle of Mordor.”

It pioneered the philosophy of value investment, which saw the backing of over 1.2 million orcs to conquer Gondor and re-claim Middle Earth markets.

Despite its immense wealth, it is known for its personal frugality, opting for a solitary gold ring as its luxury possession of choice.

After many years topping the Forbes rich list, the Eye of Sauron suffered a blip last year when a rogue hobbit decimated one of its major hedge funds by embezzling client money inside Mt. Doom.
