10 Years of Value & Opportunity – 10 Highlights, 10 LESSONS & 10 Books
Again, time flies. Exactly 10 (!!) years ago on December 15th, 2010, I started this blog.
As every year a very special “Thank You” goes to all readers, especially those who actively contribute either by comments or mails. I need to keep on mentioning that the interaction with readers is really driving the motivation to continue the blog in this format.
In this post I will reflect mostly on writing the blog, highlights and lessons over the last 10 years plus my 10 all time favorite book reviews. There will be a 10 Year investment/performance review in the beginning of January 2021.
Some numbers:
| 10 year stat | ||||
| Year | Visits | % Germany | Posts | Comments |
| 2011 | 93,811 | na | 411 | 694 |
| 2012 | 178,485 | 49.82% | 266 | 1,368 |
| 2013 | 325,240 | 43.14% | 168 | 1,243 |
| 2014 | 430,794 | 32.26% | 121 | 1,068 |
| 2015 | 459,992 | 25.94% | 110 | 1,105 |
| 2016 | 521,197 | 28.52% | 113 | 1,645 |
| 2017 | 635,741 | 28.79% | 114 | 1,580 |
| 2018 | 452,267 | 28.57% | 92 | 784 |
| 2019 | 325,169 | 31.56% | 84 | 563 |
| 2020 YTD | 483,824 | 39.03% | 107 | 1,211 |
| Total | 3,906,520 | 1,586 | 11,261 |
All in all, I managed to post ~1600 posts over these 10 years which created close to 4 mn visits. The drop of visits (and comments) in 2018 & 2019 was clearly the result of posting less due to a lack of time from my side.
So why I am still doing this ?
