What is Paid to Wait?
"Investors are in the business of processing information." -Seth Klarman
Paid to Wait pursues to be a newsletter of ideas and research about stocks that pay a (healthy) dividend while you wait for capital appreciation.
There’s a defined but simple framework for the investment ideas.
By subscribing, you won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
I also write on Seeking Alpha and Finnish investing medias such as Salkunrakentaja and Sijoitustieto.

About the author
I have been investing in stocks actively from 2007. Then, as a business school student I was waiting for the stocks to crash, which eventually happened. I went in a bit too early, but managed to have confidence to buy more and more stocks during the great financial crisis. I have been mostly buying ever since and became a full-time investor in 2021.
My investment style can be characterized somewhere between value and contrarian investor. I emphazize dividends as a form of income and returns that an investor can enjoy by consumption or re-investment. It is difficult to sell a stock at a right time and that’s why I rather rely on dividends to safeguard decent returns.
Before turning to an full-time investor, I spent over a decade in different roles in building services industry (HVAC) in sales and marketing management and business development. That’s why I understand much more about tangible assets than about code. Holding a business degree in a highly technical field taught me to learn fast and simplify complex subjects in a compact form.
I hope you enjoy reading the newsletter and I welcome everyone to subscribe!
