Kevin Goldstein-Jackson is the well-known investor and writer who has contributed a regular column to The Financial Times since 1986 and has also written for a number of other publications in the UK and overseas. In his column in the FT he, almost alone in the world (if you discount eternal gloom merchants), correctly predicted the October 1987 Stock Market Crash. For the FT's Quarterly Review of Personal Finance he devised a share portfolio which, since its inception in October 1991, has risen in value by well over 1100% - an excellent performance bearing in mind that, during the same period, the FTSE-All Share Index rose by less than 230%. Kevin Goldstein-Jackson worked for 15 years in the TV industry for various companies in the UK and overseas. His programmes ranged from Anglia TV's internationally successful drama series Tales of the Unexpected (working with stars such as Sir John Gielgud, Jose Ferrer and Joan Collins) to documentaries in Arabic and the Hong Kong Song Competition. He was the founder of a successful commercial radio station in the Thames Valley area. He also founded TSW (Television South West) - the ITV company of which he was Programme Controller and Chief Executive - and led the company to a listing on the London Stock Exchange. TSW's programmes won a number of national and international awards and was profitable under his leadership. He ‘retired' in 1985 (at the age of 38) in order to write and spend more time travelling and playing the Stock Market. He has visited over 50 countries. Various of his books have appeared in English, Dutch, German, Italian, Indian, Canadian, Macedonian, Estonian and US editions. He has degrees from Reading University (BA in Philosophy and Sociology) and Southampton University (MPhil in Law) and is a Fellow of: the Institute of Directors, Institute of Management, Institute of Financial Accountants, Royal Society of Arts and the Royal Geographical Society.
