The Halfwit Crustacean: Inside the Mind of a First-Year Investor

The Halfwit Crustacean is a book about Gwen Hofmeyr's investment beginnings, as she recounts all her most embarrassing mistakes made during her first year as a budding investor. From costly micro-trades to a fortunate kiss from Lady Luck, the Halfwit Crustacean provides an unorthodox look into the chaos of the retail investing world.

In her professional life, Gwen works as an analyst for Folly Partners, the family office of Andrew Wilkinson and Chris Sparling, who are co-founders of the up-and-coming Berkshire Hathaway of internet businesses, Tiny Capital.
