Charles Archer

Charles Archer is an experienced freelance investment writer and analyst. He contributes to a variety of online platforms, but his favourite is the Fool. Charles has a Master's degree in law. He prefers to invest in reliable dividend stocks, with some room in his portfolio for small-cap stocks with growth potential. He only buys stocks with the intention of keeping them for at least five years. As a believer in the EV revolution, he has a soft spot for lithium mining stocks, and is always looking for new lithium opportunities.
