Thank you for being so transparent. The most important thing I have learnt is doing what you do to provide value to others. The money and fame follow you once you get that.

Great story Richard! Like many people, I invested stocks at the wrong time and getting out too quickly and holding on to losing stocks too long. I rebooted this year in May 2020 and stumbled upon you on Twitter and others with similar investment philosophy like Chris Perruna, Puru Saxena, etc, and have had success so far. Keep up the good work! Much to learn from a young man like you!

do you still have Mootley fool subscription? and do you recommend joining the community?

Expand full comment

Yes, I still have a subscription to Rule Breakers. It's a great service for beginners. I also recommend checking out the other resources I posted about in my pinned tweet if you haven't already

I always love to learn from youngsters like u . YTD stock performance has been 1000% but that’s sheer luck and timing . Currently 100% cash waiting for the pullback

Richard, I made lot of mistakes in my investing career. Last year after $LVGO IPO , I did lot of research & analysis on $LVGO and decided to make my biggest investment . My average cost was around $30 and it dropped to $16. I kept holding it because of my confidence in my analysis. It was hard to find any mentions of stock on twitter. Good luck !

That's a huge upfront investment! Even people with a lot of conviction would be hard-pressed to continue holding through that drop. Is LVGO still your largest investment or are there other stocks you also really like now?

Expand full comment

Yes, that is correct . This is my biggest investment after the increase in value. I have other stocks in my portfolio (like $AMD, $NET, $DKNG, $WORK, $SPCE ). I also have stocks which are short term investments (based on recommendation from one of the services "Art of Trading"). But what is working best is my own investment and my own analysis (at least for now)
