Hello, and welcome to the Better Investor Project.
Before I dive into the goal of this project, I want to share a little about myself. I am from Colorado, 26 years old, engaged, and a software engineer. Okay, now lets get back to investing.
I am a novice investor and, since I am still new to investing, I have hope that I can beat the market and make fortune from my couch. I have read and listened to my fair share of books on the best investing strategies, and time and time again I hear that you can’t beat the market, you should just invest in the S&P and hope you for the best.
Well, f***k that. Call me naive, because I am. But that’s not going to stop me from trying to master the art of picking winners.
I see all of these stocks that have 100% gains over the course of a year, why wouldn’t I just work harder on finding those stocks? Intuition tells me, many have tried, and many have failed. So I will probably be the next to fail.
So that’s my mission, to find gem stocks. But, my ultimate goal is to learn more about investing so I can teach others, as that is what bring’s me joy. However, I do also enjoy investing. I like the idea of having faith in a a company’s success, not because of headlines or buzz words, because I did the research and I believe the company has everything in place to be successful, and at worst not go to zero.
Anyway, thank you for visiting, enjoy the journey, and hopefully we can all become better investors.
