Why I invest in Psychedelic Stocks

The Psychedelic industry is growing rapidly. This year I have invested in Psychedelic stocks, specifically Mind Medicine (MNMD) and COMPASS Pathways (CMPS). I understand the biotech sector is risky. The majority of drugs, like 90%, do not reach approval by the FDA. That being said, any successful investor needs to take at minimum a small […]by RandominvestorAugust 18, 2021

Alibaba is Still a Screaming Buy!

Alibaba (BABA) is still a screaming buy. It is a undervalued growth stock that will likely 3x in price in the next 5 years or less. Big profits and gains are made during intense fear and uncertainty. This is usually the best time to buy, not sell. Baba’s income statement/growth/balance sheet remains pristine. The headlines […]by RandominvestorAugust 4, 2021

Partial Portfolio Reveal

This is a partial reveal of my entire investing portfolio showing how weighted I am in certain stocks. Just some quick random thoughts. RVLV is my highest position obviously but I am comfortable with it. Remember, it didn’t start out at 16%. During the beginning of the pandemic it was barely 5%. I will hold […]by RandominvestorJuly 29, 2021

Forget FANG, Look into MINT

Jim Cramer, the well-known host of “Mad Money” created the acronym FANG in 2013, a cute play on words to describe four popular/high-growth tech stocks: FacebookAmazonNetflixGoogle Before that, in 2010, Cramer created the acronym CANDIES, which preceded FANG.

Why I Love Revolve Group Stock

As we navigate past the pandemic I am really bullish on Revolve Group, Inc. (NYSE:RVLV) in the long-term. Just a bit about Revolve, from their website on the investor relations page: “REVOLVE is the next-generation fashion retailer for Millennial and Generation Z consumers. As a trusted, premium lifestyle brand, and a go-to online source for […]by RandominvestorJuly 13, 2021


Thinking Beyond Big Tech

While it’s difficult to say whether Big Tech is past peak growth, investors should start thinking beyond 5-10 ticker symbols, no matter how incredible they are. An obvious point needs to be made: If you have been investing for the past 10 years and have yet to own at least one of the big tech…

Moderna: AI Leader in Medicine

Moderna created the Spikevax vaccine, a miracle vaccine that saved millions of lives during the pandemic. Something not mentioned enough is how AI algorithms aided the vaccine in analyzing vast datasets to optimize the mRNA sequence in Spikevax. While Spikevax isn’t an AI drug, it showed the potential of AI in accelerating and improving drug…

Debunking Investing Myths

Myth #1: Quants, sophisticated algorithms, and the brightest minds in the world struggle to beat the market, and most do not. The odds are that Sam from Nebraska will not outperform the market and is better off not playing around with individual stocks. Just invest in index funds. The problem you have, and will continue to…

RNA Vaccine Revolution

Now that the science is well recognized for mRNA, do you think we’re going to see some kind of RNA vaccine revolution? We already are. There are about 250 clinical trials going on right now using RNA therapeutics and vaccines. Five years ago, there might have been one. So there’s an enormous number. They cover…

Investing and Wegovy

Before ending the year, I wanted to discuss why investing is so difficult for many of us. Investing is complex because several factors influence our decision-making and behavior. Some factors are within our control, and others are not. If you believe investing is only about math and financial modeling, you will likely struggle as a…

Zoom: Evolving How We Work

Zoom was a company I wanted to avoid. An app I was forced to download during the pandemic to communicate with the rest of the world. Since Cathie Wood made Zoom one of the more significant holdings in ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), I assumed it was a hyper-growth, deeply unprofitable company with more hype than…

Invest in Meghan Markle Stocks

According to royal expert Katie Nicholl, King Charles reportedly nicknamed his daughter-in-law Meghan Markle ‘Tungsten’ because of her toughness and resilience. The Oxford English Dictionary defines tungsten as the chemical element of atomic number 74, a hard steel-gray metal of the transition series. It has a very high melting point (3410°C) and is used to…

Revolve: A Royalty Business on Influencers

Revolve remains one of the largest holdings in my portfolio. The stock has suffered due to softening demand in the U.S. Consumers are spending less on discretionary items due to high-interest rates. Revolve and most luxury brands are directly affected when aspirational shoppers spend less money. When you add economic uncertainty and a tense geopolitical…

Investing: Focus on Psychology, Not The Numbers

“If you want to be a successful investor over time, and you find a handful of great businesses, doing nothing but owning them is an amazing strategy. It’s underappreciated as a successful way to make money.” – Bill Ackman I once dated a girl and frequently visited her home, where she lived with her mother.…

I Got To Meet Rod Stewart

What a tremendous experience it was to see Rod Stewart perform at Caesars Palace! Rod’s team’s hospitality was genuinely unexpected and greatly appreciated. I want to thank Micah, Jueying, and Megan for setting up the flight hotel booking and coordinating the meet and greet. I had the opportunity to join Rod Stewart on stage and…
