Stock Research

  • Researching stocks requires a broad understanding of the economy and its constituent parts. It then requires understanding how those affect individual firms and what to do with that knowledge. It's not a precise science but the nearer you can make it such, the better. That's what I try to do: Remove the guessing insofar as possible.

How I Think About Money

  1. 01 Macroeconomic Realities over Sentiment: Focuses heavily on broad economic forces, including global national debt dynamics, supply chain geopolitics, and historical currency movements rather than short-term market noise or hype. Macroeconomic Realities over Sentiment: Focuses heavily on broad economic forces, including global national debt dynamics, supply chain geopolitics, and historical currency movements rather than short-term market noise or hype.
  2. 02 Fundamental Business Drivers: Emphasizes deep value and underlying operational catalysts in equities, particularly in sectors like semiconductors, critical mineral supply chains, and strategic manufacturing.
  3. 03 Pragmatism and Risk Management: Prefers direct, logic-based analysis with a healthy skepticism toward conventional financial narratives, corporate platitudes, or speculative momentum. Value is evaluated on tangible execution, market positioning, and structural competitive advantages.

Bogleheads Wiki ↗︎

This matters because it gives you the comprehensive basics from one of the greatest investors of all time. I think it's one of the best resources for anyone looking to understand money in general and an excellent resource for those who want legitimate, time-tested advice about investing sensibly.

Blog

Investor.gov Website ↗︎

Investor.gov matters because it is the only major retail investing platform with zero commercial incentive, run directly by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Office of Investor Education and Advocacy. One of the best ways to cut through the fluff.
