Hello everyone,
After much contemplating, I decided to make a site about my investing experiences. For several years, people have been telling me to write about investing so I finally took the plunge. I don't intend to give investing advice but rather, I want to share what I've learned and observed throughout the years. I guess in a way, it's my thoughts and rationales behind the stocks I bought/sold throughout the years.
I am by no means, a professional investor. Perhaps not even an amateur investor. Most of the stocks I bought were from my own due diligence. I'd spend a few hours during the day reading up on companies, deciding whether or not I'd want to add them into my portfolio. Some stocks were suggested by my financial adviser. Sometimes I listened to my financial adviser, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes you experience regret but I find that it always keeps you humble.
Anyway, here's some information about me:
-I started investing in 2010. My first 2 stocks I bought were Hawaiian Electric and Google (Currently known as Alphabet).
-I'm a millennial. You can say I'm on the wrong side of my 20's lol.. Another reason why I wanted to make this blog was because everything you read about millennials and investing is correct unfortunately. A vast majority of people that I know aren't in the stock market and are afraid of investing in general because of what happened during the Great Recession. As company retirement programs and pension plans become a thing of the past, I feel there's no other options available to gain wealth for retirement. Aside from possibly real estate but sorry this has never outperformed in the long run. Or inheritances but how often does that happen? I feel the benefits outweigh the risks when it comes to the stock market.
-I work a bunch of odd jobs. In fact, I currently have 4 jobs. Well..I'm actually currently employed at 4 different companies. Long story short, I quit my full time job and went to grad school. I graduated nearly a year ago and I'm still job searching because the job market for my profession is rather..how do you say, requires strict qualifications.
I'm beginning to to think this quite a long first post so I'll end it here. I'll be posting as I can but for my next post, I'm going to write about Apple.
Hope you all have a nice day!
