The best investment is investing in yourself!

$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US) is also quietly picking up 🤣

Raining again today.

Taking the subway.

Noticed a guy reading across from me.

Holding a physical book 👍

Disciplined and motivated people will succeed sooner or later 🤔

The only watershed in the wealth gap — self-discipline!

A buddy asked me to do a post on how to analyze a specific asset.

Here's a quick overview: Buffett, Munger, and Aswath Damodaran have all explained the methodology clearly.

1. Buying stocks is buying the company and its future cash flows.

2. Key areas to evaluate: business model (sustainability of profitability), moat, team culture (long-term viability), and the CEO (integrity and problem-solving skills).

For example:

1. I buy $Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US) because I believe it has a strong moat and sustainable profitability.

2. For $Tesla(TSLA.US), I'm bullish on the future business models of Robotaxis and humanoid robots, as well as Elon Musk as CEO; he has overcome countless challenges over the years and will continue to do so. The same logic applies to $SpaceX(SPCX.US).

3. With $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US) and $Amazon(AMZN.US), I'm betting on Cloud + AI and their ability to generate profits in the AI era.

I won't list every example, but the core idea is believing in the company's products and its future earning power.

Understanding this means that when volatility hits, you still stand by your thesis and happily add to your position 🤔

My goal is to

have a portfolio that fits on one mobile screen

Anything more and I won't be able to keep up😂

Some friends asked: Why is the entire internet talking about the AI bubble bursting wherever you go...

Here's my reply:

Because such topics drive traffic.

Media outlets are too good at manufacturing panic and chasing traffic 🤔

Friends, it's best to watch less of this stuff.

Learn to think independently!

$Apple(AAPL.US) stock is indeed rising slowly.

However, I've executed about 3 rounds of long calls this year.

Made some cash flow from them.

Some buddies asked me to explain the logic.

It's basically when the market misprices and you believe the drop is unjustified, that's when you step in.

The prerequisite is having sufficient understanding of it 🤔

I know the ChatGPT moment for $Tesla(TSLA.US) Robotaxi is inevitable.

It's just a matter of when.

So, when the prince falls on hard times, it's the perfect opportunity to position yourself. 🤔

$Tesla(TSLA.US) starts batched long call exit mode

This is not investment advice!

When you find an investment strategy that suits you

and enter a positive feedback loop

then time becomes your friend 🤔

Pharma stocks can also surge fiercely.

AI will accelerate breakthroughs for more intractable diseases.

By the way, I've been positioning in healthcare + AI for nearly a year now.

I also hope to encounter such a miracle day someday 😂

$UNITREE(688836.SH) really doesn't know how to handle the A-share market

This is crazy! 😂

$Apple(AAPL.US) sell some long calls to lower the cost basis

Not investment advice!

The greatest use of money is not for consumption.

but for generating wealth.

Wealth generation is a skill.

And even more so, a spiritual practice.🤔

I looked up how Duan Yongping and lilu, two big shots, handled $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US).

I prefer lilu's kind of operation.

The operations are very few; in all these years, they only sold once. 👍🏻

Stock god Duan Yongping reduced his holdings in a large amount of tech stocks $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US) $Microsoft(MSFT.US) $Tesla(TSLA.US) $Apple(AAPL.US)

Increased position in Chinese concept stocks $PDD(PDD.US), re-established position in $Alibaba(BABA.US)

I don't understand many of Duan's moves

If I don't understand, I won't comment or touch it

I only see one point: for value investing, you should sell when you need to 😂

I also sold some $Apple(AAPL.US) and $BRK.B a while ago

We need to think independently 🤔

Berkshire $BRK.B aggressively increased its position in $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US) and $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US)L in Q2, bringing the total to 12.62%🤔

The assets you bought

will feel agonizing

It's because you're watching too many of them and checking prices every day

Especially when it comes to real money

This is human nature 🤔

If you keep asking whether to sell or not

Chances are, it's not that you can't handle it anymore

It's the demon (human nature) deep inside influencing you

Some people trade stocks their whole lives without making any progress.

Others take a step up every year.

And after a few years, they finally enter the door of investing.

Where is the difference?

The difference lies in their mindset.

In plain terms, it's the ability to learn independently.

What to learn? How to learn? No one tells us.

We can only rely on our own independent learning, summarization, and integration.🤔

Back to my hometown.

Recovering my state and getting started.

Continuing with a $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US) long call.

Also picked up some $Apple(AAPL.US) long calls for January next year.

Not investment advice!

Hardcore breakfast in the Northwest

Roujiamo, water basin mutton soup

Stuffed to death 😂

$Berkshire Hathaway B(BRK.B.US) Q2 earnings beat expectations:

Net profit attributable to shareholders surged over 107% year-over-year, and investment income increased significantly by 155% year-over-year.

$Alphabet - C(GOOG.US) has become the fifth largest holding🤔
