I will share my greatest work on a regular basis, work that has allowed me to have a 21.84% CAGR since inception (January 2021), when I started investing professionally. For those who want to judge on first basis principles, this substack is not for you.

Carpe Diem—Seize the day
I have always had an issue with juxtapositioning. Growing up and to this day, faulting me at times. Challenging the status quo, even when it’s minutus. However, this ethos created someone who loves debate and intellectual conjecture but triumphs over all—finance.
Finance has always been my passion since my adolescent years. Entrenched in the investment management world, I was passionate about growing my investor acumen each day; still, to this day, I would always write my thoughts. Whether I thought a stock was undervalued for X, Y, & Z, but writing 10+ pages to describe each detail to build the most impenetrable theses I could conceptualize.
I want to share this with a community where we can bounce ideas off one another to outperform our benchmarks. And above all, better our lives through financial means. The ole saying “money doesn’t bring happiness,” it’s bs let’s be honest. For most, and myself, financial freedom is earned through financial markets.
Quid Pro Quo—Something for Something
I want to grow a community of different-minded investors who share the common goal of wanting to grow their investment acumen and portfolios. From my point of view, the synergy of hearing more people judge and investigate my theses and trade ideas will better my investment acumen and results. That is my goal for everyone else: to share their trade ideas and what they are thinking and looking at. It's a fact that something for something; the concept of a group bouncing ideas off one another only betters that group's shared goals.
As always, feel free to reach out with any questions or comments!
