My contribution to #FinTwit trivia.

The Alphabet soup of single letter ticker symbols on American Exchanges.

How many of these can you guess correctly? My score was only 12 out of 21. Not a single one that was down today.😀

The only ones available are I, N, P, Q and S (in case you have a Company to take public😀).

Below are the names of these Co's and the description for some of the unfamiliar ones.
$A : Agilent Technologies (Lab/Diagnostic equipment)
$B : Barnes Group (Industrial/Aerospace)
$C : Citigroup
$D : Dominion Energy
$E : Eni SpA (Energy)
$F: Ford
$G : Genpact (SW)
$H : Hyatt Hotels
$J : Jacobs Engineering Group
$K : Kellogg
$L : Loews Corp (Insurance)
$M : Macy's
$O : Realty Income (REIT)
$R : Ryder System (Transportation)
$T : AT&T
$U : Unity Software
$V : Visa
$W : Wayfair
$X : US Steel
$Y : Alleghany Corp (Insurance)
$Z : Zillow
Why did I do this (semi) useless exercise?

I own $U $V $W and wanted to know all the other ones. Looks like $Z is the only other one I would be interested in adding to the mix.

It's just an incredible feeling of being invested in businesses that are firing on all cylinders operationally & financially.

Few exs : $ZM $MELI $SE $ETSY $SQ $PINS $ROKU $CRWD $PTON $TDOC $TWLO (long all).

You can be skeptical of their stock run-ups or concerned about their current valuations, but you cannot take away their incredible Business performances over the last year.
It's fair to be concerned about their Valuations, but even if growth slows down compared the last few Qtrs (expected in many cases), these Business are on a different trajectory compare to pre-COVID.

"Things I wish I knew when I started Investing" My quick version.

Applicable more to Business focused, long-term, individual investors picking their own stocks (but not direct advice of course).

So here we go.⬇️⬇️

Here are few of my quick personal guidelines for Volatility (as a net long-term buyer of good businesses with decades left)

✔️Once you get Ben Graham's Mr. Market analogy into your head, Volatility will stop surprising/bothering you.
✔️ You can't predict it, but knowing that it'll show up sometime, you can make your Portfolio resilient enough to withstand any short-term shocks.

✔️ Liquidity in great Co's + Volatility induced low prices : That's not something to complain about.

Good article on the four general types of Investing edges.

✔️Informational edge
✔️Analytical edge
✔️Behavioral edge
✔️Organizational edge

schroders.com/en/uk/the-valu…
Very important for investors (especially individual investors picking their own stocks) to figure out what your edge is, that will enable you for LT success in the Market.

W/o getting into too much details, below are some methods I recommend to improve chances of success.
1⃣ Informational edge : Most of the raw information is freely available to everyone, but if you can filter out the noise (media/stock predictions, random opinions), & focus only on the reliable sources (Co produced docs, analysis by investors you respect..) you can have an edge.

My $ROKU 📺story⬇️and some lessons in the thread below. Image
It's not often that I get add so many times at attractive prices in such a short amount of time, but that Mr. Market can be extra generous sometimes and you got to oblige. Image
Few general lessons (not recs)⬇️

✔️ Don't get stuck on your initial (not fully informed) opinions

✔️ Consider facts , updates from reliable sources and analyze with fresh eyes

✔️ When you have a good enough thesis, start a small position (don't wait for perfect entry points).
