(Me, this morning)

"OK, Mr. Market. If you're going to continue to be in this bad mood, just take my money and give me some more of the stocks I want".

$PTON (add, at $94.40)
$PLTR (new, at $21.90)
$TTD (add, at $582)

If the carnage continued this afternoon, it was going to be one more from $CHWY $GDRX $DDOG $RDFN $U but maybe next week, along with any opportunistic adds into my other favs like $PINS $ETSY $MELI $SE $DOCU $TDOC $CRWD $NET $FVRR $ROKU $SHOP $SQ $TWLO $ZM.

$PTON : Extreme strength in both the Product adoption (high NPS) along with Connected Fitness. Plenty of runway (even after COVID), along with International expansion. Room for lot more products while making the Ecosystem even more attractive. Great growth and Financials.

$PLTR : Their Gotham adoption on the Gov side will only expand with more and more agencies. Would like to see more traction on the Commercial Foundry side.

$TTD : Whatever $AAPL $GOOG $FB does, confident in Jeff Green and his Team to continue to innovate around the best possible solution for Online/CTV advertising while offering transparency & results to Brands/Advertisers.

Irrespective of whatever the latest fearmongering headline is, and further possibility of near term multiple compression, I'll continue to believe in these strong/durable trends (for many more years to come)...

and continue to invest in the proven best-of-breed Co's within (plus points for recurring Revenue), led by some of the smartest people in the world.

✔️E-Commerce🛒
✔️SaaS📊
✔️FinTech💳
✔️AdTech📺
✔️Gaming🎮
✔️Digital Services💻
✔️Tele-Health & Medical Devices🩺

Everyone's situation is different, but few things I keep in my mind

✔️ Investors always come back to stocks once whatever the latest fear is dies down.

✔️ Markets reward quality Co's over time.

✔️ One of the best time to buy/add to quality Co's is when the Mkt brings them down 30-50% not due to Company specific issues, but due to Macro fears.

I generally prefer to keep my distance from Mkt commentary & my daily actions, but wanted to add some color this week.

HAGW.👋

Got interested in some Pinterest today $PINS (add), along with $PYPL (new)

Almost pulled the trigger on $DDOG (new), $RDFN (new) $SE (add) but reminded myself not to be hero all in one day.

The ones I'm 👀 closely

Portfolio (positions to add to) : $DOCU $ETSY $MELI $TDOC $GDRX $TTD $BABA $CRWD $FVRR $MTCH $NET $PTON $ROKU $SHOP $SQ $TWLO $U $ZM

Watchlist : $ADYEY $CHWY $CRNC $BL $COUP $HUBS $FTCH $PDD $PLTR $SNOW

$PINS : You know the drill. That rare positive Social network, with 450M users with shopping/ideas intent, the ideal demographic for advertisers. International APRU has a long way to go. Lot of useful features being introduced both for Users and Advertisers.

Added itsy bitsy amount of $ETSY today. Also $TTD (add), $NET (add) and $FVRR (new). Thesis in thread below.⬇️

If Mr.Market continues his cranky mood over the next few wks, below are what I'm 👀

Holdings (to add to) : $MELI $PINS $FB $CRM $SHOP $SQ $CRWD $TDOC $GDRX $ROKU $DOCU $TWLO $ZM

Watchlist : $CHWY $PYPL $RDFN $DDOG $SNOW $PLTR $COUP $BL $HUBS

Quick simple thesis on these

$ETSY : Attracted tons of sellers and buyers to the Platform due to COVID (which would have taken years otherwise, masks helped lowering the CAC) , most of them will stick around for years. Financial improved a lot. Outlook is good.

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).

Favs in Watchlist👀 $FVRR $CHWY $DDOG $PYPL $PDD

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.

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)

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

Sharing with few #FinTwit friends. @saxena_puru @BrianFeroldi @TMFJMo @FromValue @adventuresinfi @dhaval_kotecha @Gautam__Baid @SagaPartners @richard_chu97 @7Innovator @investing_city

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

So here we go.⬇️⬇️

1⃣ Know Yourself. Process/style.

2⃣ Business

Got some shopping🛒done again today.
$TDOC (add)
$U (add)
$AFRM (new)

Tempting 👀 $RDFN $PLTR $SNOW $FB* $NVCR* $ROKU* $TWLO* $MELI* (portfolio positions*)

Other interesting ones (based on current prices) that I'm still learning about $NCNO $FROG $FUBO $SKLZ

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.
