These high volatility periods (price of admission) don't upset you as much if you
✔️Are a Long term investor in Quality Businesses.
✔️Not surprised/intimidated by periods of Volatility.
✔️Have some cash (or can favorably raise it) to buy bargains in good Co's during these periods.
✔️Analyze if the current situation in anyway impairs the long-term prospects of the Business (sometimes strengthens the anti-fragile & financially strong businesses aligned to trends)
✔️Buying more of existing holdings & higher up ones in Watchlist, based on the combination of conviction & opportunity while ignoring the short term noise.
✔️Making each purchase because the long-term risk/reward is favorable at that price while
✔️Being fully aware that the price could continue going down in the short term (maybe add even more).
The mini-crash in the growth names over the last two weeks was much narrower than the COVID crash which impacted all sectors (and provided a wider pool of available opportunities)...
but still offered an opportunity to pick from my fav sectors.
Excellent & free resource to share with Beginner/Intermediate investors on understanding the fundamental investing concepts. h/t @PrestonPysh & @stig_brodersen 👏
"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".

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.
$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.
