Good article on the importance of having a Behavioral edge.👏

medium.com/@richard_malon…
✔️Confidence in your analysis
✔️Don’t check stock quotes daily
✔️Diversify
✔️Be completely objective in your selection AND selling process
✔️Invest in ETF’s and index funds
✔️Focusing on the long term
✔️Building a portfolio from a position of strength
Few good quotes from the article.

"If you are playing the markets to get rich as opposed to building wealth, you are almost certainly bound to lose."
"An investor secures a behavioral advantage when he/she combats negative influences, avoids emotional investing, & remains objective and stoic in the face of uncertainty.

Rational investors don’t let shortterm price movements produce adverse emotions (& resulting bad decisions).
“The desire for more, the fear of missing out, the tendency to compare against others, the influence of the crowd and the dream of the sure thing — these factors are near universal....
....They have a profound collective impact on most investors and markets. This is especially true at market extremes. The result is mistakes — frequent, widespread, recurring, expensive mistakes.”

$UPST These are definitely weird times. You never expect a position (bought for long-term) to return more than 100% in 7-8 business days. Image
Although I usually wait few Qtrs after any IPO to understand the how the Business & Management perform in Public Mkts, in this case as I was still researching/liking the Company, Mr. Market offered a 50% discount on March 5th/8th and I couldn't resist.

✅What I liked in my (not so deep) analysis ⬇️

✔️Attractiveness of it's current products (making credit available for more eligible people, using better/comprehensive metrics compared to legacy ones).

Really good article on importance of having a clear investing framework that suits your strengths/goals, thinking about your edge (analytical, behavioral), and having clarity on the types of situations you're investing in.

Some good pts in here.
It's not about agreeing with all the pts someone else lists. It's about checking which ones apply for you and can help improve your process.

Mr. Market (when visiting in a bad mood) is actually your friend bringing some nice gifts, if you have the right mindset & strategy about it. Updated "Fish in a Barrel" picture.

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)
