When I'm investing for the long-term in individual businesses, I would rather invest in the wrecking balls and not the crumbling walls, irrespective of the short term fears. (Not advice).

There's many more like these

Legacy Media
vs
Streaming & Gaming

Misaligned Healthcare system
vs
Consumer/Outcome/Cost oriented Healthcare
If the Old/profitable Co.'s are keeping up with the times in delivering Consumer choice and value, that's great.

If they are busy counting $$ and figuring out how to trap/gouge Customers, watch out... Tech & Innovation is coming for you, wherever you are. 🎯
Boring disclosures :

1. I understand a wrecking ball might be an outdated analogy, but you get the main pt.

2. Every one should invest based on their own goals, experience and risk tolerance etc.

3. Co.'s listed above are for illustration purposes only, not recommendations.

$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.
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).

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."

Along with Clayton Christensen and David Gardner, the person that inspired me the most to think about innovation, disruption, growth and trends is @adam_hartung🙏

Highly recommended blog for anyone interested in those topics.

adamhartung.com/adams-blog/
His blog really focuses on

✔️the major ongoing trends
✔️on the importance of not ignoring them
✔️how certain Co's are capitalizing on them while others fall behind
✔️how to leverage trends, scenario planning & strategizing in effectively serving your Customers
From a recent article (on EVs).

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.
