I sometimes get the question what is the best types of investment one can do? What am I looking for?
1) An investment that always surprises to the upside (no profit warnings)
2) An investment that you want to hold on to forever (perfect compounder)
3) An investment that you can trust 100 % and that will never let you down (no frauds here)
4) An investment that is stable and high quality – but at the same time innovative (good upside/downside ratio)
5) An investment you can be proud of want to tell your friends about (perfect inside out)
Luckily for me, 5 years ago I made the best “investment” in my life when I said yes to my amazing wife Katya and the one thing that I know I will never let go of <3
