I write/film about money for a living -- both for @themotleyfool and with @BrianFeroldi

Therefore, you deserve to know

💰 WHAT I OWN
📈 HOW I'VE DONE

Here are ALL THE FACTS as 2022 begins ⤵️
First, it's important to know my 💰 situation

I am:

📅 40 Years Old
👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Married with two children (both under 10)
🏦 No major debt other than mortgage
👩‍👧 Near fam & friends who create support net

My net worth breaks down like this:
Your life situation is probably different.

What makes sense for me *will* often be different than what makes sense for you.

That being said, here's how I've done as investor (using numbers possible as far back as I have).
YTD (end of 2021): 10% , or (18%) UNDERperformance
3-Year Returns: 218%, or +128%
5-Year Returns: 530%, or +396%
10-Year Returns: 850% or +490%

📈That = 25.3% CAGR
📉 S&P = 16.6% CAGR

How did I do it? Two simple steps...
1⃣Took @nntaleb's INCERTO principles and applied to stocks.

(NB: Not something he advocates, it's my application of ideas from his books).

The result: THE ANTIFRAGILE FRAMEWORK

You can see me use it 3X per week with @BrianFeroldi (for FREE), here:

youtube.com/brianferoldiyt…
2⃣ I used @themotleyfool as my education and stock filtering machine.

I was a middle school teacher w/ NO background in money in 2007.

Here's what's in that portfolio **as of 1/1/21**.

STOCK -- % of PORT -- Cum. Returns ⤵️
1) $SHOP 17%, 2,300%
2) $MDB 8%, 600%
3) $MELI 8%, 800%
4) Cash 7%
5) $DDOG 7%, 400%
6) $CRWD 6%, 200%
7) $TEAM 6%, 200%
8) $AXON 5%, 400%
9) $AMZN 5%, 1,700%
10) $SE 5%, 60%
11) $U 5%, 40%
12) $GOOG/L 5%, 750%
13) $VEEV 4%, 650%
14) $ISRG 3%, 900%
15) $ABNB 3%, 5% ⤵️
16) $PAYC 3%, 800%
17) $SNOW 2%, 25%
18) $DOCU 2%, (30%)
19) $TSLA 1%, 75%
20) $PATH 1%, (15%)
21) $PUBM 1%, 15%
22) $ZM 1%, (25%)
23) $SEMR 1%, (10%)
24) $RSKD <1%, (80%)

Of those picks:
✅ 13 are current MOTLEY FOOL STOCK ADVISOR recs
✅ They account for 75% of the port
I'm offering an (AFFILIATE) link to the service below.

WHY sell something here?

First, as @BrianFeroldi and I get our (FREE) YT channel off the ground, I have to make ends meet.

Second, my own portfolio, I clearly believe in the service.
You can get one year of STOCK ADVISOR for 50% off below.

I did the math. That's:

🧮 $8.25 per month
🧮 $4.13 per recommendation

In 2010, I paid $4.13 for $AMZN rec. The $500 I put in is worth ~ $14,000 today.

It's a great deal⤵️

Investing:

It's been a BRUTAL few months for me and @BrianFeroldi (and lots like us)

And yet, the S&P 500 keeps going up

Some ideas and what's going on ⤵️
1) Inflation

For the first time since before I ever cared about it, inflation is a real thing.

That makes investors worry.

There's been a flight to safety. High-flying tech stocks with low current earnings are NOT considered safe
2) Weighing-issues

If you look at how the S&P 500 or Nasdaq are composed, a few companies (FAANG plus Microsoft, Tesla, NVIDIA) play outsized roles.

Many of those stocks haven't suffered. They have record earnings and cash

I went through what I own and found companies that:

✅Are Anti-Fragile
📉Are at least 30% off All-Time Highs

The list⤵️
1) Zoom $ZM, AF score = 12, 69% off highs
2) Mercadolibre $MELI, 15 score, 41% off highs
3) Sea Limited $SE, 13.5 score, 41% down
4) Cloudflare* $NET, 12 score, 39% down
5) Unity $U, 12 score, 33% down
6) CrowdStrike $CRWD, 13 score, 32% down

*Don't own yet, but want to
If those scores don't make sense to you, @BrianFeroldi and I show you how to use them real-time.

I don't buy stocks once they're over 5% of my portfolio.

But if I did, I'd certainly be buying $AXON today.

Here's why ⤵️
1) Perhaps the best mission statement I've ever seen
2) The core business.

If you're unfamiliar, this company makes

* TASER stun guns
* Axon body cameras
* A whole bunch of software that helps save TONS of time for police and other public servants

That last point is the most important for investors

Over the past decade, I've been blessed with:

✅27% annualized returns
📈That's roughly 1,000% total

One of the keys behind those results: Looking for something that's often ignored by analysts...⤵️
OPTIONALITY

The practice of TESTING out a new product or service in an effort to fulfill its mission.

🔴If it doesn't work, it's no big deal -- it was just a test.
🟢If it does work, it's a game-changer.

Critically, the company already needs a wide-moat rev stream to count on
No company is a better example of this than AMAZON $AMZN

In 1999, books and music were the wide moat business. It decided to test:

🔴Amazon Auction (failed)
🟢3rd Party Merchants (huge success)

Admitting your mistakes as an investor is crucial. It makes you:

✅Accountable
✅A better investor.

In that light, when @BrianFeroldi and I reviewed Peloton in June 2021, I liked it so much that I bought shares.

Since then, it dove 60%.

$PTON

Here's what I'm doing⤵️
First, I need to REVIEW MY REASONS FOR BUYING

Because of our YouTube channel, this is pretty easy. Can just pull up the results of my framework, and immediately make changes to the OBJECTIVE variables
Right off the bat, I know there's NO meaningful change to:

1⃣ Concentration Risk
2⃣ Glassdoor Reviews
3⃣ Founder's Role
4⃣ Insider Ownership

🔴Finances, however, changed a ton -- which lowered the company's score to a 9 overall
