Big Believer in #Fintwit TRANSPARENCY

Portfolio is down ~30% in 3 mo

😠That's no fun
🧘But I'm not too worried.

Why?
Long-term results matter:

3⃣-Year Return: 176% (vs. $SPY 67%)
5⃣-Year Return: 363% (vs. 78%)
🔟-Year Return: 590% (vs. 243%)

I'll be making some changes too⤵️
I'm consolidating to highly antifragile companies:

✅I've added new position to $HUBS, $NET, added to $ABNB
✅Will be adding much more to $PUBM (*when allowed)
✅Slight adds to $ZM, $UPST, $SNOW*

*Considering* partial sell of $CRWD, all-out sell $DOCU, $RSKD, $PATH, $SEMR*
Those "Sells" aren't sure things. And I think they could do great things. But I don't like following tons of stocks and it's time for me to consolidate.

That being said, it's important to show where I have #SkiInTheGame as of NOW

Stock - % of Port - Total Returns⤵️
$RSKD <1%, (80%)
$SEMR <1%, (20%)
$PUBM, 1%, (20%)
$ZM, 1%, (40%)
$ETHE, 1% (30%)
$PATH, 1%, (30%)
$TSLA, 1%, 56%
$DOCU, 2%, (43%)
$SNOW, 2%, 0%
$PAYC, 2%, 620%
$NET, 2%, (7%)
$HUBS, 3%, 10%
$ISRG, 3%, 670%
$U, 4%, 5%
$SE, 4%, 10%
$VEEV, 5%, 600%
$GOOGL 5%, 700%
$ABNB 5%, 0%
$AMZN 5%, 1,500%
$AXON 5%, 380%
$TEAM 6%, 170%
$DDOG 6%, 200%
$CRWD 6%, 200%
$MDB 7%, 430%
$MELI 8%, 650%
$SHOP 14%, 1,600%

I don't love highlighting this stuff on Twitter. Investing is a small part of who I am as person. But I still think it's the responsible thing to do
I'm also not super-comfortable with affiliate links, but I'm including one here to @themotleyfool's Stock Advisor Service (50% off)

For less than $8/month, you get:

✅Two stock recs.
✅10 "Best Buy Nows"
✅Access to hours of streaming content.

Why do I offer it?

1⃣I believe in it. Stock Advisor picks = 59% of my port.
2⃣It's a really good deal.
3⃣Any revenue from this = more time for me on better content (and, admittedly, time with my family)

AND, if you sign up in February, I'm donating 25% of (after-tax) proceeds
For February, it will be split between:

✅Milwaukee Boys & Girls Club
✅Local Food Pantry

I'll post so you all know I made good on that promise once the payments come in.
To review:

1⃣ I've already added to $ABNB, $NET, $HUBS in past month
2⃣ Would like to add to $PUBM, $ZM, $SNOW, $UPST when allowed
3⃣ Will slightly trim $CRWD to help fund these
4⃣ Very tight leash on $DOCU, $RSKD, $SEMR, $PATH
And if you want access to @themotleyfool Stock
Advisor for $8.33 per month (50% off)

25% of proceeds go to:

✅Local Boys & Girls Club
✅Local Food Pantry

It's a rare win-win-win-win

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).

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)
