After spending over a year buying and selling shares without rhyme or reason, I started keeping an investment journal in August 2023. I intentionally chose the month to avoid aligning myself with the market’s end-of-year craziness. I needed to move away from the noise and pressure of the market participants. Since then, I’ve been writing […]

On one of those mornings with cloudy skies, as they always do in London, “Lady K” asked me a question that stumped me. I spoke about what I had learned about investing, how much work it is, and how complicated things can get, and she flatly asked me, “What will you do when you get […]
I vividly remember the first time I went to our morning coffee and wasn’t walking briskly with my head up high and shoulders back, happy to start a new day and read more about investing like I always did. This day, I was walking slowly, my mind wandering. I realised that my work in investing […]
There I was, all starry-eyed, reading about Warren Buffet’s life several years back while trying to learn more about value investing. Like everything I thoroughly enjoy, I was totally engrossed in Roger Lowenstein’s book “Buffet, The making of an American capitalist”.

Many times, you lose as an investor simply because you lack patience and end up trading instead of investing. Since I’m a fan […]
De ceva vreme încoace am un alt mod de a privi viața mea de angajat, mai ales după ce am început să fiu ceva mai mult interesat de investiții la bursă, de management și de business. Mă orientez pe partea de investitor pe timp îndelungat care se uită atent la detaliile fundamentale ale firmelor. Tocmai […]
Dacă iei acum ceva ca să vinzi mai apoi la un preț mai mare, atunci ești un speculator. Cine și-a luat criptomonezi face speculație cu ele pentru că nu sunt nici bani și nici obiecte care aduc valoare reală. Sfatul general este ca orice om care vrea să speculeze să nu o facă pe bani […]
Graficul cunoașterii este, de fapt, efectul Dunning-Kruger sub forma unui grafic care are pe verticală încrederea în abilitățile proprii și pe orizontală nivelul de cunoaștere. Cum începi să înveți despre un domeniu nou, nivelul de încredere crește brusc și crezi că lucrul ăsta nou este ușor de stăpânit. Apoi descoperi că totul este destul de […]
