In my previous post, I wrote about biases we as humans have to deal with. And due to these biases, I have lost great opportunities in investments. I know that giving up human biases is the toughest task for anyone. It’s hardcoded into our DNA. And that comes from your nature and nurture.
But I stumbled upon Stoicism, a philosophy that has helped me be a better investor.
And here is my main guiding philosophy for investments:
Where the world is going and how can I get there first!
It’s quite simple when you think of it.
This is what helped me spot bitcoin in 2014. (20X) This is what helped me spot Tesla in 2018. (8X) This is what helped me spot Square in 2019. (4X) This is what helped me spot Pacific Biosciences in 2020. (7X) This is what helped me spot Tata Elxsi in 2019 (3X).
These are some of my best investments to date. It also took a lot of courage and conviction to stick with these investments.
Please share with me your investment philosophy. I’d like to learn.
Happy Investing,
Deepak
