My Stock Investing Approach: Research, Conviction, and Size (August 23, 2026) Luck definitely plays a role in stock investing, but what truly drives consistent results is fundamental research, technical analysis, and following the right indicators. By applying this disciplined process, I have reliably identified high-conviction opportunities each year. Combined with aggressive buying/accumulation, patience, and strong holding power, these three stocks have each generated millions in gains for me. Clear Track Record $NVDA: Entered at $15.20 in January 2023 $PLTR: Entered at $8.80 in May 2023 $AMD: Entered at $110 in May 2025 Staying Disciplined Amid Noise Over the past five months, while many gurus and permabears warned of recession and market tops, I continued posting my buy orders in my Weekly Insights and real-time notifications shared with the TIER 3 community. I repeatedly added to the three stocks almost every single week. Those positions are now fully accumulated when they are about to enter the Stage 2 uptrend. Looking Ahead This weekend I will identify 3–4 stocks for the current cycle. I plan to continue buying and adding to them aggressively on drawdowns, guided by my technical analysis, fundamental research, and proven indicators. I will share them in my Weekly Insights with the Tier 3 community this Sunday evening or Monday morning (Asia time). Don’t forget to check them out. The Power of Concentration and Position Sizing I don’t need a long list of winners. Once you know how to concentrate big in a few high-conviction names backed by solid analysis, the rest of the portfolio—whether winners or losers—barely moves the needle. Identifying the right stocks each cycle is only the first step. The decisive step that actually delivers financial freedom or early retirement is position sizing. Small positions never create life-changing wealth. They are tourist investing—safe, comfortable, and ultimately a waste of both time and efforts. Size correctly in the right names, and the rest takes care of itself!

NEWS: Elon Musk discussed the taxes he says he pays in a new interview. For my stock options, I pay about 45% in taxes. Then when I die, there will be another roughly 45% tax. At the end of the day, I'll have about a quarter of what I have. Musk said his tax burden includes federal income taxes, California state taxes on the time he worked there, and potential estate taxes. Source: @TheEconomist

Can we throw out Jevons Paradox and replace it with something more in line with how it’s actually used now? (Aka the paradox of “how can my AI stocks go down when I don’t want them to”) In all seriousness, there’s a perception among too many that it is somehow impossible for stocks to go down while AI models get better. That’s before you get into the people who seem to skip the step of actually understanding anything and just go “this is the AI stock I own and I am bullish on AI so when AI improves then my stock needs to go up” with zero critical thinking involved. I’m all for having conviction, I spent the better part of a year being called an stock pumping idiot by half the people I interacted with because I believed AI would be the biggest trend of our lifetime… (try telling someone that lost 60% being long AMAT, who’s convinced a recession is around the corner, that actually this new chatbot is going to result in higher semicap demand). But…have some humility too, please… If your thesis revolves around an exponentially improving technology, maybe your prior relying on everything else staying static is something worth revisiting.
