COP26, UN's annual climate change conference has just concluded. The conference once again put spotlights on Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG), a hot trend in investing.
Finding companies with strong stocks and growth needn't be a trade-off with environmental, social and governance values. Companies like $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ , $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ , $Salesforce (CRM.US)$ etc. mix profitability with ethical and social responsibility.

My beginner's luck with my first trading of US stocks on moomoo started with the free $Apple (AAPL.US)$ share that I have received from joining the innovative and interactive trading platform. As Roman philosopher Seneca once put it "Luck is a matter of preparation opportunity meeting." I must say my luck was activated when I chanced upon the advertisement of $Futu Holdings Ltd (FUTU.US)$ moomoo on the MRT station, which got me curious to try to find out more about this online investment brokerage as I was enticed by the cute sounding name that reminds me of a nursery rhyme and the striking cow mascot that resonates well with a bullish market. The very catchy name and auspicious looking mascot certainly got me intrigued to seek more about moomoo. I eventually decided to open the moomoo account with an initial deposit after having succumbed to the temptation of the free $Apple (AAPL.US)$ share, which was not necessary a bad thing after all. This started my investing journey of US stocks on the moomoo platform. Luck does play a role in investing that is often misunderstood and unappreciated by many. Even the success story of the legendary investor, Warren Buffett hints that other than skill, foresight and discipline, luck has been an instrumental factor in building his long term wealth. The free $Apple (AAPL.US)$ share from moomoo not only led me to learn more about the world's most valuable company and how it is the largest holding of Warren Buffett's portfolio, but more importantly to discover about the value investing model favoured by Buffett himself. Inspired by his success story and wisdom, I began to use the Dollar Cost Averaging strategy to buy more of $Apple (AAPL.US)$ shares which has since become my largest stock holding and subsequently added other fundamentally strong counters $Alibaba (BABA.US)$,  $Bank of America (BAC.US)$, $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$, $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ to build up a long term stock portfolio for myself, with the investment goal of achieving long term gains. While investing certainly requires lots of skill and patience, luck can often be a triump card. Joining moomoo to start trading on US stocks may be the one lucky event that gets me embarked on my investment journey on a new trading platform. It makes me realise that luck plays an important role in investing and in life. Indeed, life is full of luck, even when we just cannot see it. In investing, there is no one single approach that will always render a successful outcome. Other than lots of skill, discipline and patience, I must add that lots of luck will also be needed for successful investing. While pop singer, Kylie Minogue has years ago sung about how she should be so lucky in love, I am still secretly hoping how I should be so lucky in investing!
