Press releases and other forms of news events are a good way for companies to get some level of public exposure. Something noteworthy has occurred and the world should know about it. If a particular news report highlights a company that seems interesting to me personally, I’ll consider adding it to my watchlist. I tend to dig a little deeper and learn more about the company before ...

I look at investing in general as a large cooking pot that you start adding different ingredients to a little bit at a time. You can’t expect to add everything all at once and have a miraculous meal prepared instantly. It takes time to gather and prepare all the ingredients you need for your meal. And then the time factor comes in to play. You have to cook these ingredients slowly and keep stirring so you don’t end up with a worthless pot of overcooked ingredients.
Take the time to get to know a company’s fundamentals. Take the time to see where this company is headed and what their mission is for the future. Their goals, sources of funding, strategies to overcome possible hurdles, and level of innovation all play a role in how successful a company can be within the next year, 5 years, 10 years, and so on.
In the words of the great Warren Buffet: “Successful investing takes time, discipline and patience. No matter how great the talent or effort, some things just take time: You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.”

To summarize how my investments have faired in 2021, I can simply say it's been a rollercoaster of swings... Up and Down and All Around!
One thing is for certain: I definitely ramped up diversification!![]()

$Lucid Group (LCID.US)$ (up 38.6%)
$Broadcom (AVGO.US)$ (up 29.1%)
$Home Depot (HD.US)$ (up 19.62%)
$Lowe's Companies (LOW.US)$ (up 27.1%)

Now, this diversification may or may not pan out, only time and the market will tell. I may be down on some of the new stock tickers I've added, but I don't feel I'm out. I'm determined to let time run its course, adding on dips if I feel the company's directions and goals remain attainable. I've learned that adding in small waves lowers my chances of adding in too much too early. It's also important to realize some gains when there are dramatic upward fluctuations in a stock's pricing. When it looks too good to be true too quickly... it might very well be, so cash in on the uptrend!
Looking in retrospect, I bought into the wave of electrification and I think it would eventually lead to some success. I'm big on dollar-cost averaging and don't tend to throw everything all at once into investments. The new tickers I added this year that I'm rooting to turn it around at some point are:
$CleanSpark (CLSK.US)$ (down 38.6%)
$SoFi Technologies (SOFI.US)$ (down 24.25%)
$Roku Inc (ROKU.US)$ (down 39.65%)
$MercadoLibre (MELI.US)$ (down 24.28%)
$Stem Inc (STEM.US)$ (down 32.14%)

To end it on a positive note (and unrelated to investing), I was able to get back into running 5K and 10K races in 2021!![]()
Thankfully, with the pandemic worries subsiding slightly and the vaccines available, outside activities in groups became more normal again. Looking forward to a 2022 filled with positivity and gains for all!

In my opinion, new age has gained the popular vote for the time being, but what matters is where the industry truly shifts the big bucks. The traditional automakers are preparing their EV fleet, so they’re looking into the future transition into electric. And if they can all make more money on subscriptions for possibly charging and replacing batteries as ongoing services, then they’ll gain even more from their EV sales.
NEW AGE FTW 🤘🏻

I don’t think that borrowing money or going into debt to try to “win big” in the stock market is a good idea. There is some level of risk with most investments, so I would not recommend others to begin their journey in the stock market in the red. Saving some money and putting it aside to invest is a more plausible option in my opinion. There will be less pressure to hit gains when you don’t have an outstanding balance somewhere else.
OK, so maybe more than three words here😁 but I am definitenly hoping that the EV sector is going to move in a positive direction, and that it’ll be a catalyst for growth for this economy 🚀
$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ I believe that a large, innovative company like Microsoft has learned to keep up with the times and look beyond the present. I think that Microsoft’s presence in the cloud infrastructure industry will boast well for the company this year and beyond. I believe the market will show growth in the cloud computing industry this year. Looking beyond with other large tech companies like $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$ and $Amazon (AMZN.US)$

$Futu Holdings Ltd (FUTU.US)$ adding a little on the dips
