The term "compounder" is thrown around a lot. But what does it mean? I learned from the investing philosophies of Buffett, Munger, and others to boil down what I believe is the best overview of what a Compounding Machine actually is, and how to invest in them. These 8 slides

There's a good chance Google becomes a bigger company than Microsoft. Both have cloud, but Google has TPU's, YouTube, Gemini, and Waymo. Microsoft wins out in business productivity software, but Google has a lot of that too. I still feel great about having Google as my

Don’t be shocked when it keeps going higher. So many positive things in one stocks is very rare. It’s now a $172,000 position, with $77,000 as gains. Happy to have it as my largest position.

I can't believe I got myself in a situation where I get paid to talk to awesome people about stocks and investing all day. What a life. SUPER grateful to be where I am. Hoping everyone can do something they really enjoy in life.

I took a victory lap on Google in the past week. Everyone has some losers, those are never fun. So it's important to celebrate the wins, especially if they're pretty big wins. Now it's time to get back to work and find the best opportunities to buy given the market we're in.
