My articles are written with a mind to owning a stock for years, not trying to predict price movements in a few months. I don’t do target prices; I do valuations.I first entered investing in 2020 as an individual value investor, keen to understand the fundamentals of businesses and buy their shares at attractive prices. From May 2022 to May 2023, I worked as an investment advisory representative at Fidelity Investments. I am now self-employed through other ventures.Part of my technique is to write an article as though it is a letter to my future self. I look at it as a chance for my ideas to improve and grow as I follow each company. As such, I tend to start from a place of caution. I used to write many Sell pieces. As of March 2024, I stopped doing that, and I simplified my approach to “Buy or Don’t Buy.” Many of my articles will either be Buy or Hold going forward. I have yet to issue a Strong Buy rating to any security.
