Gaining New Knowledge

Aloha Investors!


I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. The stock market has been having a really good run. I believe the Dow and S&P hit their new highs recently which is a good sign. I have been watching all the AI stocks recently and if you have been around the stock market for a long time, you will know that the hyped up stocks will always have big swings. I will keep repeating myself to every investor, “If you believe in the stock then keep on buying when it goes down, do not sell.” In the long run you will make more money then following the sellers. I have always believed in holding a stock if I believe it will be there 30 years down the line. This is one of the things that Warren Buffet taught me when picking a stock. 


If you take a look at someone’s day-to-day living, you will notice what they wear, buy, and use. This will give you a great deal of knowledge on what the trend is and what companies make the most money. Any of the Magnificent Seven stocks will be a good investment because every person uses one of these companies throughout their day.


This post will be my last one until I return from my vacation. I will hopefully be able to buy stocks and post a blog on 4/26. Until then keep on saving and investing to achieve that financial freedom.
