Let's say in 2024, you want to make your portfolio the best you have ever had and reduce stress and anxiety over your investments.
How do you go about it?
Common portfolio management advice includes diversification, rebalancing, and things of that sort. You've probably heard of them too many times. I want to go through the steps no one talks about. For example, how do you figure out how many stocks you should own in your portfolio?
These steps are based on what I have learned in two decades of investing in the stock market and studying the best investors, such as Warren Buffett, the late Charlie Munger, Howard Marks, and Peter Lynch. They can truly level up your portfolio in 2024. In today's episode, I introduce you to three steps to level up your portfolio in 2024.
Let's talk about them!

Uber’s Financial 180: The Astonishing Fundamental Shift! 💸🔄
Saturday Dec 16, 2023
Saturday Dec 16, 2023
Only a few years ago, Uber was losing a couple of billion dollars each year, had billions of dollars in debt, and needed an actual path to profitability. I thought Uber was going bankrupt.
But things have changed! DRASTICALLY!
Uber is profitable and generated almost one billion dollars in free cash flow in a quarter. The company is also expected to join the S&P 500 index on December 18th, 2023, and things are looking GOOD on the financial statements.
In today's episode, I dig into what has changed inside Uber's financial statements and discuss whether Uber is a buy now.

Breaking Down Affirm’s 100% Stock Price Jump in 30 Days
Saturday Dec 09, 2023
Saturday Dec 09, 2023
Have you looked at Affirm's stock price chart in the last few days? Thirty days ago, it was $20 per share. Now, it is $42, 102% higher.
Despite the stock price doubling after its earnings report, the average analysts' price target is 50% lower than its current price.
Who is right?Â
Is Affirm 100% better fundamentally than where it was 30 days ago, or are the financial analysts right about Affirm and the stock being overvalued?Â
In today's episode, I discuss Affirm's fundamental strengths and risks and whether the stock is a buy now for me.
Let's talk about it!

About this episode:
What do you think is the worst investment mistake you can make in 2024? There is always the common mistake of not investing based on facts, following your fears and the market's excitement, or gambling in the market when you should focus on your long-term goals. Yes, those are all mistakes. But, they are not specific to 2024. One fundamental change in the structure of our economy and capital markets creates a unique opportunity in the market, and according to Howard Marks, co-founder of Oaktree Capital, it is the worst mistake you can make in the market now and the next year.Â

Why does the world's largest economic power and the symbol of democracy often go through this seemingly humiliating shutdown process? And what are the implications for people, our economy, and stock market investors like you and me?

How Did SBF Make People Trust Him?
Saturday Nov 04, 2023
Saturday Nov 04, 2023
Sam Bankman Fried, SBF, founder of now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX and the former golden boy of the crypto industry, was found guilty of seven counts of fraud and conspiracy.
Why am I talking about him?
As investors, companies' leadership quality is one of the most critical qualitative factors we must research. For a few years, SBF painted a picture of a visionary, convincing more than a $1B investment in his company.
He did it because he knew how to get people and investors to trust him.Â
He is not alone in this.Â
Many companies we research have leaders applying SBF's framework. They are not all guilty of fraud, but as investors, we must be aware of such tactics and not fall for those stories.
 In today's episode, I reveal SBF's playbook, so we learn to invest based on facts and less on stories.

------------------
Back in 2020, when the stock market didn't go anywhere but up, Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, decided to become a stock market investor. If you haven't watched his stock-picking shows, I can summarize them for you. He used Scrabble to pick stocks. Really! Not joking!
He then declared himself as the Captain of Wall Street – replacing Warren Buffett. To most of us, it's pretty clear who is the BETTER investor here. But what's the difference between the two men?
Both are businessmen who have made successful companies in their own respective industries. What's the REAL difference between these two?Today, I reveal the most important difference between a Good and a Bad investor. And share three steps you can follow to become a better investor like Buffett and less like Portnoy.

Ep 246: Is PayPal (PYPL) A Dinosaur?
Saturday Oct 07, 2023
Saturday Oct 07, 2023
PayPal's stock price was once soaring at over $300 a share and has now plummeted by a jaw-dropping 80%.Â
Is this the end of the road for PayPal, or could it be a golden investment opportunity in disguise?Â
There is actually a debate going on Wall Street:
Some say PayPal is a financial technology dinosaur, losing its market leadership.Â
Others believe it's a sleeping giant waiting to rise from the ashes.Â
The million-dollar question: Who's got it right?Â
Today, I compare PayPal of 2023 to Apple of 2019 and answer that million-dollar question.
