I spent a huge part of my teens studying how to turn my financial situation around and it could be summarized into: get a decent paying job, underspend your income, and own equities.
But I never actually thought about this—what is my rich life?
And here’s the thing, many folks don’t. 
Even after attaining considerable wealth, they’re still trapped in their earlier years, spending their life on a spreadsheet, hours comparing prices, and not splurging on little items that bring them joy.

The market is efficient in pricing a business most of the time. However, it is horrendous at pricing the optionality of a business. 4 types of optionality that could be hidden in a business:
* Product Expansion
* New Businesses
* Strategic Pivot
* Expand Internationally

Hi everyone!
Had a good time hiking this week to recharge and reflect on life and investing.
And... I ran into a family of otters! 🦦
Alright! This week I want to talk about long-term investing.
What it means and how do we hunt for life-changing investments.👇👇
I. The Forever Portfolio
Many speak of long-term investing, but few understand it's more than our holding period. It's the quest of looking for companies that are able to take over the responsibility of compounding our wealth for us. Check out my latest post on the 3 rules to follow for growing our wealth (audio format available above).
II. Kevin Kelly’s Unsolicited Advice
Every birthday, Kevin Kelly would offer bits of advice on his blog.
And they are great advice!
I considered writing a version of my own, but perhaps next year.
III. Valuation: P/E Multiple, what does it mean?
The P/E multiple is perhaps one of the most used but also the most misunderstood metric.
Check out my most read article and two white papers on this subject.
