(PS I just discovered this territory exists!)
Welcome!!! Actually i do! I am thinking about buying shares in Skanska. A Swedish construction company that I follow. They pay a small dividend and they don’t grow much so I might lose in real terms but I just like the business and how they operate and work on really cool construction projects. So it would be more of an emotional purchase than a true investment purchase
I'd have to do some research on them but I'm a big fan of investing in stuff you either use all of the time or want to support... (I have a small bag of chipotle for this reason haha)
Me too!! Besides the few experiments I am running I try to invest in companies that fit my world view and that I can hang on to for forever.
I've been paying for ChatGPT forever now and it never occurred to me to buy NVDA 🤦
Actually it did occur to me but they had these really smart sounding idiots on CNBC (Aswath Damodaran) saying it was overvalued at 300.. 400.. 500... etc that kept me out 😢
Yeah Jermey kept me away from Block (square) when it was really cheap! So I know how outside influences can impact your thoughts on a business
Been using Grok pretty frequently to give me superficial understanding of stocks I don't know... what do you think about this analysis of Skanska? Pretty amazing how much work it does in the background using the Deep Search feature to come up with its answers:

Not bad at all. I use an app called simply wall st that allows me to get this data quickly. With more in-depth analysis
Connected it to my brokerage account… look how well i’m doing gambling vs just investing in S&P 😂 🤦♂️
Hahaha
Thanks. Is it free? Does it provide option of customisation?
Looks like they freemium up to $20/m plans...

I see it now. Looks like they only have yearly plans for India for around $200.
I guess the free version can be sufficient for me.
Yeah downloading now pretty good reviews... see if it works for tracking 10 or more stocks of interest... given what i'm yolo gambling might be worth paying premium...
