What’s your go-to investment strategy that has worked best for you? Many of us in finance likely have a solid grasp of investing (some of you might even be experts!) Do you focus on specific instruments or asset classes? I’ve been managing my own portfolio by handpicking individual stocks, but after reviewing last year’s returns, I realized I would have done better simply investing in index ETFs like SPY or QQQ. Has anyone else experienced this? What strategies have you found most effective?

50% ETF, 30% high-value stocks (many of these overlap with the ETF, I just want higher concentrations), 20% FAFO (usually tech or biopharma). This is a much more conservative approach as I’m 46 and much closer to retirement. In my 20s, it was a mix of ETFs, real estate, business investments, and FAFO stocks.

Thanks for the insights! I have never heard of FAFO. Do you manage the portfolio yourself or hire someone like a financial advisor?

Lately, I’ve been leaning more toward index ETFs like SPY and QQQ because they offer solid diversification with less stress. I find dollar-cost averaging helps mitigate risk as well. What kind of stocks were you focusing on?

That’s a great approach! Index ETFs like SPY and QQQ are definitely the easiest way for diversification. I’ve been focusing more on growth stocks in tech and healthcare sectors, How has dollar-cost averaging worked out for you so far?

Have you ever tried Hopia before? Hopia is a Filipino or Indonesian moon cake filled with sweet yellow or black mung bean. My favorite is the yellow. If you haven’t tried it, it’s good!

Hello fishes, I have offers from two different companies and both are offering same amount of CTC - 18LPA (YOE: 3.2) . Company names are Pristyn Care and Xiaomi technology india pvt. ltd .

Looking for valuable suggestions!!!

Anyone interested in a meetup on October 17? Nothing planned yet, but figure it's far enough out that if there's interest we can post up and talk shop. Misfit, Arsenal, Bigfoot West?

Thank you Nadia for your insights. I’m frustrated gaps still exist in the industry; and the diversity & inclusion needle hasn’t move much since Al Sharpton protested on Madison Ave in the 90’s

Your mind is like your news feed.

Negative thoughts on repeat is like hitting the “Like” button on negativity:

“I can’t change.”
“I’m not good enough.”
“This is all I know.”

Negative self talk will produce more negative self talk.

You can retrain your brain to ignore negative thoughts and “Like” positive thoughts that help you. When you do, possibilities and productivity increase.

It takes time to change thought patterns.

A coach will get you there faster.

DM me if you need help.
