I have been both a $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ and $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ shareholder for a few years now...

If we invest solely based on first order impact, we are going to have a rough time as business owners.

There're a lot of moving parts and the truth is these businesses are a lot less fragile than most people think.

Trust me when I say:

• Avoid the news like the plague

• Do not leverage And it will increase the odds of you compounding your wealth
