I will upskill myself in what is important and focus on what matters in my main job. The gig and main job aren’t the core — the what is important. Right now, the what is AI. If your skills and job are connected to AI, they complement A (gig) and B (main), while C becomes your transferable skill. In stocks, that means choosing companies with strong AI tech.
From a trader’s perspective, it’s the same principle: the what is looking at fundamentals for long-term investing, the value is building skills (like AI) that keep paying off, and the time is knowing when to act — because investing in the right thing at the right time compounds both in career and portfolio.
Tech and AI can now be applied in almost everything — the key is reapplying it in a way that’s meaningful to you. Try using AI logic daily, in both work and investing.[Eye][Call]
In Investing, Would You Rather Build Skills or Take the Easy Route?
Recently, a programmer in Singapore shared his experience online after calling an electrician. The repair took just 40 minutes but cost him S$300, which translates to S$450 per hour. But look closer, high hourly pay ≠ high income.
From an investing perspective, this looks a lot like high-volatility assets.
Would you choose:
A. To upskill yourself and take on side gigs?
In investing: sharpen stock-picking ability to capture high-return stocks.
B. To stick with your main job and easy way to get stable income?
In investing: add high-dividend stocks, and reinvest dividends.
