Bye Bye 2025

⭐ 2025 Reflection — What the Market Taught Me 2025 started with confidence because of last year’s gains. The first two months were calm, and many expected a correction, but few expected the speed of the decline. The market dropped almost 20% in 30–40 sessions, wiping out most of 2024’s gains. What made the drawdown manageable was the asset allocation, if it tanks 30% will the confidence factor increase to buy the dips and since The earlier selection was  quality and ETF. Deciding factor is raise funds quickly and absorb the dips as much as I can  I added during declines, but the biggest lesson was: Have rules, and follow them exactly. I broke my own rule by buying dips too

Path to $100k
Almost There! $22,000 Short of $100,000 Profit! It's been a wild ride, but I'm incredibly close to hitting a huge milestone: $100,000 in profit! Right now, I'm sitting at $78,000, meaning I'm just $22,000 short of that amazing six-figure mark. Considering how volatile April was, I'm feeling really good about this. I survived the April crash, adapted, and kept pushing forward. It wasn't easy, but staying disciplined and focused paid off. This journey has been a massive learning experience, and I'm more motivated than ever to close this gap. Onwards and upwards! $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  $Microsoft(MSFT)$  $Amazon.com(AMZN)$  <

Revenue Growth, Net Margin Growth, and PE Growth: The Formula for Sustainable Value Creation In the world of investing, numbers tell a story—one that investors must interpret carefully to make informed decisions. While there are countless financial metrics to analyze, three fundamental indicators often stand out: Revenue Growth, Net Margin Growth, and PE (Price-to-Earnings) Growth. When these three elements align, they form the foundation of sustainable value creation, signaling a company’s long-term potential. 1. Revenue Growth: The First Building Block Revenue, or the top line, is the lifeblood of any company. A business that consistently grows its revenue is either expanding its market share, increasing product sales, or enhancing pricing power. However, revenue growth alone is not enou

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ If you didn’t buy Tesla at $160 but saw it rise to $460, the key question now is: What has changed fundamentally? 1. Fundamentals – Have They Changed? • Revenue & Margins: Tesla’s growth has slowed compared to previous years. Margins have been under pressure due to price cuts and rising competition. • Deliveries & Demand: EV demand is softening, and Tesla has faced challenges in meeting previous growth expectations. • FSD & AI: The Full Self-Driving (FSD) narrative is still developing, but regulatory hurdles remain. AI and robotics (Optimus) could be future growth drivers. 2. Market Conditions vs. Sentiment Shift • Earlier, Tesla had the first-mover advantage, but now legacy automakers and new players (BYD, NI

After 13 months of riding high, consistently seeing green across the portfolio, the story took a dramatic twist in February. The first month of 2025 had been challenging, a tough battle with the markets that resulted in a 3% loss. It wasn’t the outcome anyone had hoped for, but it was a stark reminder of the volatile nature of investing. The winds of the market had shifted, and the storm was tough to weather. However, looking at the bigger picture, the story wasn’t one of defeat. Even with that red mark in February, the portfolio was still up 2.77% for the year, and after 14 months of intense ups and downs, it had climbed a staggering 50% overall. The journey had been nothing short of a rollercoaster, but despite the rough patches, the growth was undeniable. The 13-month streak of green fe
$Amazon.com(AMZN)$  The key question is whether its future growth justifies the premium price. AWS continues to be a major profit driver, and as operational efficiencies improve, earnings could catch up, bringing down valuation multiples over time. For long-term investors, the focus should be on Amazon’s dominance and ability to innovate rather than short-term valuation concerns.

Portfolio allocation 1. Equal-Weight Allocation • Method: Each stock (or asset) gets the same weight. • Example: For 7 stocks, each is ~14.3%. • Pros: Simple, avoids over-reliance on one name, naturally forces trimming winners and adding laggards. • Cons: Ignores fundamentals, risk, or market cap size. ⸻ 2. Market-Cap Weighting (Passive Indexing Style) • Method: Allocate by market capitalization, like the S&P 500 does. • Example: Today, NVDA, MSFT, and AAPL dominate; Tesla has smaller weight. • Pros: Reflects “real world” index investing, aligns with institutional benchmarks. • Cons: Concentration risk (Mag 7 already ~30%+ of S&P 500). ⸻ 3. Fundamental Weighting • Method: Allocate by fundamentals such as revenues, earnings, or free cash flow. • Example: Assign weight proportional t
The relationship between Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio and growth is a fundamental concept in valuation and investment analysis. Here’s a structured breakdown based on financial research: 1. Theoretical Relationship Between P/E and Growth • The P/E ratio reflects how much investors are willing to pay per dollar of earnings. • Growth (often measured as earnings growth) impacts P/E because higher growth expectations typically lead to higher valuations. A widely used formula to approximate this relationship is derived from the Gordon Growth Model (Dividend Discount Model for a firm with constant growth):  where: •  = retention ratio (1 - dividend payout ratio), •  = required rate of return (cost of equity), •  = expected growth rate in earnings. This equation suggests that as earnings gro
