Listen to Hedge Fund Tips with Tom Hayes. I love the way he analyzes the market and how detailed his thought process is. Worth the listen.
IDXX
VTI
Names I’m looking at: RBLX, AMAT, AMSL, ADSK,INTU
Style: GARP (Growth at a reasonable price)
Holding time period of 6 months - 2 years although would ideally like to hold forever if I can.
Target IRR: 15%
My advice would be to focus on a concentrated portfolio of industries/sectors you know really well then diversify if your focusing on wealth appreciation.
Nice target IRR you got there bro. I got +20% on my crypto portfolio in 2 weeks.
Nice however on a risk adjusted basis over a multi year horizon, crypto returns are no where near 20% as you hopefully know
