30 minutes every day to improve?

Hi guys:

I'm just begining my investment career; I think I'm quite average in technicals and other investing skills. What is something that I can do for 30 minutes every day to improve my skills, outside of work? Asking for 30 minutes/day because I know work will be busy but want to find something I can do to systematically improve.

Thanks!

Pick 5 Companies that you like, invest in them -- and keep up with what they do. As time goes by, keep putting money into them, but start paying attention to why you are making those choices.

  • Should you prioritize company A in the next few months? If so, why? do they have a better strategy than the rest?

  • You see that Company B is generating a lot of cash; why is that? How can you use that to your portfolio's advantage? May that eventually translate into juicier dividend yields that you can use to reinvest in the rest of your portfolio?

Having skin in the game gives you a reason to start paying attention to details with regards to the fundamentals of a business. From there, you'll have a good enough reason into things like their quarterly reports, and following news that can/do affect those businesses. In no time, you'll be very well spoken and have a much more interesting approach when it comes to technicals and investing overall.
