Story

After reading Naval Ravikant's quote, "You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity—a piece of a business—to gain your financial freedom," I got really excited and started thinking about opportunities where I could own a piece of a business to make money. At first, I thought I would create my own business, like a mobile app that could scale and generate income while I slept. Foolishly, I didn’t consider the potential of these ideas and spent a few months working on something nobody needed. This experience taught me that I need to understand markets and opportunities before even thinking about an idea. Coincidentally, around the same time, I came across Peter Lynch’s book One Up on Wall Street, and I started connecting the dots. The more I learned about public companies, the better I became at identifying business ideas with strong potential. The more I thought about these ideas, the better I got at spotting business opportunities that public companies could use, allowing me to be among the first to identify stock opportunities.

Stumbling upon this continuous cycle—where studying the investment market helps me come up with good business ideas, and those business ideas lead me to investment opportunities—made me realize that there are huge opportunities out there, waiting to be seized. These opportunities are often hiding in plain sight and just need a bit of careful observation. In this blog, we’ll work together to uncover them by understanding trends, reading financial reports, analyzing behaviors, and, most importantly, thinking critically about risk.
