I’m documenting my journey to building wealth through investing in stocks and crypto. Starting now
I started investing last year around April when the S & P 500 was down about 10-15% following U.S president Donald Trump imposing tariffs on other countries.
I knew that the market would recover as it always does, and so I made the decision to invest heavily during that time. The market recovered exceptionally fast, recovering its losses by the end of April and setting new all time highs by June that year. Then I just DCA’d until the end of the year. The S&P 500 had finished the year up about 17%.
Bitcoin is finally back at a 50% discount from its all time high. 📉
It’s the only asset I will be purchasing while it is at these prices.
If it falls further I will be thinking about selling more of my other investments to buy more Bitcoin.
I don’t think Bitcoin will EVER be back at these prices.
Sold my COPX position
I’m thinking of holding off buying defensive positions 🛡️ and buying more high risk-high reward assets. 🗡️
With the cash I’ll be buying 💰
1. DTCR
2.NBIS
3.BTC
I don’t believe there will be a drop in the market, at least not a 10-20% drop anytime soon. 📈
Sold off my XLU ⛽️and XLE ⚡️positions because they are not performing as well as they did in the beginning of the year.
Using that cash to buy SCHD and Gold for defensive hedge.
Also using that cash for options trading for higher upside. 📈📊

3. The Margin Of Safety Is Everything
A margin of safety means buying something for less than its intrinsic value.
Example:
• if a company is worth $100 a share
• buying at $60 gives room for mistakes, recessions, bad luck, etc
The lesson:
• you don’t need perfect predictions
• you need protection against being wrong
NBIS is currently trading at $216 much less than what it is worth if it is able to execute on massive AI infrastructure growth.
Several analysts have recently raised price targets on NBIS after strong earnings and continued AI infrastructure momentum.
Price increase average $176 a share -> $234 📊📈

2. Investing≠Speculating
•Investing = buying assets based on value, earnings power, cash flow, and long-term growth
•Speculating = betting on price movement,hype, or momentum
Some people think they’re investing when they’re really speculating
Buying profitable ETFs for 10+ years -> investing
Buying a stock bc X says it will take off next week -> speculation
This is why I was only buying VOO while I was researching for months, even now VOO and a vanguard retirement fund make up over 50% of my portfolio.

1. “Mr. Market” is emotional — you don’t have to be
Benjamin Graham describes the market as a business partner named “Mr. Market” who shows up every day offering to buy or sell stocks at different prices.
Sometimes he’s euphoric. Sometimes he’s depressed.
The lesson:
Market prices move emotionally in the short term
You should use those emotions to your advantage
Don’t let fear or hype control your decisions
This is one of the foundations of value investing.

A theme I am currently researching for investments is Quantum Computing 🖥️
Classical computers use bits
Quantum computers use qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously
Allows certain calculations to potentially become exponentially faster for:
• drug discovery
• materials science
• cryptography
• AI optimization
• logistics/supply chains
• financial modeling
• climate simulations
High risk high reward theme
Most quantum firms:
• generate tiny revenue
• burn cash aggressively
• may not become profitable for years
• rely heavily on future breakthroughs
Still early..
The only singular stock I will be investing in (for now) is NBIS
Nebius Group is a company building AI cloud infrastructure—basically the heavy-duty computing backbone that AI companies need.
Nebius has real, multi-billion dollar contracts with major AI hyperscalers
🔵 Microsoft (biggest contract)
Multi-year AI infrastructure deal worth about $17.4B–$19.4B
Nebius provides dedicated GPU compute capacity from new data centers , Microsoft uses it to scale AI workloads without building all infrastructure itself
🟣 Meta (second major hyperscaler deal)
Estimated $3B–$27B range depending on expansion
Nebius supplies AI data center + GPU capacity for training and inference
Meta also agreed to large reserved capacity commitments over multiple years
🟢 Nvidia → strategic partner and investor (GPU supply + ecosystem alignment)
Bullish, high risk/ high reward 🚀⚠️
Trump is long on Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia ,Broadcom
Nancy Pelosi is long on Broadcom

Glad I bought a bunch of shares of AIQ last year and I just bought more shares of DTCR than I wanted to. I was going to DCA into it but might as well go in heavier now.
