Built From The Bottom

Sharing real investing strategy from the ground up. No hype, no shortcuts—just what’s working.

[Built From The Bottom @BuiltFromBtm]

Built my godson's investing account with just $25/month.

He's under 10. Portfolio is up +124% in 25 months.

YTD: +30.39%

(S&P 500: +6.8%)

No hype. No trading. Just structure, discipline, and time.

Here's how I did it

@ThatboyLazo @grok is this cap? lol

[Built From The Bottom @BuiltFromBtm]

Why is this happening?
$NFLX sold off after solid earnings and is still ~40% below ATH.
This is how I beat the market.

Coffee or soda?

Every trader knows that choice-utility vs. enjoyment.

Coffee fuels discipline. Soda tastes like dopamine.

Today I'm picking utility.

1 tick.

Just missed my TP by one damn tick.

Had to walk away before I revenge traded.

2 years in, and psychology still sneaks up on you

- anger never really goes away.

You just learn to spot it and step back.

$UNH under $300 - teaching my goddaughter how to build wealth the slow, steady way. Her UTMA's been buying quality at a discount, $25

a month.

It's not about timing the market - it's about showing her what real security looks like. #UNH #Investing #UTMA

100% $UNH gainer loading... I was loading up in the 200s - now we're knocking on $400. The money's made buying solid companies when the headlines make everyone panic. #UNH #Investing #Stocks #Finance

[Built From The Bottom @BuiltFromBtm]

Just added more $UNH at $263 across multiple accounts:

Roth IRA

Goddaughter's UTMA

Short-term investment account

This drop is opportunity, not panic. Letting price come to me, sticking to the plan.

ALERT: protect your portfolio.

Big week coming - earnings, possible China deal, markets eyeing all-time highs.

Fear might fade fast... and FOMO will take its place.

Stay disciplined. The rally into year-end always tempts you to chase.

@UpSkillYourLife Hate him or love him, he's right.

Most traders underestimate what they can learn - risk, patience, even psychology.

The edge isn't talent, it's endurance.

@ThatboyLazo Looks like me when I should have sold $XRP at $3

[Built From The Bottom @BuiltFromBtm]

Up 25% since my post buying off the 200 SMA. Cup & handle on the daily. New all-time highs. Simplified investing - but you don't hear me though.

CRWD starter position established. Closing in on a 20% pullback from the recent high and approaching the 200 SMA near the previous all-time high.

Buying for my short-term account - also an amazing spot for a long-term account to buy.

Is it just me?

When everyone in Discord's posting wins, it messes with your head.

You start thinking you're behind - that you're doing something wrong.

Then you remember: you're only seeing the highlights.

Run your own race

@TheLongInvest Now that's investing right there. Beautiful!

[Built From The Bottom @BuiltFromBtm]

All that for nothing.

After that huge drop two weeks ago, we're right back at the top of that same candle.

If you were buying near the bottom, you're sitting pretty.

Now the real question - do we break out here or get smacked back down?

#SP500 #stocks #trading #investing $SPY

[Built From The Bottom @BuiltFromBtm]

Buy at the top? Not for me-or my godson. Picked up more $PLTR for his UTMA today on this dip.

I've seen this stock run before-from the $40s to the $60s in a blink.

He's got time. I've got a plan.

Last chance.

$TSLA earnings after the bell - volatility guaranteed. It's the kind of stock that makes you feel like you're missing out.

I'm holding long. $500 next... and $900's not crazy down the road.

Would you keep pushing?

When everything's against you but trading still calls.

Sloshing through mud - your boots get heavier. Progress feels invisible.

That's compounding: slow, quiet, relentless. The marathon continues.

They almost got me.

$ORCL ripped 40% overnight in September - FOMO was real.

I wanted in bad. Glad I waited.

It's now 20% cheaper, and the fundamentals haven't changed.

Patience pays. Always does.

154% gainer gone.

I was in $NVTS at $7, out at $12. It's over $17 now. That used to sting - watching it run without me. Now it just reminds me: sticking to the plan is the win.

You'll miss some, always. But that's how you last.

They won't let me trade!

Mondays are statistically the worst day to day trade for me

but the charts were calling my name.

Then AWS went down. No charts, no trades... forced discipline.

Thank you, universe.
