Building wealth through investing India ๐ฎ๐ณ | US ๐บ๐ธ | Canada ๐จ๐ฆ

I landed in Canada in 2019 and opened my TFSA in January 2021.
There was no secret formula. Just consistent contributions every year, patience, and letting compounding do its job.
Over time, I gradually shifted my portfolio, and during the last two years it became heavily focused on the AI theme. By December 31, 2025, my TFSA had grown to $93,532 from total contributions of $44,604, delivering a +148.67% lifetime return.
At the start of 2026, I set myself a personal challenge: grow the portfolio by another 100% from the December 2025 level.
May isnโt even over yet, and the portfolio is already up 48% year-to-date, reaching $128,322.
The journey has reinforced a few lessons for me:
โข Start early, even if the amount is small.
โข Stay consistent with contributions.
โข Let compounding work over years, not months.
โข Concentrated themes can create outsized returns but they also require conviction and risk tolerance.
โข Long-term investing is a marathon, not a sprint.
The challenge continues. Letโs see where the rest of 2026 takes me.

@antibearthesis When you have a stock-market manipulator of the highest order running the country, all your logic goes out the window. Suddenly, money is pouring into crypto. Just when people stopped caring about tariffs, Iran, and โdeals,โ another rabbit gets pulled out of the hat.

@DividendGrowth If youโre 40+ and a little less than fit, get a thorough liver check not just bloodwork, but an ultrasound. Youโll thank yourself for quitting alcohol. Fatty liver is a pandemic now.
This Independence Day ๐ฎ๐ณ, I asked, "What will the next century of young Indians look like?"
$0.01 Drone Deliveries. UAVs that never land. Groceries in under 10 minutes.
Meet The 22nd Century Indian. A Documentary on a New India.
Imagine, I sold TDPS way back before it became a rage, only to buy it back at much higher prices about a year ago. Same story with CUPID. Sold too early, and made only a tiny re-entry a year ago when I started building my India portfolio.
Looking back, I missed some massive, potentially 100x opportunities. ๐ And I have several similar stories in my US portfolio too!
Hindsight is brutal in investing. ๐
Another day, another vertical lift.
Despite several blunders and losing money along the way, my portfolio is somehow at an all-time high.
This has to be the most forgiving market Iโve seen in my two decades of investing! ๐
Made mistakes, learned some expensive lessons, and the market still gave me a chance to recover. Sometimes, surviving your own mistakes is half the battle!
During the recent drawdown, I went neck-deep into margin and, to make matters worse, loaded up on leveraged ETFs. Thankfully, it worked out this time. The last two days have been great for deleveraging. I still have a small margin loan left, but honestly, the whole ride was gut-wrenching!
