Investing by process, not prediction. Building toward financial independence in public. eToro: Spetvel

[Marko | Investing & Financial Independence @MarkoMatinlauri]

Finnish dad, full-time job, investing in public on eToro.

23 people copy my portfolio, so every trade I make is visible.

My rules:
- Long-term positions
- All positions unleveraged
- No trading on headlines
- Only money I won't need for years

Busy too? Follow along.

@TheBrilliantBu1 Wow

@jbfinancebull Well said

Hot take: a 3% dividend that grows every year beats an 8% dividend that gets cut.

Yield chasers learn this once. Growth investors skip the lesson and buy no dividends at all.

Team dividend growth ($KO, $PEP), team high yield or team zero dividends?

Earnings confession: I check my stocks before I check the weather.

$AAPL and $PLTR reported last night.

Did your pick move the way you expected, or did the market humble you again?

One word answers only 👇

The 5 stages of a dividend investor:

1. "3% yield? Boring."
2. First dividend hits. Mind blown.
3. Checking ex-dividend dates for fun
4. Explaining $O monthly payouts at family dinner
5. Reinvesting $KO dividends into more $KO

Which stage are you at?

Good morning!

For you stock pickers remember to check you are not acting with confirmation bias.⬇️

Before buying, I write down one reason I could be wrong. Takes two minutes, saves a lot of regret.

[Marko | Investing & Financial Independence @MarkoMatinlauri]

@MatthewSpositi It is indeed, simple and effective

@StackTheoryHQ Dont know. Kids are 5,3 and 3 so we have plenty of time to see where things develop.
