Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. You don’t need to set the world on fire with your first try. You just need to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to produce something.
There are no artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, or scientists who became great by half-finishing their work. Stop debating what you should make and just make something.
For the last 2 months it has been all about Claude. Today I asked ChatGPT to develop a novel stock ranking system... and it genuinely surprised me.
I uploaded a couple of files so it could learn the syntax. Then I asked it to search for something novel in an overcrowded space. This is what it suggested and then it gave me the exact xml code to use.
--Core idea: Find companies improving faster than the market expects
--Edge: Earnings revisions + growth acceleration (before analysts fully catch up)
--Smart value: Focus on cash flow (FCF/EV, forward earnings yield), not cheap junk
--Quality filter: Strong profitability + efficient use of capital
--Momentum (done right): Industry-relative, not crowded price chasing
--Stability layer: Favor consistent businesses with improving margins
Avoids: Classic value traps + noisy, overfit factors
The system was to be for the S&P 500. And it worked okay there. But when I moved it into a semi-liquid microcap space it really started to pop.
I might have to start giving ChatGPT a little more attention. Hmmm....
I sent this to my 18-year old daughter this morning.
Your words become your thoughts
Your thoughts become your actions
