My Opinion Does Not Matter
Put yourself in my shoes.
I have over 600,000 followers. My entire presence online is about teaching people how to invest — not telling them what to invest in.
Yes, I occasionally share what’s in my portfolio. But not because I want anyone to copy me. It’s to make a point — that I’m diversified, I manage risk carefully, and I only invest in things I’ve researched extensively using fundamental analysis. When I say, “Here’s what I’ve been buying,” it’s usually in the context of market chaos or scary headlines.
The message I want to send is simple: no matter what’s going on, I keep investing.
But people hear what they want to hear. They’ll see I bought a stock and take it as a green light. I get DMs like, “Thanks for the tip, I bought some too!” I hate that. But I get it.
What most people miss is this: when I say I invested in something, it’s often a tiny starter position. Or it’s high risk and I’ve put in an amount I’m totally fine losing. But all they hear is: “He invested in it.”
Let me be very clear: My opinion does not matter.
I get 100+ comments or DMs every week asking for my thoughts on this stock or that ETF. And every time, it’s the same thing: they don’t want my thoughts — they want validation. If I say I like it, they assume it’s a recommendation. If I say I don’t, and it moons later, they’re mad at me.
Technically, I’m not allowed to give financial advice. But people think asking for my “opinion” is a loophole. It’s not. It’s a grey area I want to avoid.
So instead of asking what I think, here’s what I recommend:
Use my fundamental analysis template (linked in the menu on my site).
Check out Stock Target Advisor — I even have a discount code for it.
Read the analyst reports in your brokerage account.
Do the work. Learn how to think, not just what to think.
Because if you just copy me? You learn nothing.
And again, for the people in the back:
It. Doesn’t. Matter. What. I. Think.
