Early in 2023, I decided to do stock picking for the first time. I thought 3 stocks were underrated - Intel, amd and meta.

But the responsible investor that I was, I put in no more than a few thousand in each.

On one hand, I'm really glad to see how well that panned out. On the other hand, really kicking myself for not having more confidence in my own intuitions.

Big percent on a low base feels like a pyrric victory.




You made the best decision you could at the time, and the outcome was a best-case scenario! That's a real victory.


Thanks, I know it doesn't sound like much, but your affirmation makes me feel better.

I have rebalanced my internal priors to be more heavily weighted on my intuition than the 'market vibes'. Let's see how 2024 pans out.


What's your intuition for 2024?
