Q. For Bubbler - How Did You Knuckle Down on Active Investing?
Hi all -
Question -
u/doublebubbler - In your opinion, what does it take to be an active investor? What are some of your approaches to identifying and sticking with good investments?
Context -
I've been a member of this sub since November and am up £60K in paper gains across ENSI, RDDT, EVTL, LUNR, SESG, MDAI. Thanks DB!!!!
I noticed u/doublebubbler's comment about getting into active investing after leaving the Police, and it resonated with me as I'm considering my next career move. From 2021-2024 I made great money in a business, which has nosedived in the last 2 years (0 revenue atm, for more context see this post in HENRY UK). I'm 29. I have £2M in various stocks and shares (current value, ofc may drop) and am re-assessing the best use of my time, given that successful stewardship of my portfolio could produce substantial growth, or troublesome decline at my own hands.
For those who missed the comment:
Having come all the way from being homeless when I was about eighteen to where I am now, I am over the moon with how my fascination with investing is panning out so far. I just wished I had taken to focusing on active investing earlier in life, as I only really knuckled down with it when I had more time after leaving the Police about ten years ago.
