“Price is what you pay, value is what you get” If you like my approach to investing, consider purchasing my stock investing book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C15JXW5QHere is my advice:1. Save 10% of what you make, no matter how insignificant it may be. As a young engineer, I saved 10% of my income, whether it was $10 or $1,000. Paying is the best advice you can give anyone. I recommend the book “The richest man in Babylon”, it’s a bit repetitive but fun and makes sense.2. Invest in your competitive advantage. If you’re an oil veteran, you should be investing in E&P companies, not biotech start-ups. If you want to diversify, pay someone to advise you in other sectors or buy ETFs with the right exposure. As for me, I graduated very young and worked in transportation and consumer as an engineer. Post-MBA I worked for one of the largest hedge funds covering sectors such as natural resources (including oil and gas), TMT, consumer, industrial and transport. After that, I was a CFO for leading Fortune 500 companies in the consumer and TMT sectors. So you will never see me investing in finance, education or healthcare. I get exposure to those sectors through ETFs and professionals I trust.3. Don’t trade, rather invest. Once I left the hedge fund world, I started an asset management firm for family, friends and HNWIs. I have been able to manage this fund while having extremely demanding roles, investing for the long term. When I buy a company, I only sell if my investment thesis is no longer valid. Thus, I would only dedicate my Saturdays to reviewing my portfolio and exploring new opportunities. 4. Do what you love, not what makes the most money. You might be leaving money on the table in the short term, but you’ll be happier in the long run, even if you make less money overall. In my spare time I enjoy reading, rowing and enjoying life.
