Hey everyone,
My name is Aarsh Kak and started this site to document my journey as I learn and invest. Ever since middle school, I’ve been exploring the stock market, using my personal portfolio as a way to learn through experience. I began by reading Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor, which introduced me to the concept of value investing. While it wasn’t the easiest book for a seventh grader, the ideas behind evaluating the intrinsic value of a company resonated with me. I began investing real money using the concepts I understood from the book, along with the help of Investopedia. I entered the market with an overconfident zeal of a middle schooler which was reinforced by a portfolio of a couple of stocks that beat the market.
Now, after graduating high school, I am starting to realize how much there is to learn. As many have said, investing is more art than science, and I’m hoping to acquire a multitude of techniques and tools to try to turn my personal portfolio into a masterpiece. I decided to broadcast my learning process to anyone it may interest, and hope to receive as much advice and feedback as possible.
I plan to post my thoughts and new concepts I learn on a weekly basis.
