Who put a % of every paycheck into
Home Depot stocks $HD
ME: Home Depot? Thatβs boring
She smiled slyly, but gave me a look that said
You wonβt understand so Iβm not going to explain it to you

(1) Over the years I tracked $HD
If she kept those stocks until today
Her return in 10 yrs would be 823% or 25% per yr
(not incl dividends)

(2) So instead of putting all my $ into index funds
I started putting a small % of $ into stocks around 2011
Today, my portfolio has grown to over $560K+

(4) How do you find multi baggers?
Here are the top 20 stocks of the past decade
Not a lot of household names
But you probably could have picked 1 or 2 from this list
$NFLX
$ALGN
$ULTA
$AMZN
$ROSS
$MA

(5) Not familiar with those?
Then what about this list of winners?
$AAPL $CRM $V $ADBE $SBUX
$NKE $COST $MSFT $DIS $GOOGL
I bet you could have easily picked 5 of these
Looking at some of the products you buy
Or the companies you love

(6) But what if the stock goes down?
How do you hold through those?
You utilize a Portfolio Strategy
Similar to an Index Fund, but instead of picking 500 S&P stocks
You pick a basket of 10-15 of the best stocks

(7) You'd invest similar to an Index Fund ->
Same amount allocated into each stock each time
(Iβd bet this feature will be available at a few brokerages next yr if not sooner)
If you pick 2 or 3 multi baggers, a few stocks could do poorly
And youβd still be fine

(8)Letβs use the Home Depot example
In this example, you invested in 3 multi baggers ($HD like stocks)
You invested in 4 average stocks
And 3 duds --> 1 even loses 90% of its value
Youβd still end up with a ~15% return over 10 yrs
Not badβ¦

(9) 15% is only a bit more than market avg, why waste my time?
Well, itβs the diff between being comfortable to being rich
A decent retirement vs. set for life
Say there are 3 people all at age 30.
They have decided to save $1,000 a month.
Where would they be at age 65?

The Saver (2%): $607,548
The Index Investor (10%): $3,796,638
The Index Crusher (15%): $14,677,180
The difference is an additional $11 million dollars

(11) So.. you may still want to put your money into index funds
Thatβs fine - people have different investing styles and risk tolerances
BUT if I have convinced you just a bit ..
Start putting a small % of $ into stocks
Pick a couple of products / businesses you love
