Actionable Items

Equity research is important for me. I have to learn how to be a value investor. INTC stock research and decision to purchase 500 share of INTC stock did not happen since I was a thinker, but not a risk taker. Even though I understand the risk as a value investor, which is minimum. I could not make gains like $12/ share * 500 share in less than one month. 

I did good research, but I did not take any action. I have some issues with my fear and greedy, and I like to live a life with peace and love, and also work on wealth build as an investor. 

This is my third year from 2019 back to be an investor. I did not invest anything from 2010 to 2019. I act like a baby investor, monkey sometimes.
