HAS Reddit Mentions | ChartExchange

Obviously, since I'm just posting this here -- I lay no claim to be an Oracle (of Omaha or otherwise). If I were? I'd be sipping cocktails on a beach.
Other folks can and will point you to more more -- perfectly and I agree, correct - order of operations, so I'll just note two precursors:
1) **DO** do your homework on tax-advantaged accounts. No Exceptions. The only people who don't need to care aren't reading Reddit. Before you "invest" - if your circumstance allows, consider your ESP/401k/IRA options.
2) **The best and easiest way** \- and most long-term, safest advantageous way - is still simple ETFs. Over the long haul - spanning decades? It's gonna win, you'll end up happy, and -- let me emphasize, *especially nowadays - it so, so easy*. Even once you expand beyond tax-advantaged accounts? There's no real reason you need to create a new path.
**But** \- for me? And maybe for you as a beginning investor? There's a ton of brute force advice: Learn how to read a 10-Q/10-K, which you can get freely from Edgar/ [https://www.sec.gov/search-filings](https://www.sec.gov/search-filings) Understand all the little metrics *any* trading platform makes readily available -- P/E or fwdP/E... Debt ratios. Sector comparisons. Obviously, you can begin to see why people make a LOT of money to run funds!
I'm just a simple retail investor with a few bucks beyond my 401k/IRA to toss "at the market"! I'm *woefully* over-simplistic. I love looking at charts, but I'm not a "charts guy". I've *learned* to grasp sectors and understand how cyclical they can be - but I'm **investor** not a **trader**.
***However*** \- if/when you're going to nibble into "investing", where investing means "I'm going to start buying individual stocks"?

My advice is to go slow and track/keep yourself honest. The best advice I ever got? "Keep a table of why you bought X". I've expanded over time -- now, I like to capture to things like 52 wk hi/lo/avg in my ever-growing XLS -- but my basic table is below.
Sure, ***every*** trading platform now would allow to create such a thing -- but I like to keep it separate. It forces me to record both data and thoughts. And then I can review. And LEARN.
And *LEARN* is a never-ending path, that is multi-factored:
\- I learn what kind of investor I truly am. I say I'm a buy-and-hold guy, but how patient am I?
\- I learn what sectors I do well in, and which ones I don't
\- I learn what "tips" or interest piques I should ignore
\- I learn - not to the exacting, fund-manager level - but more generally - how all the many many (many) factors bake into a stock price.
My core 6 column table is below -- I've expand to 15 now! - but these are still the basic elements I learn from....
|Stock|Date/Price|Why I Bought it|What my Expectations Are|Sources (links to whatever piqued my interest)|Lessons Learned|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|CVS|1/17/2022 - 79.21|I like the play into RX more generally over brick and mortar. Might be a growth move. They're already beating the Walgreens/etc competition|Via consolidation and other factors - this seems like there might be an add-on if CVS successfully expands. Maybe 90-100? Spend some time on the sector math|[https://s206.q4cdn.com/752775519/files/doc\_financials/2021/ar/CVS2021\_Annual-Report.pdf](https://s206.q4cdn.com/752775519/files/doc_financials/2021/ar/CVS2021_Annual-Report.pdf)|Not so easy as hoped. |
|INTC |2/28/2025 - $25.48|Somebody is gonna buy it. By pure math - never mind any premium - it's worth more than that.|No idea on price, but it's big enough that a buy-out/merger almost HAS to be 30 or higher?!?!|[https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/18/intel-nvidia-investment.html](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/18/intel-nvidia-investment.html)|Don't count on buyouts. But damn, chips are still super-valuable|
|NVDA|4/30/2020 - $7.40|NVDA is outpacing competition and everybody will need a GFX soon|Overperform the competition in a growing market. $15 or so within a year seems reasonable|N/A|High-powered/gfx chips are more than just gaming!|
|CENX|10/24/2022 - $6.42|Politics agnostic - CENX seems like they're investing in nexten production and the climate is rewarding US/on-shore production|Feels like $20 is reasonable. Monitor politics - but more importantly, sweat the 10-Q/10-Ks|[https://www.projectfinance.law/tax-equity-news/inflation-reduction-act-of-2022-new-tax-credits-for-manufacturers-of-clean-energy-equipment](https://www.projectfinance.law/tax-equity-news/inflation-reduction-act-of-2022-new-tax-credits-for-manufacturers-of-clean-energy-equipment)|Materials are VERY sensitive to prevailing global market conditions|
|OXY|3/28/2022 - $56.84|Should I "template" against geniuses? Warren Buffett loves OXY under 60, it seems...|No idea - energy/oil stocks are tightly aligned to commodity pricing, but I'll trust Warren to pick an "out-perform"|[https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/17/warren-buffett-scoops-up-another-1-billion-in-occidental-shares-bringing-total-stake-to-7-billion.htm](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/17/warren-buffett-scoops-up-another-1-billion-in-occidental-shares-bringing-total-stake-to-7-billion.htm)|D'oh. Don't cheat off someone else. Do your own homework. Warren/BSH have different timelines and thoughts.... UGH. DON'T CHASE! ANYONE!|
