October has been a pretty fucking awesome month for my portfolio.
For
the biggest part of 2014, almost nothing happened. I was a little
disappointed about it because I like to make money and I also like to
think that I’m a good investor. But as nothing happened, I felt like all the juice has been
extracted from the oranges.
But
life is full of surprises. From july 31th to october 31th, my portoflio has
grown by almost 18%. Since the beginning of the year, the growth has
been around 20%, which is very good after the incredible year that 2013
has been (about 50% growth for my portfolio).
So, I’m still good at stealing other's best ideas. And of course, most
of my best investments are due to Jason Donville and his marvelous
approach to investing. Thank you Jason, I don’t fucking know how much of
my wealth is due to you, but it’s a lot. I’ve made a lot of cash lately
with Cipher Pharma and with every thousand dollars that was added to
the value of my shares, I've had a little thought for you and said a little prayer to the god of mercantilism.
I’ve
read books by (or about) Stephen Jarislowsky, Warren Buffet, Peter
Lynch, Joel Greenblatt and some other so-called investing genius, but
nothing has been as good to my investment life as copying what Jason Donville has
recommended as his top picks.
Forget everything society has learned you about honor, intelligence or some other bullshit. In life, what you should do is to copy
the best people and analyze what they do or recommend. You remember the
movie « Catch me if you can » with Leonardo DiCaprio? Until the guy get
caught, he had a lot of success at imitating other people and he had a
much more exciting life than almost all the assholes out there
(including you and me). Same thing with Led
Zeppelin where the fucking guitarist stole a lot of riffs from other
people.
Copy great people is so fucking good. You can become rich by being an excellent stealer. Try to teach that to your children as soon as possible because if they realize this at 45, they’ll have spoiled too many years to take advantage of this great truth about existence.
