What a rewarding weekend of research and reflection. Here are three simple takeaways from my latest project on systematic investing: - Consistency is King: You don’t need to be a genius to build wealth. Regularly investing a fixed amount—known as dollar-cost averaging—really does work wonders over time. - Balance is Best: The most satisfying portfolios blended “exciting” growth stocks (like AI tech) with “steady” reliable ones (like quality banks). You can pursue growth without the extreme stress. - Optimism Pays Off: Despite all the market crashes and scary headlines over the past two decades, staying invested and sticking to the plan was the winning move. Of course, even with these insights, we’re all human, and we’ll still make mistakes. And that’s okay. This was a fun project that brought together data science, finance, and (of course) accounting 😉. It’s a great reminder that in investing, patience and a simple, disciplined plan are your best allies. I’ll be sharing the full documentation and code in a separate post. Kia kaha~ --- The full video is 7 minutes long. If that might bore you, I have a 1-minute short video as an alternative. Thank you for your support. 🫡 Cheers, Yuqian (Michael) Zhang #DataScience #Investing #Python #Finance #AI #WealthManagement #ResearchPathway
