These organizations don't want me to be rich and successful.  "A/X Growth Investments" has always been in the idea stage, and it will stay there. I have music to make. _________ 01/02/2025 A/X Growth had a good year! I continue to outperform the market on a regular basis. I am just disappointed that I am not working in the investment management space, but I will post some content on YouTube.  I am not sure when I can make "A/X Grow...

Updated: December 18, 2020 by Roy Philipose What could have been... I want to share my investing history with you. I want to show you why "investing" is better than "trading." I see so many young investors trading today. I know because I was one 20 years ago.  I have been investing since 1997 when I bought my first shares of Cisco stock. I remember that day - I bought 100 shares of Cisco at $54; then the next day, sold at it $56 for a 2 point profit. (Cisco reported better than expected earnings.) I thought this was cool. I kept doing this for a long time, over many years - buying/selling shares and eventually, trading options. I thought I was an investor, but in reality, I was simply a trader. My gross trading profits were ~ $300K over a total 23 year period. I remember all of the significant companies I held. These were the shares that I was supposed to HOLD, and not trade. Eventually, my years of on and off trading resulted in me being wiped out twice.  Somet...

I attended the SolarCity 2014 Annual Meeting on June 4, 2014. The CEO, Lyndon Rive, gave a presentation about the company and how the company is experiencing strong growth. He also stated the market share for the company was small compared to the opportunity. I asked the CEO 2 questions: 1) About Shareholder Lawsuits. An attorney came up and said, "There was one actual lawsuit against the company. Even though it looked like there were many, but only one. And they would be fighting the lawsuit vigorously, as the lawsuit has no merit." 2) About Shareholder Buyback. The CEO stated that, "They have no intention of a buyback. That basically the company is experiencing such strong growth, that they would get better returns on growing the company." At first I didn't understand that. I mentioned how the stock price is down. But the CEO, Mr. Rive stated, "We are better off using capital to grow the business because of our high growth rates." Late...

(This was supposed to be my 2nd article attempt on Seeking Alpha, but was rejected. Why read the same kind of articles, over and over again?) Today, I would like to talk about those who shorted Tesla Motors and SolarCity. Here is some background on the companies. As you know, Tesla Motors makes premium electric cars and SolarCity is a solar electric supplier. Elon Musk is a major shareholder of both companies, with Musk being Ceo/Chairman of Tesla and Chairman of Solarcity. Tesla went public at $17 in June 2010 and Solarcity went public at $8 in Dec 2012. Both companies at the time were considered to be overvalued and thought to be future failures, especially Tesla. So naturally short-sellers (investors who bet against the stock) bought in short. There were of course people who believed in what there were doing and bought in long (myself included, though I bought in at later prices and traded the stocks). The companies went public, continued to progress (with some problem...
