ABOUT ME

I am a 28-year-old consultant with a genuine interest in finance, stocks, and economy. 
Due to a high paying job, I have the chance to save a great deal of money each month which I invest primarily in Nordic and US stocks. 

 My interest in the financial market arose already in my early years when my older brother explained how his work at a financial institute led him to secure an early pension and live out the rest of his life as he may choose. The first stock I ever bought was Swedish Match and kept it for several years before choosing to sell it with great profit. 

 Unlike many other people today, I don't save money to retire early. My main purpose for saving is to live my life with some security and gain additional sources of income through dividends or other means. 

 The reason why I choose to write in English is that it has and still remains my preferred written language. However, it doesn't mean that my visitors can't reply to my posts in Swedish. 

 Short about me:

Age: 28 years
Live: Sweden
Education: Academic degree
Work: Consulting

ALL IN ON PAYDAY OR TO BUY THROUGHOUT THE MONTH?

Bild
I know... you will probably tell me that buying on the dip is not a long-term strategy and buy frequently or monthly has proven to give the highest return on investment. However, as the market went negative, and all my stocks were in the red, I couldn't help to wish that I had some money left to fill my portfolio with even more shares from the companies I already own. I have always been investing all my savings the very next day my salary lands into my bank account as my impatience takes over. To ensure that I do not end up in the same situation again, I have decided to adopt a new buying strategy which is to buy stocks regularly over the course of the month instead of buying everything  on payday. This approach ensures that I have the chance to buy shares at a lower price if the opportunity presents itself such as today. However do not mistake me, I am not trying to time the market, I will also buy when the market goes up. What is your buying strategy?

KINNEVIK

Kinnevik occupies approximately 20% of my total portfolio value. This is not a fluke! The reason why Kinnevik is my most significant asset is that I believe the company is exceptionally well managed and has an excellent long-term strategy which has revealed itself to be beneficial for their shareholders including myself. Kinnevik most substantial assets comprise of Millicom and Zalando which together constitute almost half of their NAV. Two companies which have during 2017 seen a positive overall growth rate even though Millicom didn't have it easy. Millicom Millicom International Cellular SA for people who don't know is an international telecommunications and media company.

THE BLOG IS LIVE!

It's time; the blog is now online. After a lot of inspiration by many people on Twitter, I decided to follow the herd and begin to share my experience regarding my investments, savings and other financial related matters. I'm 28-years old and I have lived for several years a life where savings was just a mean to cover unforeseeable costs and did not see it as capital that could be invested and generate returns. The problem wasn't that I didn't want to invest my money in the stock market, it was a lack of comprehension and motivation that led me to stay away from something I did not feel familiar with. Now, however, times have changed. My interest in stocks everything it entails has skyrocketed, and every month I save money to invest in companies I truly believe in. During the beginning of 2017, I began to invest more considerable amounts into different stocks and mutual funds, trying to find a strategy which suited my risk appetite. I did a lot of beginners mistak
