Welcome To The Long Wealth Newsletter (August 15th). (est. 4 min read)
In today’s newsletter we will go over:
Quality > Quantity
How to make consistent gains in this market
And much, much, more..
Actionable Tip Of The Day
When it comes to investing its better to pick one quality investment > dozens of okay trades.
Let me give you an example:
Let's compare two scenarios: one with a single quality investment and another with multiple trades.
Scenario 1: Single Quality Investment
Meet Sarah:
Invests $10,000 in a undervalued company
Holds for 1 month
Gets a return of 8%
Result after 1 month.
Investment value: $21,445
Net profit: $11,256
Scenario 2: Multiple Trades
Meet Tom:
Starts with $10,000
Makes 20 trades per month.
Average month: 8% (before fees)
Trading fee: $5 per trade
Result after 10 years:
Investment value: $20,034
Total fees paid: $2,000 (trading) + $500 (account fees) = $2,500
Net profit: $7,534
That also doesn’t count if he loses trades.
Overall, picking one investment to do every month is better than multiple trades every month.

Deep Dive
When I first started out trading, I used to find a way to trade everyday because that’s what I thought was going to allow me to make more money.
Like think about, the more I do, the more I can make.
But little did I know, that’s the completely wrong approach when it comes to the stock market.
Because the more trades I took, the more risk I put myself at losing money.
I found out that most of the time my one quality investment would outperform me making 30 trades every month.
And it took less time and had less stress involved as well.
So when it doubt, go with quality over quantity. It’s essentially the 80/20 rule.
20% of your actions will get 80% of the results.
In investing, it implies that a small number of key decisions (like choosing one great stock) can have a larger impact than many small decisions (like frequent trading).
