About me

Dear reader,


Here below I share some basic information about myself. I am a FIRE investment coach. I have been investing myself since 2006. I am a lawyer and an enterprener in my late 30s. I am focused on providing for my family and on building my retirement portfolio.

When did I start investing?

I started investing since 2006 after reading a book written by Robert Kyosaki. I understood that it is important to learn how cashflow works and since then I have always wanted to put my money to work for me. I have also started "paying myself first" by putting some money aside at the beggining of every month. I have also tested the Japanese house wife's saving technique ( KAKEBO) and I have learned that even a person who is heavy in debt with big household expenses can save some money aside.

What did I invest in over time?

I have tried many things such as: 

1. bonds (both Tbonds and as well as corporate bonds) 
2. stocks on the following markets:

  • US,
  • Chinese,
  • Japanese,
  • European (Austria, Australia, Germany, Italy, UK, The Netherlands, Poland )
3. currencies,
4. commodities ( gold, silver, palladium, platinum, CO2 certificates, coffee)
5. ETFs,
6. Investment funds
7. Options,
8. CFDs

I have also done some alternative protfolio investments in the following:

  1.  numismatic and collective coins,
  2.  En Primer wines,
  3. Crypto ( Bitcoin, Etherium and smaller top 100 and top 500 altcoins),
  4.  NFT's.
Over the long period I have had many mistakes and I have leaned from them. I am happy to share my thoughts with you so that you do not do the same mistakes and this way you will prevent from loosing your hard earned money. I am going to do what I can to keep things simple to understand for a 10 year old because investing is not rocket science and it works best when it is made as simple as possible.
The type of investing I reccomend is slow but steady growth and with the proper mindset you will become a millionare even if you set aside small amounts of capital but it might take 10 up to even 30 years.

To those who want to make a million within days or months all I can say is that this blog is not for you. For your information, I have tried x20 leverage CDF and crypto currency futures and more I have lost a lot of my capital and I highly reccoment to not treat investing as gambling.

How to design a portfolio in 3 simple steps: step 1/3

Building strong financial foundations. Before you even start thinking about investing you have to honestly ask yourself a few questions: Why are you investing your money?  What is your current age and till when will you be investing your capital?  What is your risk profile?  How much are you willing to invest initially and what amount will you put into your portfolio? How much time do you have to monitor your portfolio systemstically? Do you have a possibility to earn more or to cut costs and save more?  Why are you investing?  The why is the most important. This is going to help you set a goal. Perhaps you want to: retire early, save some money for your kids education, become rich, secure your family, help your parents retire early, perhaps all of them above. Whatever the goal is the strategy will be different depening on your age. Investing for future retirement when you are in your late 20s or early 40s is completely different to investing in your 60s. If I w...

Rookie investor episode 1

I'd compare my experience with investing a little bit like Benny Hill movies.The end of the movie is always the same: everyone ends up chasing Benny Hill. So I, like probably most beginners, was chasing after: a lot of articles, following exchange rates, checking few times per day the value of the US dollar is worth versus the Japanese Yen or the British Pound. I even started looking at the performance of many investment funds. I was always chasing after what the mass media were saying about stocks and to the forecasts that people should follow. If you are doing that then a friendly piece of advice is..stop doing that and focus on your family and find another hobby. Then one day I managed to opened my first brokerage account. This was my first contact with leverage. It was wonderful playing with five times more money than I had on the brokerage account. The only problem was I had to top up my account 3 days after buying a specific stock. If I didn't have enough cash on my broke...

Rookie investor episode 2

As a fresh investor I didn't really know too many instruments or even stocks that I wanted to put my hard earned money in. What I basically knew was the the blue chip stocks that I have been using such as: Apple Adidas Google Nike Microsoft McDonalds Visa I had no idea about different types of industry so I simply started looking for some help on google. There I got a simple explanation that you can devide the stocks by size: large-cap, mid-cap, snall-cap. I also learned a about growth stocks ( ones that paid no dividends or the dividends were symbolic) and value stocks ( most of them pay dividends that are growing over time). I also got interested in making a quick buck on IPO ( Initial Public Offering) stocks but then I learned that: either there is a limited amount of shares to be offered and the result might be that I might get a small amount of them, or that the stocks are available to anyone but the previous share holders will be dumping their bag of shares on new investors a...
