Every Saturday, I answer questions from readers.

These Q&A emails are meant to slow things down and cut through the noise.

They focus on real investing questions, practical decision-making, and how to think about opportunities in markets that are rarely simple.

If you’ve emailed recently, there’s a good chance your question is addressed below.

Let’s get to it.

In a recent email you state: “I keep a short list of high-quality companies that I follow very closely so I understand their businesses, risks, and long-term potential inside and out. That way, when the market hands me an opportunity I’m ready to act without hesitation.” Would you mind sharing this list so followers can also be ready when there's a market pullback? – Paul

Great question, Paul.

I don’t publish a static “buy list” because context always matters – valuations change, narratives shift, and timing is everything.

With that said, the core names I’m following most closely right now are Nvidia, Meta, Uber, and Rocket Lab.

These are businesses I know well and track continuously. So when sentiment-driven pullbacks happen, I’m ready to act.

What’s your time frame for completion of the Mission? Is this a 1 year strategy or a 10 year one? – Jana

My goal is to 10X my money within the next year or two. This is completely dependent on financial conditions and opportunities.

Yes, this is certainly an ambitious goal but I’ve done this before and I’ve got a high tolerance for risk which makes me the perfect man to attempt this mission.

Again, this is a high-risk strategy that is not appropriate for all investors. I recommend reading The Million Mission daily and making decisions best for your financial situation.

I want to learn and I am eager to learn about investing. If you have advice for a preschooler taking baby steps I'm all ears. – Robert

Hi, Robert! The best “baby step” is to focus less on picking stocks and more on learning how markets work.

Start by following a few well-known companies you already understand as a customer and watch how their stock moves with news, earnings, and sentiment.

I also published a few articles in December that I believe can help you as well. Here are links for two:

I hope this helps and feel free to email with any questions!

I’m interested in following the Million Mission – Am I crazy? – Pete

Not at all, Pete!

The Million Mission is intentionally high-risk and not for everyone. But it’s designed to be transparent, educational, and most importantly realistic.

If you understand the risks and size positions appropriately, following along can be both a valuable learning experience and potentially lucrative financially.
