Am I a Financial Genius or Just Really, Really Humble?
🕯️Am I a Financial Genius or Just Really, Really Humble?
You tell me. No seriously… tell me. I need this.
Let’s take a quick moment to talk about something we never talk about here at The Green Candle Stick: how right I’ve been.
I know, I know. Modesty is my brand. But every now and then, you gotta stop polishing the crystal ball and just admire the shine.
So let’s check the scoreboard, shall we?
🧾 If You’d Listened to This Blog (You Beautiful, Risk-Tolerant Genius), Your Gains Would Look Like This:
Lemonade (LMND) – 🍋 +157%
Insurance, but make it ✨ millennial ✨. I told you it was a sleeper. You didn’t believe me. And now you're drinking profits with a straw.Robinhood (HOOD) – 🦜 +291%
The platform that lets people YOLO Dogecoin? Tripled. Because sometimes irony pays.Hims (HIMS) – 🍆 +115%
Your hairline, libido, and portfolio… all restored.Root (ROOT) – 🚗 +54%
Remember when it was “too risky”? So was texting your ex. But one of those worked out.Chewy (CHWY) – 🐶 -3%
Down slightly, sure. But you try running a $10B dog treat empire and see how your margins look. (Also: BUY THE DIP.)Super Micro Computer (SMCI) – 🤖 +51%
“Isn’t it too late to get into AI?” you asked. Yeah, and it was too late to buy Amazon in 2002 too.Tempus AI (TEM) – 🧬 +62%
Health data + AI = Money. Math even ChatGPT respects.Spotify (SPOT) – 🎧 +298%
You streamed Taylor’s Version, I streamed returns.Tesla (TSLA) – ⚡ +427%
I said long-term conviction. You said “Elon’s weird.” We were both right.Bitcoin (BTC) – ₿ +989%
NINE HUNDRED. AND EIGHTY. NINE. PERCENT.
If you didn’t at least dabble when I told you to, go ahead and Venmo your money to the IRS directly and save time.
📣 So, Is This Blog Creating Value?
I dunno.
Do +989% returns scream "maybe"?
Because last I checked, this isn’t a financial newsletter. It’s a crystal ball in blog form. Dipped in humble pie. Sprinkled with gains.
And sure, past performance is no guarantee of future results, but tell that to the version of you who didn't buy Bitcoin and is now explaining to their group chat why “cash is king.” (Spoiler: it’s not.)
📌 Here’s the Deal:
I’m not saying I’m always right.
I’m just saying… I might know what I’m doing.
So maybe, just maybe, when the next edition of The Green Candle Stick hits your inbox, you don’t skim it while scrolling Zillow at midnight.
Maybe you read it.
Maybe you act on it.
Maybe you stop thinking of me as “just a guy with a blog” and start seeing me as… your fiscally sexy best friend who’s trying to make you rich.
You in?
Because the next +989% is already loading.
📬 New to the list? Welcome to the winner’s circle.
📉 Still not investing? That’s between you and your therapist.
