Investment Thesis
Any intelligent stock investment is a bet about what the future holds. It requires a forecast of that future.
The further out in time we probe, the greater is the risk we may turn out to be in error. Time so spent is extremely costly because it cannot be replaced. “Conservative” long-term errors once apparent may become defeaters of major-objective goals.
The truly protective investment strategies are repeatable evaluative shorter-term ones. They can be identified more readily when failing and replaced by pursuits with better odds for desired achievements.
But they take more effort and information inputs, including realistic price target forecasts.
For most investors those inputs and forecasts are better obtained from market professionals making them day by day without biases likely to be counter to the investor’s objectives.
We obtain those inputs from direct work-experience knowledge of how market-makers must work to provide trading liquidity for major institutions in their management of multi-billion-$ portfolios.
We use Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ:DDOG) and Autodesk, Inc. (ADSK) here as an illustration in the pursuit of knowledgeable shorter-term investment guidance in selecting wealth-building stocks.
