Value Tortoise

Imagine this: you're browsing the internet, and you come across a new investing newsletter promising to send you weekly mails with investing ideas that will make you a billionaire in no time. You eagerly sign up, hoping to unlock the secrets to unlimited wealth.

As you may have noticed the articles are all over the place as I struggle to stick to one topic. Fortunately, investing is not just about buying and selling stocks. It's about understanding the world around us, and how different industries, technologies, and trends shape our future.
