Can imagine a walk for "as little as 10 years" just to become a millionaire at the bus stop?
"One and Ready Browning!!!"
"That's MILLIONAIRE Browning to you Loader Man!"
I cannot imagine what you could tell me to get me to pick you up from the hospital where you're suffering from a disease that kills 10% of the people who catch it, and is most contagious when you are sick…
It is very difficult to be an adult. Very difficult. It is very easy to get overwhelmed, life's responsibilities often leave us feeling like we're drowning. But never forget, when the tide rises and you feel like you're going under…just cut Biggs 2 box and start again.

Bolt ratings increase in my books. The man could've come out and said ANYTHING & it would've had to be accepted, afterall, Legend status eh?
Instead he came out and spoke about respect, hard work, dedication, legacy and planning for your future. GOAT enuh...
Last Sept someone bought ~J$11M worth of Barita shares. They're now worth ~J$82M…10 months later.
A lot of people have been quietly getting rich over the past few years. Regular people like you and me... It's going to be interesting to see the effect they have on the economy.
There are some who will spread the most disgusting lies about you to others in a barefaced manner from a place of simple jealously. Be careful of them. Their day is coming.
Here's a scary idea.... Chris Williams may actually be correct. He may actually be middle class.
(The scary part comes after you read that and say, "then if HIM a 'middle class', what am I?")
Have a good morning.
So… $300,000 invested in FESCO last April is now worth $2,970,000. Have you started investing yet? Start.
And track your portfolio on

Today marks 10 years of
@EveryMickle
's existence. Since then, some things have gone exactly as planned, some happened completely differently and some things are yet to happen. Either way, I'm happy I didn't let this one die as just an idea.
Here's to another 10 years and more…
Had a great talk on 'Resource & Money Management' with these kids from Majesty Gardens last Sat. as a part of

Started by asking who knew about stocks, "Rich ppl ting that…" by the end "Me a buy

😭 Proud Buck!
I do not argue about taking the vaccine with anyone other than my immediate family.
If the threat of a leaked biological weapon killing a few million and evolving by the day, doesn't make you run for the nearest vaccine then that's on you.
Best of luck.
I always say to people who say that they "don't want to be rich, just comfortable", to calculate the cost of "just comfortable".
Meaning work out the cost of the things you actually want, the actual dollar figures and add them all up.
"Comfortable" looks a whole lot like "rich".
BTW, this is true of MANY other brands/companies. Think the banks fees "too teef"? Buy bank stocks. Bere cyaar a full up the road? Buy JETCON. Customs teef? Buy KW. Insurance dear? Buy GENAC. Stocks extra popular from weh day? Buy JSE. You can complain, or you can profit.
While Starbucks in Jamaica takes up the current 9 Day Schedule, please bear in mind that it is possible to buy shares and benefit from Starbuck's presence in Jamaica. You can complain, or you can profit.. 🤷🏾♂️
If you work at a company that's going to IPO and want me to come talk to the employees about stocks, investing, how it can change their lives and why they should participate, I'm willing to do it, for free too.
Let's not have those opportunities wasted any more.
It's painful to me that the Spur Tree Spices employees didn't take up all their IPO allotments. That's a real life-changing opportunity that many of them haven't taken up for whatever reason. Sad…
I promised a thread on a stock that I researched and then been buying heavily ever since. It's been weeks since I made the promise, looking to fulfill it tonight…
(Beg you some patience if it's a slow thread, my brain tired at this point in the day)
It took me a long time to realize that if a set of people are determined to hate you, nothing as simple as the truth or reality will ever be enough to change that.
Someone once told me that Sade Adu is a vampire and a lot of her songs are about being one... "Kiss of Life" etc...
Obvious rubbish...but she could help matters a little by at least pretending to age...
Gonna do a little Stock Market Talk with
@HDanhai
on Spaces tonight at around 8pm.
We're gonna be talking about the current market and whatever else we like.
Linkup!
12 years ago I followed through on a gem of an idea…
@EveryMickle
. It's since been a catalyst for so much more, helping so many & kicking off much of what we see now & things to come.
If any of that has ever helped you in any way, then Happy MickleDay to you.
Here's to 12 more🥂
I repeat, not every voice speaking about investing knows what they're talking about. It remains your responsibility to ensure that what you're listening to is from a source who understands what they're speaking about & not simply repeating words to sound good.
The risk is your $.
Protip I believe in... Whatever I spend weekly on gas, I'd also buy that amount of FESCO shares each month...
The way I see it, if I'm gonna spend on it, I might as well own it also...
I suspect in a year or 2 it's a strategy that'll work out very well for me...
The Jamaica Stock Exchange is a direct product of Edward Seaga's work. I can't overstate how thankful I am for that. Few really understand how much the JSE (& the opportunity it represents for regular Jamaicans) means to me...Walk Good Mr. Seaga, your legacy speaks for itself.
What is GRWR? I get asked this a lot, so every so often I try to update everyone on what it is and how you can benefit from it. Here's an explainer…
GRWR is a Financial Literacy Workshop which teaches what I call 'Practical Investing' with a heavy focus on the J'can Stock Market
"How do you know when to sell?"
👇🏾
"What was your goal when you bought?"
"But suppose it goes higher?"
👇🏾
"What was your goal when you bought?"
"But I don't wanna be the fool who sold at $2 & then it go run go $4 after that..."
👇🏾
"What was your goal when you bought?"

One thing that most Jamaican's definitely aren't familiar with is kindness. Random acts of kindness can get you anything from silent stares and suspicion to straight up killed. I hope in time we can grow past that.
Thank you to every one. I'm properly stunned by the outpouring. Not just on the TL too, but also the calls, messages & DM's sending encouragement. I cant respond to every tweet but, thank you, I appreciate it. Even if I wanted to stop now I really couldn't.
Forward.

Every few weeks my JMMB Bank Visa card ending in 5058 gets used for $30k at Royes Plaza.. only thing is, I don't have a JMMB Bank card and have no idea where Royes Plaza is…
Sending out a prayer for all the "Oh I invest in the US Markets" and the "Crypto is better" people today. May the blood of your portfolios be washed away by the deluge of your tears.

The JSE is still going up…Join us.
Green Island in Hanover is a wonderful place with mostly wonderful people. Like anywhere in this region, there's a strong mix of personalities living there, despite its relatively small size.
It is not my favorite island however, today that title belongs to Island Grill.
Major issue in J'can culture. Wins are meant to be hushed up under the guise of humility. Somewhere along the way we allowed the insecurities of some to become the guiding lines of all.
We have to cut this.
Celebrating wins openly is NOT a lack of humility.
Dash weh insecurities.
Whoo!
@EduFocal
with some🔥 Q1 Results!
Helluva start to their yr!
81% More Revenue
178% More Profit😲
$13.8M Cash on the books
Becoming a multi-national Group with the US acquisition AND (according to the MD+A) the acquisition's numbers really come in, in Q2…
Impressive👏🏾
To those whose portfolios are bleeding and you're trying to map a recovery, keep this chart in mind.
It's never left my mind since I first saw it. I hope it helps you also with some decisions…
If you had put $70k JMD in $LUMBER.ja 2 months ago when I'd made the tweet below, you'd currently have a little over $100k now. 44% gain, in less than 3 months.
Remember this the next time someone tells you that "stocks are for the long term" or "I'm saving up to invest".
The advice remains the same; you can complain, or you can profit.
No one owes you anything, no one is coming to save you.
If you get the house cheap and decide to sell, you're gonna sell it back at profit, and in so doing, immediately become the people you speak against.
Gonna donate half of the proceeds from the next GRWR IPO Edition to Blaine's GoFundMe. We'll be going over First Rock's IPO Prospectus & I know many are interested in that one so hopefully this gives him a good boost 🤞🏾.
You can donate separately below 👇🏾
Lemme add the type of context that I don't usually see added. One of SVL's largest subsidiaries is Caymanas Park (SVREL), the Chairman of which is Solomon Sharpe, who is also the CEO of Main Event.
I refuse to apologize for constantly seeing silver linings in this situation. For example, delivery service as a business is getting well & truly entrenched.
Which means delivery logistics as infrastructure is being normalized. Long time coming, new millionaires being made. 👏🏾🇯🇲
I don't think people calling for meetings to discuss the virus implications get it 🤦🏾♂️.
It's now, while everyone is uninfected that we need to start the seclusion. Pushing people together in the early stages is a recipe for trouble. The COVID 19 Prep Meeting is better as an email.
Me At:
10k: 🤦🏾♂️ Wish I had enough $ to grab every play.
100k: 🤦🏾♂️ Wish I had enough $ to grab every play.
1m: 🤦🏾♂️ Wish I had enough $ to grab every play.
10m: 🤦🏾♂️ Wish I had enough $ to grab every play.
I suspect 100m is gonna sound very familiar...
It's painful to me that the Spur Tree Spices employees didn't take up all their IPO allotments. That's a real life-changing opportunity that many of them haven't taken up for whatever reason. Sad…
Do note that if you're Jamaican you've never actually seen this from government in your entire life. A minister resigning and apologizing immediately after a screwup...
Shocking 😮
This really is a new age.

@NigelClarkeJa
just announced that the GoJ will be updating the Junior Market threshold up to $750mil.
No details on when as yet, but this is a thing that has been long hoped for so I'm happy to hear the official agreement to do it.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My one specific public goal this year, is to raise & have a conversation IN PUBLIC about something that has been kept taboo to the detriment of us regular Jamaicans for decades; Money.
It may be uncomfortable but if it goes how I plan, at the end, we'll all be better off for it.
This is a new level... A man who;
1. Has no children
2. Calls himself "Father"
3. Doesn't even have sex with women...
is dictating what they can and can't do with their bodies... Wow..
Random Thought: Selling your USD right now at these rates and buying a good local stock or 2 with the money is likely the best someone can make currently. Ignore this advice at your own peril. We'll revisit this soon.
Haven’t spoken in Jamaican dollar currency in years I barely know that language anymore it’s fading fast too. All these USDs got me doing things a regular JMD currency could Neva
If they hate you?
Put your head down and work. Good work will have undeniable impact.
If they love you?
Put your head down and work. Good work will have undeniable impact.

Last year this time…
I swear, it never gets old. Every time a regular person does GRWR, applies the stuff learnt and sees their investments growing as a result, I get a reminder of why I do it.
Making millionaires…"since 2015"…
Office clean up continues.. Found a letter I submitted to Tax Authority here after trying to submit some docs and they asked me to get permission from the company to do business on its behalf 🤦♂️.. I was ALOT more volatile back then. 😅
