FAQ
🕑 Added 2025-02-20 16:39:53 +0000 UTCOur group has grown exponentially over the last 6 months, so it's important we facilitate the group's expansion and make sure things continue to run smoothly.
Vojtech has been doing enormous amount of work lately to keep the chat rooms running efficiently, completing the LIT News every Sunday and keeping us up to date on Earnings releases this season. He has also helped put together this FAQ, because the same questions keep recurring in the chat groups, under the posts and in mails.
So I hope this helps you navigate the group and chat rooms easier.
I will add this to every folder in Collections, so it will help you locate it whenever you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find the TOP 20 and TOP 10?
The TOP 20 and TOP 10 lists are available in the Collections tab. You can also find them using the search function: TOP 20 list | TOP 10 list.
The TOP 20 list is updated every weekend and some mid-week, while the TOP 10 has regular updates. You can also search for individual tickers.
What is the difference between TOP 20 and TOP 10?
TOP 20 includes market leaders I believe in for the long term. This list is updated every weekend, with occasional mid-week updates.
TOP 10 consists of picks specifically for 2025. These stocks are not meant to be compared to the TOP 20, as they were selected based on my conviction that they will perform well this year specifically.
Can I ask for a chart? Where do I make a chart request? Can we get an update on X? Could you do a chart of X?
No. Chart requests are exclusive to PRO members and must be submitted through the direct message function in the app.
If a member is interested in a stock or an updated chart, they should explain why it is relevant to the entire group. This can be done by highlighting a strong technical setup, solid fundamentals, or a combination of both.
Pure requests without added value will not be tolerated and may result in penalties.
Is there a chart of X? Is the chart of X from November last year the most recent one?
Please use the search function before asking in the chat. If the chart does not appear for recent days, try adjusting the Date Published filter.
What is a buy zone? How do I find one on my chart? Why does chart X have no buy zone? Do we expect stock X to hit the buy zone?
A buy zone is a price range where I have determined that a stock is undervalued with a strong margin of safety. When a stock enters this range, buying becomes a priority for me.
However, just because a chart has a buy zone doesn’t guarantee the price will reach it—it simply means this is where I believe we would gain maximum benefit if we bought in this range.
Not every chart will have a buy zone. I only place them on stocks where I have conducted full fundamental and technical analysis. If a buy zone is present, it means I am personally comfortable buying in that range and closely monitoring the stock.
Will it go back up? Will it ever pull back?
Breathe and trust your original plan. Reacting emotionally to market moves leads to irrational decisions and discomfort.
No one can predict the future, but we can have a plan for all possibilities.
Proper position sizing is essential—it can either help you succeed or destroy your journey. If you need guidance on this, I recommend studying position sizing strategies in our lesson.
Is it a time to buy? Should I trim X here?
NEVER ask me when to BUY, SELL, or TRIM. That decision is yours.
I provide analysis, not financial advice. Some members in this group are making six figures per month, while I get $37 a month for this. It’s up to you to own your decisions.
If you want my insights, read the chart commentaries and follow my trade updates. I clearly state where I look for buys, sells, and trims.
Questions like this will be respectively ignored—it’s in your best interest to develop your own process rather than rely on others.
My strategy for buying, selling, and trimming is explained in a lesson too.
What does a watchlist mean? What is a safe haven? What does “RC” mean?
Watchlist: A folder for bullish setups. If a stock is tagged as "watchlist," it means I expect it to perform well in the short term—but it is not a buy signal.
Safe haven: A position that holds strong during market downturns.
We are in a multi-year bull market, but cycles shift, and we must prepare for the transition. Moving capital into Safe Haven positions protects your portfolio and keeps liquidity ready for new opportunities.
Safe haven picks are stored in the safe haven folder.
RC: Stands for "Requested Chart." These are chart requests from PRO Tier members, and all members see the same charts.
Where do I look for fundamentals? Which ones are important?
We have a detailed post on this topic and if you’re interested in Buffett’s approach.
How do I recognize the support confirmation?
How should I position into the stock? One buy or multiple entries?
We prefer scaling into positions as it is a safer approach. We also have a lesson on this.
Is there any Discord or Telegram group?
No. We operate exclusively through Patreon. Any other services claiming to be us are fraudulent.
Any thoughts on X? Any opinions on X? X?
No thoughts. Please try to formulate your question properly to get meaningful insights.
Does Cap own X? Did Cap buy?
Please refer to the Buys and Sells Chat for this information.
Anyone playing earnings? Should I play earnings?
No, I never trade earnings. If you choose to do so, that’s your decision, but please avoid influencing other members.
Should I buy these Options? Anyone shorting X? I might go all in on X.
This community follows a disciplined strategy:
No chasing stocks
No shorting
No options or leveraged trades
No meme stocks
Long-term portfolio building
However, we all have different approaches, and that’s okay.Just be mindful of the community’s strategy when participating in discussions.
