Discussing your personal stock holdings
Question
Do you trade or hold any stocks yourself? If so, why did you choose those particular names?
Short answer
Show a thought-out process. If you invest, explain the thesis behind one or two positions, how you sized them and when you would exit, including lessons from a loss; if you do not, explain how you follow markets instead, such as paper trading or tracking ideas. Avoid tips with no reasoning.
