all right so as 2024 draws to a close I

thought it'd be useful to share with you

in my portfolio what are the best stocks

that contributed the gains in my

portfolio and what are the worst

performing stocks that drag down my

gains this year and more importantly

what do I do with the uh best performing

stocks do I sell them to take profit do

I hold them and what do I do with the

worst performing stocks do I cut loss

and get out or do I buy more well let's

find out in this video

[Music]

all right so we' have got I think less

than three trading days left to the year

and I think for most of you who have

been invested in the US market you

should be seeing you know pretty good

gains In This Very bullish year

personally for me I've got several

portfolios and this is the main

portfolio that my uip subscribers my

students they look at is the one that I

show them every month of performance so

here to dat you can see that the per the

port folio is up

28.425o date 26.6 3% in terms of the

value of the performance for this

portfolio is up 1 Point uh close to 1.3

million us of gains for the year but

again remember that you know when you

look at someone who's able to grow their

portfolio not just me but you know many

other investors out there you know not

every stock goes up that year not every

stock performs uh that year all right so

in a portfolio you've got stocks that

perform and stocks that underperform so

I like to run through VI what are the

stocks that you know perform the best

for me this year and the ones that have

underperformed this year and uh let me

show you uh from this uh newsletter this

is a newsletter that I send to all my

students every month it's a monthly

investment newsletter so this the latest

December issue and I actually wrote

about it so let me talk a bit about it

so let me scroll down over here

and let me get to that section ah there

we are okay so so far uh year to date

and again there three days left my best

performing stocks for this year and

again some of them I bought quite a few

years ago all right so they have been

performing quite well but this year

palente here has been my best performer

it's up

36% uh that's uh in the first place uh

number two Nvidia in second place up

179% in third place meta platforms up

73% uh next 4et up 65% service now up

59% broadcom up 52% booking up 49%

Amazon up 43% and Salesforce up

39% uh so yeah this is my interactive

brokers platform you can see all the

stocks over there right and again some

of them like paler I didn't buy it this

year I bought it some time ago so my

average price for paler is about you

know $11 so right now at $83 it's up uh

almost eight times all right and like

again Nvidia as you guys have been

following me I bought it back in

2022 uh November and I bought Nvidia

initially at $15 this is the post spit

price I bought it $15 and then I did the

stupid thing of selling it at um

$48 yeah I sold it at $48 I was a bloody

idiot right and then I bought it back at

about

$550 if I'm not wrong 530 540 and now

it's $140 okay so you can see that my

average

price uh and I bought more along the way

my average price is $60 and so that is

like double but in actual fact I started

buying at $15 if I was not an idiot to

sell and buy it back I'm sure many of

you have done that idiotic thing as well

like me you know you know meta platforms

uh uh again uh I also bought a lot and

as you guys know I was stupid to sell

covered calls on half my position so

half got called away and uh if not for

that would have made a lot more money

right so these are the best performing

stocks in the portfolio so at the end of

every year I like to look at my best

performing stocks and to ask the

question what made them the best

performing stocks and so if you take a

look at you know these stocks I just

showed you what do you think they all

have in common take a closer look right

that's right they all are AI related

stocks which makes sense because we are

at the beginning of the AI Revolution

all right so pretty simple why they with

the best performing stocks now the next

question that then I would ask myself

would be okay so they've done very well

for the portfolio like pent here it's up

like almost eight times and Nvidia from

the time I bought it $15 is up again

about nine times right is it time to

take profit or should I hold and in fact

buy more now again bear in mind that I'm

talking uh from the perspective of an

investor and not a Trader Trader very

simple hit the profit Target we get out

hit the stop loss we get out but for

investor the whole idea is to let the

gains compound and compound and compound

over time so from investment perspective

the question I ask myself is this does

is this company still growing is it

still a great company does it still have

a strong economic mode and does it still

have a long Runway ahead and if the

answer is yes I don't sell I hold and in

fact I will buy even

more next year if the price

retraces near or below the intrinsic

value one of my students just posted uh

my pener position just hit 1,000% gain I

think she bought it about $8 and so

she's up like 10x and what you realize

is that many people they always dream

that I want to buy a stock that goes up

10x or 20x or or or 5x right and the

reason why many people can't achieve

that is not because they pick the wrong

stock it's not because they don't pick

the right stock but because for many

people they they have this overwhelming

temptation to take profit way before it

reaches 10x now ask yourself this

question you know most people they buy a

stock at $50 and if goes up 50% to $75

they say oh I'm going to get out before

I lose everything right or if it goes up

to 100% right from the $50 stock goes at

$100 they say 100% up they they take

profit so think about it if you want to

get that 10x stock like like banteer

that means you must resist you must

resist selling it when it's up 20% up

50% up 100% up 200% up 300% up 500% up

700% up 800% you're going to resist

selling which for most people is so

difficult because they think if I if I

don't sell it what if I lose everything

okay but that's the secret to

compounding your wealth you have to

resist selling as long as it's a again

it's a great company it's got a long

Runway and you know it's it's growing it

makes sense to keep holding a great

company but then some of you may say but

Adam isn't palen like way overvalued

right now you know I heard that one of

your rules is that even as a great

company if it's way overvalued you

should sell uh if it's way overvalued

you're right you know you're right okay

in fact let me give you some uh some

more information about that so I if you

look at palente yes it is very

overvalued currently based on its

current earnings and cash flow in fact

my latest intrinsic value for palen here

is about

$28 that's my intrinsic value and right

now is at freaking $84 right so it's

like way above the intrinsic value so

people say then Adam why aren't you

selling okay well let me explain myself

to you okay um now again like I said

shortterm is way overvalued and I won't

be surprised let me put this way I won't

be surprised if palente drops 50% or

even s i I'm not surprised but then

where why am I not selling because you

know palent is one of those companies

where after I really studied the

business in depth

I realized that there's no company quite

like it okay and I'm looking at where

palente here will be 10 years from now I

don't care where it'll be one year two

years three years from now if it drops

50% I don't care I'm see where it's

going to be 10 years from now and if you

understand what paler really does paler

basically offers an integrated ecosystem

and operating system for the AI world

right so to me you know palena could be

the next Apple of the mobile Revolution

the next Microsoft of the of the of the

OS Revolution right where AI agents data

and uh uh Global Information is built on

palenia platform on Enterprises all

around the world I'm not saying

guaranteed it's going to happen but it

could happen Okay so in other words if

you look at palent here right now

palen's market cap is about $190 billion

okay and if you look at Salesforce now

Salesforce is kind of like the leader in

customer relationship software and

Salesforce market cap is like 300

billion now could paler reach the market

cap of Salesforce eventually to be again

the the AI

leader like Salesforce is a CRM leader I

believe so which means that paler could

still increase 50% from here to

Salesforce market cap now Microsoft's

market cap is uh three trillion okay so

if palenia were to be the next Microsoft

of the AI world that could be another

10x now again we don't know if it's

going to happen right it could happen it

may not happen but I think it is a

possibility okay now having said that

let me let me put it this way right by

the way um I bought a lot of palant here

at about

$111 and I already actually sold half my

palent here okay I sold half of it at

about uh I think I sold it at about uh I

think $30 $40 yeah I I feel like

slapping myself now that I'm telling you

that right so I already s half my palen

so in other words my my position in

palen right now I've already made back

my cost so what you see in my portfolio

which is the paler is pure 100% profit

with zero risk so even if paler goes to

zero okay goes to zero and I lose

194,000 it's fine okay because I already

made back my profit by selling half of

my palena so what I have in palena right

now is the other half okay so I think

the question of whether you know if you

believe in a company should you sell or

not sell depends on your position you

know I one of my students who said to me

recently uh he said Adam right now I

only have one stock in my portfolio and

he said I put everything all into

palente and he bought it at like $10

right so 100% of his portfolio is in

palena and he said at watch I do and I

said well I can't give you a

recommendation or advice I'm not a

licensed adviser but I said to him I

said if I were you and I had 100% of my

portfolio in bent year I would sell

right now okay I would sell right now

I'll probably sell maybe 80% of my my

paler position I'll keep 20% I'll sell

80% and the other 80% I'll diversify

into the other great companies whether

Nvidia or meta or Google or or or or

broadcom and so and so for right you get

the point so whether one should sell or

not sell depends on their current

allocation but because for me palent

here is only 4% of my portfolio it

should be 8% stupid Adam stupid Adam for

selling but never mind but because it's

only 4% which is you know just not a

very big position okay it's okay for me

not not to sell I'm just going to hold

it all right then some people would say

but Adam you know why don't you do this

let me take out my drawing tool over

here they say Adam why don't you know

like palen is like up down up now it's

like all the way up right they say Adam

why don't you sell palenia right now

it's overpriced sell it okay and then

when it drops back down which it will

eventually right what goes up must come

down it's under value gain you buy it

back right plenty smart right and then

you write it up again right now why

don't I do this now of course it sounds

great in theory you know who doesn't

want to do this right but you know

something I used to do this before I

used to this many many times and by you

know you know trying to jump out when

it's too high and jump back in there

were many great stocks that I couldn't

get back in that to get back in I to pay

a much higher price and um and I'm going

to give you an example what happens

maybe not to you but it's happened to me

many many times right where the stock

goes up it comes down it goes up it

comes down it goes up and I say to

myself okay you know I'm going to take

profit here I buy back when it's lower

so what do I do

you know I sell it right there okay and

after I sell it the bastard keeps going

up right keeps going go oh okay and

then I tell myself okay I'll buy back

when it retrace the snakes and it keeps

going up and then when it does retrace

it retraces but not below the price I

got out yet so I'm not happy it's like I

got to buy it back at the price I sold

it right and then it's I'm waiting and

then it goes up and then I can never buy

it back and and I miss the big right

it's happened to be many many times I

don't know about you but it's happened

to you happened to be many many times

all right and I'll I'll share you one

stock I'll be I'll be using an example

in a short while another example that

has happened to me many many times is

the stock goes up comes down goes up

comes down goes up and I say to myself

okay I'm going to sell right buy it back

when it's lower so true enough I

sell and the moment I sell what happens

the price goes down and I go yeah I'm

good I'm so smart now

I got to buy it back but the question is

at what price do I buy it back right so

you say to yourself okay maybe you you

look at this trend line here wait for it

to hit the trend line you buy it back so

I'm waiting for it to hit the trend line

and suddenly it goes up and go but

never mind I can still buy it back below

where I sold it but then you say to

yourself but you know after a run up

usually there's a bit of a retracement

wait for the retracement Right

retracement comes you say but it keeps

it looks like it's going down going to

wait some more and the next thing you

know before you get a chance to buy it

in it shoots above your sell point and

again you don't feel like buying back

anymore and then it goes up and you are

gone I don't know about you but this has

happened to be many many many times in

the past and good example I can share

with you right here right now because I

did a screenshot of this is when I first

bought meta platforms before it was

known as

Facebook I bought it at $19 freaking

doll okay I bought it at

$19 and then when it went to uh $50 I

sold it and I thought I was a genius

whoa I made 100% of my money I'm so

smart no Adam you are freaking freaking

idiot okay CU after I sold at

$50 and I thought I'll buy back lower

again before I could buy it back it flew

and flew and flew and flew and never

never came back right and again by the

time I bought it back I bought it back

at a much higher price even when it

crashed all the way to $80 in 2022 and I

bought a lot there your way above what I

paid for it so because of this you know

I learned my lesson I realize that when

you identify a great business that

monopolizes a certain Niche whether is

it Nvidia or meta or Google or palena

that's kind of like having a great

product or service that monopolizes

Niche you want to hold on to it right

you want to hold on to it and let it

grow grow and compound and that is a

secret of being very very wealthy okay

so again

uh that's my basic lesson and the same

thing with Nvidia all right so again uh

my

Nvidia since I bought it at $15 it's up

like nine times and uh is am I selling

Nvidia no I'm not why because again I

think that

Nvidia again is a key player in the AI

Revolution on the hardware and the

software side and again we're just at

the early stages of the AI Revolution

now what do I mean by early stages I

talked about this during the black

Market event right that you know the AI

Revolution started on the 30th of

November 2022 so we are only two years

in this AI Revolution and just in two

years we started with generative AI

where it's like a chat box right you ask

a question it answers you text to text

generative Ai and then so fast we had

text to image where now you can create

images from prompts you can create

videos from prompts and then this year

is the year of AI agents where now they

are digital employees that can do an

entire task it's not just a chatbot you

have an AI agent that can create an

entire marketing campaign you have an AI

agent that can that can uh deal with a

customer just like a real life person so

I believe that in 2025 will be the year

where you know AI agents will go to the

next level and that's where paler would

be the you know kind of like the

operating system defecto platform for AI

agents in the future to uh match them

all together all right and then AI

autonomous robots are coming up so we're

just at the beginning yeah and again if

you compare this to the mobile

Revolution that started on the 9th of

January with the invention of the iPhone

and that mobile internet Revolution it

changed the world it changed our lives

and right now we are in the 17th year of

the mobile internet Revolution where

during this time apple is up

7,000 per that is

79 times your money 79 x your money it's

really really crazy right so again if

you take a look at the AI Revolution

which I believe will be even bigger than

the mobile internet Revolution where

only in year number two there's another

you know 10 15 years more to go and if

you think about it ever since the start

of this revolution palent here is up

again only nine times Nvidia is up like

only 10 times could it up another 50

times who knows right again as long as

it's a long Runway it's still growing

it's a great business out hold on to it

but again it depends on again your

allocation if I had 100% of my money in

in in again Nvidia yeah I would sell I

would sell to diversify so it's all

about allocation it's all about

allocation that's really very important

now uh talking about Nvidia my intrinsic

value for NVIDIA is

$130 so Nvidia is not that expensive

actually it is not cheap but it is not

crazy expensive it is slightly above the

intrinsic value of 130 and I did mention

in my previous video that I will be

hopefully want to adding more Nvidia

next year if it can retrace below 130 to

these support levels I like to add at

support levels in trenches and of course

the lower it goes the more happy I am

I've got a bigger margin of safety I buy

more the lower it goes and that's the

mindset of an investor all right now let

me talk about my work first performing
