The Key to Growing Your Portfolio as a Quality Investor

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Pieter Slegers back to the show. Pieter is the founder of Compounding Quality, an investment newsletter that boasts more than 507,000 subscribers.

Pieter kicks things off by discussing how AI and market momentum are doing well. However, he says that "classical" companies are currently struggling. He then talks about the need to have a tangible long-term goal in investing and shares his own investing goal and what it would do for his portfolio. And he explains the benefits of removing yourself from your normal environment to gain perspective and how to use that mindset for investing. (0:00)

Next, Pieter shares how he views AI and its impact on the companies that he analyzes. He also adds how he personally uses AI in stock research. Pieter stresses the importance of doing your own reading, both in investing and in your personal life. He says that this not only ensures that you don't miss any details in financial reports but also helps you find new investment ideas in unexpected places. (20:33)

Finally, Pieter details one company that he's excited about over the next 10 years. He found multiple reasons to love it, but after some skepticism, he drove to Germany to meet the CEO. The discussion solidified his optimism for the company. Pieter expressed how talking with the CEOs of smaller companies can provide some information that most people don't have. (39:43)
