I want to add that this is my own blog at Motley Fool, if that wasn't clear. I wasn't just copying somebody else's article. I also want to say that I own a large position in Aphria and Tetra Bio-Pharma. While some writers try to state their objectivity by only writing about stocks they don't own, I believe it is better to write from your personal portfolio so you can put your money where your mouth is. I want people to know that not only do I call this a great investment for others to consider, but I backed that up with my own positions I purchased in these companies. As I have said elsewhere, I don't want a mechanic telling me about a Ford if he only owns a Chevy but I want him to speak from his or her experience that can only be gained from personal involvement. Yes, that is subjective. Experience, valuable experience, like the experiences of all our great teachers, is subjective. In the military, you want someone with subjective experience to teach you how to be a soldier, not someone who just read about it in books. With stocks, you want someone that knows an industry and invests in it to teach you about it because they have given themselves so many further reasons to get into all the details of the industry and their investments pushed them to do so much more due diligence, meet so many more people, call and discuss it with so many more persons. And this is why I will choose to write here with that in mind, on companies that I really know about and have backed up my opinion with an actual purchase. To me, if someone really thinks a stock is a good buy, and are telling others about it, then they need to put their money where their mouth is. A good writer is able to be both subjective and objective at the same time and we should strive for that goal. So you write not just because you own a stock but because you have something substantial to say about it and which is fact based. As a karate, jiu jitsu instructor, you have to have subjective experience to back up your claims it works, and that subjectivity makes your objectiveness 1000% better.
