Now I spend my time as a professional coach using an emotions-based approach to help clients make sense of their decisions and discern the most suitable path forward.

Hence the psychology and emotion of investing has to be equally emphasized. I strive to apply my analysis and emotions based coaching process in the articles I write, and I will only make an investment decision in alignment with my written views. I do this so that investors are able to access a different mindset, one that prompts the investor to explore a path inward to understand the deeper reasons behind their investment decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-test-id=\"content-container\">\n<p id=\"a-disclosure\"><b>Analyst\u2019s Disclosure:<\/b> <span>I\/we have a beneficial long position in the shares of INTC, PYPL, OKTA, S, DG, BABA, BIDU, CEG either through stock ownership, options, or other derivatives.<\/span> <span id=\"top-business-disclosure\">  I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions.
