Quarterly earnings writeup for Aspen Aerogels (ASPN)
Paid subscribers to Jonah’s Growth Stock Deep Dives receive ~2 deep dives per month (8,000+ words), ~2 mini deep dives per month (2,000+ words) and quarterly earnings commentary (on all of my portfolio companies) plus access to my investment portfolio spreadsheet (up +121% YTD in 2024, up +134% in 2023 and up +2,250% since January 2020) with all positions, hedges and swing trades plus real-time activity, notes/commentary and charts throughout the day.
My investment strategy is pretty simple. I want to own 20-30 high-quality growth stocks with the best fundamentals at the most reasonable valuations — if the fundamentals begin to disappoint or the valuation no longer looks compelling I will trim or sell my position. I want to own stocks that have at least 50% upside within the next 1-2 years and at least 100% upside within the next 3-4 years. If I buy stocks that are too expensive, the fundamentals aren’t good enough or my investment thesis is flawed — then I’ll never hit my investment targets. My objective is to maximize performance in good markets and minimize losses in bad markets. I accomplish this by being very selective in what I own but also using technical analysis, stop losses and hedges to protect my portfolio in market downturns.
