My Most Embarrassing Defense Stock Win Let me share my cringe-worthy investment story from the Ukraine crisis. March 2022, I’m having coffee in Raffles Place, scrolling through Ukraine news.

But instead of proper analysis, I googled “top defense companies” and picked $Northrop Grumman(NOC)$ because I remembered their old B-2 stealth bombers from documentaries.

Smart Investing to me means Starting Early and Staying Consistent.  Time in the market beats timing the market.  Compound growth works magic when given time. Smart Investing means Having a plan such as knowing my goal which is FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early and my risk tolerance before even buying a single share. Smart Inv
