[1/n] Wait: Great Stock Takes Time

May 4–23, 2021

Pick, Think, Wait.

Build a new app from scratch

I feel it’s time to build a new stock app now. Here are the reasons:

• Learning SwiftUI and Combine. The best learning is by doing. Just read the books cannot fully understanding. So, by making a new app is a perfect practice by learning SwiftUI and Combine.
• Currently, the existed stock app is either trading, tech indicator, short term analysis etc. No one focus on long term. I am a value investor. I care more about long term mindset, buy and hold. This drives me to make a stock app to help value investor to make the decision.
• It’s fun to build something and see how it grows.
