Welcome to CoolByMichael
The transparent and true way to compound your wealth.
What is this Publication about?
Helping ambitious self-directed investors master fundamental investing principles through digestible company research so they can build lasting wealth by investing in businesses they truly understand.
The whole publication follows my investing philosophy.
I believe in owning exceptional businesses for the long haul—not chasing headlines or riding trends.
This publication follows one clear path: identifying quality companies with sustainable advantages, investing in them at reasonable prices, and letting the power of compounding work its magic.
I'm not pursuing risky strategies for quick 100% gains.
Instead, I focus on consistent, sustainable outperformance that adds up dramatically over decades.
Even a 2-3% edge over the market annually can transform your financial future.
Why not invest in index funds?
Index funds are excellent tools—I'll never suggest otherwise.
But for those willing to develop discipline and understanding, there's a path to superior returns in the long haul.
Consider this: A single percentage point of outperformance turns $10,000 into an additional $280,000 over 30 years.
This isn't about gambling—it's about patient application of timeless principles that have created wealth for generations of successful investors.
This is a journey of continuous growth.
I don't claim to have all the answers, and I'll share my mistakes alongside my successes.
You'll get complete transparency—including my actual portfolio holdings and decision-making process in real-time.
I believe real wealth requires three essential elements:
Knowledge: Understanding businesses, not just stock symbols
Equity: Ownership in exceptional companies that compound value
Patience: The discipline to let time work in your favor

A Different Path Forward
Wall Street wants you trapped in short-term trading and complex formulas, because that's how they profit. They want you chasing the next hot stock, glued to daily fluctuations, not patiently building ownership in great businesses. This system of short-term thinking, of complexity for complexity's sake, keeps ambitious investors like you distracted from the proven path to lasting wealth.
But what if you could tune out the noise, cut through the complexity, and focus on what truly matters: understanding and owning remarkable businesses for the long haul?
Building generational wealth isn't about timing the market or mastering complex formulas. It's about becoming a patient, thoughtful investor who understands the companies they invest in and lets compound growth work its magic over time.
Imagine a future where:
You confidently select companies not for quick gains, but for long-term ownership, understanding their fundamentals and growth potential for decades to come.
You patiently watch your wealth compound, year after year, driven by the real value of the businesses you understand and own, not by market hype or fleeting trends.
You build a legacy of generational wealth, knowing your investment decisions are grounded in deep understanding and a commitment to long-term ownership, creating lasting financial security.
Join us in revolutionizing how thoughtful investors approach building generational wealth. Together, we're replacing short-term trading with patient ownership, confusion with clarity, and market timing with the proven power of compound returns.
It’s time to break free from the short-term trading trap and embrace the proven power of long-term business ownership and compounding.
