Hello, reader!
Welcome to the “Expanse Stocks” blog!
What is Expanse Stocks about?
Expanse Stocks is for anyone seeking fresh insights to level up their investing and swing trading game. Whether you’re hunting for growth stocks, digging into quality companies, or looking to level up your fundamental analysis with some technical analysis flair, you’re in the right place.
I’m not into flooding your inbox with constant emails. Instead, I focus on sharing thoughtful, high-quality posts that provide real value.
If you are looking for something more casual and interactive, feel free to join the community over on Stocktwits, where I also share investing ideas, technical analyses and engage with traders. You can find me at @Nikotes.
Who is Expanse Stocks?
I’m Diego (@dcurras1) also known as @Nikotes in the Stocktwits community—a scientist at heart, software solutions engineer by trade, and a long-time investor and swing trader by passion.
My love for science drives my analytical approach, and after seven years in the market, I’m here to share what I’ve learned.
I believe in the power of ideas, collaboration, and continuous learning. I hope you find this blog useful and, if you do, feel free to subscribe and stick around.
Why subscribe?
Terry Smith, Founder and CEO of Fundsmith, said it best:
Buy great, durable growth businesses and let them do the compounding.
Pay up for quality—it’s worth it.
Always stay invested in the market.
Of these lessons, the third one has been the most important in my investing journey. Sounds simple, right? In practice, it’s anything but. Whether you’re a trader or a long-term investor, mastering your emotions and navigating the fear and volatility of the markets is what separates wealth creators from wealth destructors.
The first step in your investing or trading journey is knowing yourself. And that’s not just theory—it requires real experience. Many investors think they can handle volatility... until they face it head-on.
That’s where Expanse Stocks comes in, and here’s what you can expect:
🧠 Research: In-depth analyses of standout growth and quality companies for long-term investments.
🔍 Stock Screeners: Discover hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems by theme—Growth, Quality, Industries, Countries, and more.
🗝 Technical Analysis: Tools, charts, and insights for swing traders.
👀 Portfolio Updates: A look into my long-term portfolio and current swing trades.
For Investors:
You’ll find insights on high-quality growth companies to help you build conviction, align your portfolio with your goals, and balance it in a way that suits your investment style.
For Traders:
You’ll get technical analysis tools, charts, and strategies to identify promising setups without forcing trades—sometimes, the best move is waiting for the market to come to you.
For Both:
I’ll blend fundamental insights with technical analysis, offering a fresh approach to uncovering hidden and well-known investment opportunities alike. Whether you’re after solid long-term picks or speculative plays, I have ideas to help you elevate your swing trading skills.
Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you join me on this journey!
