Who is Expanse Stocks?
I’m Diego (📎 Twitter/X: @dcurras1 and 📎 LinkedIn: diegocurras) 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 eight 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.
What’s the Expanse Investing Philosophy?
I highly recommend starting with this piece: 📎 My Expanse Investing Philosophy
In it, I share what investing truly means to me and how I approach it as an individual investor. It sets the foundation for everything that follows—especially how I think about identifying and holding great businesses.
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.
