Founder of Paperweight
Hi, I'm Janik,
founder of
Paperweight
About me.
I started investing when I was 19 years old. It was actually Chris, co-founder of Paperweight, who got me interested in the topic by making me read an annual report of a company called Regi Inc. However, if I'm being completely honest, at that time I didn't understand a single word...

My favourite quote.
It's only when the tide goes out that you discover who's been swimming naked.

Story continued

In July of 2018, Chris and I each invested $1000 in Regi at an average price of roughly $16.50 per share. By September of the same year the stock had surged to $27. We sold our position. Our initial $1000 had turned into $1600 over the course of just three months. Making money is that easy...?

In retrospect

Now, four years and a dozen investing books later, I don't think we would have made the same decision again. Nevertheless, I don't now if I would have ever gotten interested in the stock market if it wasn't for this lucky pick. Thanks for showing me this fascinating world Chris! P.S. While writing this I checked the price of Regi for the first time since we sold our position. Oh my god...
