A new chapter begins
Dear Getquin Community,
for more than 2 years now you know me as RealMichaelScott here on Getquin. Since I've been active here, both Getquin and myself have developed rapidly.
My journey on Getquin started in April 2022, initially using the platform mainly to track my own portfolio. Gradually, I started to write smaller posts and commentaries until I finally plucked up the courage to write more extensive analyses and posts. These not only helped me to improve my own investment style, but also to make more informed decisions about my portfolio. Your support and feedback have always inspired and motivated me.
I have exciting news to share with you today. It's time to start a new chapter. I no longer want to write under the pseudonym RealMichaelScott but under my real name.
Why?
There is no one reason for this decision. In April 2022 I was looking for a pseudonym to register here. The fact that RealMichaelScott came out was probably more of a coincidence than a well thought-out decision. On the one hand, I've always enjoyed the references to Michael Scott from the series The Office here - on the other hand, I would rather not identify myself with a character from a series in the future. I would rather post under my real name and not hide behind a (more or less well thought-out) pseudonym - especially when it comes to writing serious posts.
Who am I?
Long story short: my real name is Nico Uhlig. I received my first shares back in 2006 as part of an employee share program when Wacker Chemie AG went public. $WCH (+1.9%) IPO. A few years later, after leaving the company, I sold them at a profit and I was done with shares for the time being. I then went on to study mathematics, which I successfully completed in 2016. During this time, I didn't own any shares and hardly ever thought about investing. It wasn't until I started my career after graduating that I began to look more closely at investing. In 2017, I bought my first truly "own" shares - it was Coca Cola $KO (-0.77%) and Apple $AAPL (+0.66%) . Since then, I have become more and more involved in investing and company analysis. Over the years, I've been able to learn a lot and find and refine my own investment style. I mainly invest in individual stocks and in particular in quality companies that can ideally also claim high dividend growth.
What is changing now?
First of all, not much except that you can now see my real name here on Getquin. I will keep the handle @RealMichaelScott handle for the time being.
Stay tuned,
Yours Nico Uhlig
