Do you remember why you snapped it?
As your Watch List grows, this starts happening: "Why did I snap this one again?"
You snapped it three months ago. The price history is there. But you can't recall what caught your attention — so even if the stock is up, you can't connect that outcome to your original thinking.
The reason you noticed a stock is the most valuable piece of information. Memos, Tags, and Eagerness in Kabugazer exist to preserve it.
Three ways to record your thinking
Memo — free-form notes
Write anything about the stock in your own words. Examples:
- "Saw it trending on Twitter — new product launch coming up."
- "A friend I trust mentioned they recently bought this."
- "Read that the dividend yield is unusually high."
No need to be formal. Just write why you got curious. When you look back later, it becomes a window into your past thinking — and a benchmark for whether your thesis held up.
Tags — labels to categorize stocks
Add multiple tags to any stock, separated by commas.
| Tag example | Use case |
|---|---|
social media | Stocks you found via social media |
undervalued | Stocks that seemed cheap relative to value |
dividend | Stocks you're watching for dividend income |
long watch | Stocks you want to observe for a long time |
Tagged stocks can be filtered in your Watch List. Tags you've used before are suggested on the next input, so your vocabulary stays consistent naturally.
Eagerness (★0–3) — your level of interest
Record how strongly you're considering actually buying, on a 0–3 star scale.
| Rating | What it means |
|---|---|
| ★★★ | Actively considering buying |
| ★★ | Want to watch a bit longer before deciding |
| ★ | Observing only — no buy intent yet |
| None | Interested but no judgement formed |
Update it anytime. Your Watch List shows the star count at a glance, making it easy to spot your top candidates.
Looking back is where the real learning happens
The true value of memos and tags emerges when you revisit them later.
- "How have my 'social media' tagged stocks performed?"
- "Which of my ★★★ picks actually went up?"
- "How are my 'dividend' stocks doing a year on?"
Over time you'll see your own patterns — which sources you can trust, what types of stocks you tend to read well. That's what investing intuition actually looks like.
Key takeaways
- Memo: a free-form note on why you got curious — write it in your own words
- Tags: labels to categorize stocks; use them for filtering too
- Eagerness (★0–3): your current level of buy interest
- Reviewing all three over time reveals your personal investment patterns
Record the feeling behind each snap. Three months or a year from now, it becomes the raw material for building real investing intuition.
