Quiet Money, Big Gains: Quant Portfolios Crush It — +30%, +17%, +240% – Update 10/31/2025

After the summary of The Millionaire Next Door by Thomas Stanley are the Portfolio updates.

Summary of The Millionaire Next Door

1. Real wealth isn’t flashy.
Most millionaires don’t look the part. They drive used cars, wear simple clothes, and live in modest homes — they just quietly stack cash.

2. Income ≠ wealth.
Big paychecks mean nothing if you spend it all. True wealth comes from saving, investing, and compounding, not showing off.

3. Frugality is the flex.
Millionaires budget, track expenses, and think twice before every purchase. They treat money like a tool, not a trophy.

4. Live below your means — way below.
The secret sauce: spend less than you earn and invest the difference. Every dollar saved is a future soldier in your financial army.

5. Freedom over flash.
They don’t chase status symbols. They chase independence — the ability to live life on their own terms without relying on a paycheck.

6. Discipline beats luck.
Wealthy people plan, set goals, and stay consistent for decades. They build wealth brick by brick, not overnight.

7. Avoid financial parasites.
Millionaires don’t bankroll adult kids, overextend on “networking” or throw money at bad business ideas. They protect their balance sheet like a fortress.

8. Choose the right partner.
A spouse who shares the same financial mindset — frugal, grounded, goal-driven — can make or break your wealth journey.

9. Small business is a big lever.
Many self-made millionaires own small, often unglamorous businesses — think contractors, dry cleaners, or wholesalers — not tech unicorns.

10. Quiet wealth is lasting wealth.
The loudest person in the room usually isn’t the richest. Real millionaires don’t need validation — their bank accounts do the talking.

Celestica – What does it do?

Celestica Inc. (CLS) is a Toronto-based global provider of supply chain and manufacturing solutions. It operates through two segments — Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) and Connectivity & Cloud Solutions (CCS) — serving clients across tech, aerospace, industrial, and healthcare markets.

The company delivers end-to-end services, including design, engineering, component sourcing, manufacturing, system integration, logistics, and after-market support. Its hardware platform solutions and open-source software cater to OEMs, hyperscalers, and cloud providers worldwide.

Founded in 1994, Celestica has built its edge on speed, precision, and strong partnerships in high-growth industries like AI and data infrastructure.

Positives :

  • Celestica’s firing on all cylinders — its CCS segment drives 68% of revenue and 79% of earnings, fueled by booming AI hardware demand.
  • Margins keep climbing, with CCS hitting 8.3%, thanks to surging 800G switch sales and deep partnerships with top hyperscalers.
  • The company keeps beating analyst expectations — a clear sign of strong execution and relentless data center demand.

Concerns :

  • The stock’s already priced for perfection — valuation looks stretched versus peers, leaving little short-term room to run.
  • Heavy dependence on a few big customers could sting if any cut back orders or shift suppliers.
  • Some analysts see the stock as overheated, warning of a possible pullback if the broader market wobbles.
