You say you "analyzed" and "created financial models". But did you actually put money into it? And if so, did you make money?

Yes, I made my investment decisions based on that work, though not from the beginning. My first "investments" were of the kind: ah, stock XY dropped by 50% in a day, it must be cheap now.

I made some money, otherwise my savings wouldn't have lasted so long. But I failed to make enough to make it sustainable.

That's reasonably impressive.
