Everybody gets that feeling of wanting a do-over from time to time, especially when it comes to managing money. If you had the opportunity to go back and do things differently with the knowledge you have now, you know the outcome would likely be far more lucrative.
Going back in time is, of course, impossible. What you could do, though, is learn from the investing journeys of these three Motley Fool contributors. If these three had to build a stock portfolio from scratch starting with $15,000 right now, they would split the money across DigitalOcean (NYSE: DOCN) , Veeva Systems (NYSE: VEEV) , Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) , as well as an S&P 500 index fund. Here's why these three stocks have their attention.

It's competing against giants like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, and it is succeeding.
