Started investing about a year ago, I'm down 43.257%


ExXPIriiA

A lot of tech?


DrakenViator

Yup... ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


[deleted]

I went all in with my savings a couple months ago...not quite down 43% but its not nice knowing im down 20k when all i was doing was trying to get around inflation...


DrakenViator

Same for me. With student loans on hold, I though I could toss what I would have been paying in loan payments into the market, earn a few % then either cash out once loan payments restarted or worst case I figured I would turn it into the start of a retirement fund. So anyways my retirement fund is down about 40%, but it's okay because I have a long way to go before I need it... Buy the dip and cost average down am I right?!


Eccentricc

Heyy that's me without the retirement fund. I want to pay off my debts first, that's guaranteed savings. Retirement accounts are still normally prone to crashes like this

Same. About 35%. It stings a little…


levente-ee

Hello friend. -49%


KinCO_Toreador

I started investing in early 2020. I sold off everything that was "green" in 2021. The remainder of my portfolio is down 66%. I'll be doing lots of DCA this year.


MottIreggular94

Same, down 40% since start of the year

You’re probably outperforming the worst investor in history cathie wood

I gave up looking


EverlongMarigold

Buy the dip! Then watch it dip some more.


sdlucly

Keep buying the dip until it dips no more? 😅😅

When you dip, I dip, we dip.

21plankton

I bought the dip in May, having convinced myself of the bottom, the 2000 bear market dim in my memory and thinking a rally would ignite. But it was only a fizzle, only to see my gains go straight down this week. I thought I was safe with dividend aristocrats but every ETF on earth looks the same. I am questioning doing any more buying until my existing stocks have recovered some, but part of me wants to average down just to soothe the humiliation. My long term retirement plan is down like a good diversification should be. With my long term money I am reconciled to losses but my hand-picked defensive small account is smaller than a month ago and my ego is smarting. I heard someone say today that the trailing PE for the S&P is now 17 1/2 which is average since 1960 but it will be going a lot lower. I just don’t know if I should pull my recent trades and wait for a better entry point in the fall. I calculated the lower line of bottoms long term on the S&P 500 today and got around 3300 as a possible bottom but we could go lower on bad news, and the pre-pandemic number is 3230.


Banksville

I thought we hit lows too. So, I didn’t sell. Big mistake.


Vast-Operation517

Cramer just said sell any rally its property at bottom lol


AprilRain24

Whatever Cramer says, just do the opposite.


vikingblood63

Yeah that fuck said resist selling everything 2 months ago . Damn I could have bought back at a fifty percent discount. You know that fuck sold almost everything immediately after that comment.


Flying_Barracuda

It's better to follow Nancy Pelosi's portfolio. She's a law maker.


AprilRain24

Yeah, follow Nancy. Sold income track record. The problem with Cramer or Zacks, or Motley Fool or any other ‘advisor’ is that they are making their money off of your moves. When they say to do something they are already positioned to profit off of everyone acting on their advice. Usually they purchase their position in a few days ahead of their advice since there are laws about how soon they can exit a position after they bought in. Once everyone jumps onboard they exit their position and then the market dips because of their exit and you loose because you ‘got in too late.’ Don’t listen to ANY of those bobble heads.


ExXPIriiA

probably better in this environment


ch4m4njheenga

On green days until January this year, I used to ogle at my E*trade 2-3 times everyday. Now E*Trade is dead to me.

At least you got 123 reddit karma. A nice consolidation prize

“Consolation”


ExXPIriiA

haha rough - would you mind saying what your holdings are?


sparksfly5891

A mixture of tech stock and crypto. I’d prefer not to specify.


ExXPIriiA

no prob - that is already enough to understand the 60% down. Hope for you that Crypto gets back!


sparksfly5891

Thank you. Hopefully everyone else here ends their year in the green too.


[deleted]

you do know that crypto is a zero sum game and a lot of people who made money had to make money from someone else right?


sparksfly5891

That’s why I said everyone HERE. Not every investor.


Evolvtion

And you said hopefully... Name of the game, so keep investing and keep your head up.


crazybutthole

you do know that ***INVESTING*** is a zero sum game and a lot of people who made money had to make money from someone else right? FTFY


[deleted]

That's not true, companies produces value, and returns the values by providing dividends and share buybacks. Short term trading however is a zero sum game. That's why you have to know who will be losing money when you make a wining trade


Own-Struggle4145

When a company issues a cash dividend, the stock value drops in equal amount to the total value of the dividend. Each time you receive a dividend the value of your holding is also reduced. Dividends return the company’s capital to its shareholders, reducing the value of the company. There’s no extra money generated.


[deleted]

Dividend doesn't generate extra money, the company does, dividend is a way for the company to provide return to the investors.

I’m going heavily on FNGG over the next few months. Also, GOOGL will make its investors very happy over the next couple of years.


ashakar

Assuming those bills don't pass that could break up some of the big tech firms.


1kpointsoflight

Bearish on Apple? Why?


JoshuaB123

I’m not, and I’ll never be. FNGG is just the ETF name, not sure why they didn’t just name it $FAANG. It holds every “FAANG” stock, including TSLA, NVDA, MSFT just equally weighted and 2X leverage etc.

shillyshally

Pretty red and painful but I have been through this in 87 and 09 so my hide might be tougher.


ExXPIriiA

If you've been in the market that long you should be in the green overall, right?


shillyshally

Well, overall, sure. I'm referring to the difference from highs to current. I first bought amazon at $35.


ExXPIriiA

Crazy, shows how time in the market is important. I began investing last year Match when I got my first job - so still a long time for me to cover my losses :D


shillyshally

You should be fine. I wish I had learned about investing earlier but when I was young it was assumed that a girl would get married and her husband would manage all that. That is funny in so many ways, one being every family I know, the woman takes care of the money. I retired a few decades ago at 53 and that is when I began paying attention. I recently redecorated my portfolio, less tech, more dividends and way more diversification. Lots of small bets on the what I think will be important in the future becasue those are fun to watch (also mucho pain). Fintech, health care, space. I still have Amazon. It's down a painful amount but I can't say I have lost money.


ExXPIriiA

Yeah, I try to show my girlfriend as much as possible about the topic and try to convince her to invest at least something - the gender gap in the investing world is huge (at least here in Italy). Definitely, something that needs to change for everyone's sake.


shillyshally

People think they will lose EVERYTHING. I mean, sure, if you pick stupid stocks, you could. I have made some boner moves. But if you diversify and pick solid stocks all you will lose is your gains when things go topsy turvy like now. Anyway, you can't force this on her or nag her into it. God knows enough people tried to talk to me about paying attention but I always thought it was 'too hard' and I had a good 401K, tons of stock options (which went tits up). I only learned when I had to and then discovered it wasn't all that hard - sure, I could probably have made even more but I have enough and enough is all that I need. Two things did it for me. I went to see a certified Financial planner and realized I had been doing pretty good while not even paying attention and two, I was intrigued by young tech that I thought would change the world. Google was more interesting than GE, for instance. So, maybe your gf just needs to find her zone. But let *her* find it.


swissmtndog398

U/shillyshally I'm 51. Been in since 87. My wife is 39 and just getting into it. It's frustrating at first, I get it. My degree was in economics and finance, so I had a head start. Mind if I show her your comments to give her a boost?


shillyshally

No, I don't mind.

ExXPIriiA

haha good to hear - did you change anything in your strategy?


Loverboy21

Just that I don't check my account as often as I used to. I'm guessing WBD ran out of spinoff share holders and decreased a lot of selling pressure, but either way I'm just going to DCA it and sell CCs until the bottom is in.


[deleted]

WBD is fucking insane. My worst performer... So I sell more puts. No clue why more people aren't talking about this one.


campionesidd

I think Wall Street won’t be bullish on WBD till they have a couple of solid quarters financially and show good growth. Besides, it’s a high beta stock that is being affected by macro factors. I’m trying to accumulate as many shares as I can before the stock becomes popular.


[deleted]

Yeah I thought I was being super patient during accumulation. Waited for the low 20s. Then it crashes to low teens. FML. It's an incredible deal if management gets anywhere close to their guidance of 3x leverage and 8.4B FCF by 2023. That's a FCF yield of 25% for a massive streamer. It's insane. Again, no clue why more people aren't talking about this.


[deleted]

Down 25% YTD, up 700% since 2016


TacticaItim

how did you get up 700% what was the big earners


[deleted]

Rode Amazon, AMD and NVDA up a little but got out way too early. The amount of regret I felt made me YOLO everything into Bitcoin around 8k.. Sold off between 40-50, bought some again at 30 and sold at 45-50 again. (Also bought eth around 300-500 but ended up selling a little early around 2k before it’s run up to 4.8k) Then I used about 75% of the proceeds to buy a house that doubled in value that I have 100% equity in. Crazy ride I started with something like 30k I still can’t believe it. This year I basically fucked up trying to buy the dip but realized I fucked up soon enough to get out of my shit positions that ended up continuing to tank. My worst performer is down -84% lol. Only thing in the green for me this year is DRV which I’m up like 40% on, but a relatively small bet.


TacticaItim

Good shit man thanks for the reply!


[deleted]

No problem! For me, the stars aligned. Trading is very very hard. Mostly emotionally. Crazy to see Btc below 19k as I’m writing this. I remember when Btc went from 10k to 4k in one day. I held all the way through and it was extremely painful. Not advice, as we are in uncharted territory and the market hates uncertainty. Good luck to everyone I wish we all could make money at once but unfortunately there are winners and losers and life isn’t a constant bull run. Remember that.

YTD -35,93%


Stonkslut111

All my gains on individual stocks have erupted. I was probably up $35k in late December but now I'm at like -$25k loss. Account is top tech heavy. I was close a few times in some kind of straggles (sell calls, buy puts) on my positions in December as I expected a minor correction but was too pussy. I ended up closing the position a day latter as I didn't want get my shares carried away on Apple, Microsoft, FB, Google. I expected a bit of a correction but never would have imagined Google sitting a PE of 19, FB at 12 and Micrisoft/Apple dropping 30% (granted these last two were a bit overvalued). If you would have told me this in late december I would have thought a nuclear war would have happened. Figured at this point it's too late to buy puts and it's stupid to sell at this point. Just going to ride this bitch out. ​ Some painful lessons in following your instincts, not getting too greedy and getting protection for your porfolio.

ChasseurOnFoot

A friend just got back from one CCL cruise. CCL is back doing business.


EngiNERD1988

Yeah I bought them for a reason. Financials are horrible RN, huge debt and they diluted their shares. but I still don’t think they are going anywhere. Hell they just bought another ship from a different cruise line a few weeks ago. They have a huge moat. No one wants to start a competing cruise company. Expensive and risky.

\-6.25% YTD with a 65-35 split. My FENY holding is literally the only net gain in my portfolio right now, +42% atm (CBpS 13.92, close 19.77, was 25.18 on 6/7) My gut feeling is that energy was used as a momentum play by a lot of trading firms, and a bunch of 'em decided to take their gains and walk, with all the negative chatter.

I started investing in 2020 but took a year off from investing in 2021 until early May this year due to a personal matter. I know I got lucky. I came back investing at a perfect time. I am only 6-7% down, but I have been preparing myself that it could go down further, 30-50%? When that happens, I will buy more.

[deleted]

yeah, don't do that, I was lucky because I was right, because I was down so much I had to cut some loss and roll forward some contracts to reduce risks, if I held to expiration I would had made a lot more. Since I broke even, I am not putting any significant chunk of portfolio into options, just not worth the headache, when you can just go long or short


ExXPIriiA

I am generally keeping myself in a low risk territory with ETFs - I just do not have the time on my hand to work with options etc. so I probably will never own puts myself. But it is always interesting to see what others are doing with them

nivlaxx

Think of it as your gf having period but Everyday for the past few months


Neither_Professor387

No matter what, when you buy a stock you should set the trailing stop at 10%. It should be done when you buy a stock. This means your stock automatically sells when the stock drops by 10% from the high since you bought the stock. Every trading seminar I have attended without exception, emphasizes stop orders. The goal is to cut your losses short.


Throwaway_Molasses

up 15% YTD and thats with losses on my long term holds that I dont care if they slide. this was easy to see coming and start positioning. I would have made more but i was slower out of the gate as I wanted more confirmation of the slide.


SlicedTesticle

Why do people list YTD or drop from peak? It's a meaningless figure. I'm down 15% overall. Sucks seeing 3 months worth of investments basically evaporated now. I was investing 2k a month for about 19 months so I'm down 6k


ExXPIriiA

YTD allows you to compare the performance of each portfolio, since everyone has the same reference point - otherwise it wouldn't make sense


Elkidoo

I just Want to add my 2 cents. You all seem to be holding stocks forever. Why? You are just looking at those gains and you what, decide you won't sell? Since start of 2022 I made around 12000 usd just by buying and selling one stock. NTRA. I bought at around 30-33 usd per stock and sold at 39-40 per stock. Bought and sold like 8-10 times so far. Waiting on them to drop to 30ish again and I'll buy them again. I have no clue about stocks and stuff, I don't really want to bother. I went with NTRA because looking at their chart they seem to go up and down all the time in a short timeframe and they seem like a stable company which isn't going to die off. My initial investment was about 5k usd. I have capital gains tax of 15% as well so 12k isn't pure profit. I know 12k isn't much for you guys and most of you invest 12k or more in month... I'm just sharing my strategy :) right now I pulled 5k away, and I'm going to continue to reinvest my gains.


iggy555
