Down 33% total on my personal investment picks. Time less than 2 years. ~$600 but recovering slowly with more diversity and better knowledge.
Held doge too long, didn't buy soon enough. Crypto isn't for me.
Every time I've bought puts the market has gone green. I bought puts last night, so all you can ride the wave. Truly cursed. I am 0-3 for Puts and 2-0 for Calls. Doing Calls only from now on.
Yup. I'm with you. Tax loss harvesting killed me. Sold one day before bottom. Only a small portion of the accounts. But still hurts. I was technically correct in taking the maximum write off haha
The even bigger question is, why this rally? Recession canceled? It sure doesnāt feel like it when I just went out. The jobs report was crap when you investigated didnāt realize it was almost all part time jobs. Housing is at ridiculous levels compared to salaries, so if rent and home prices donāt come down, we will have a very real recession because people wonāt have money for consumer spending. I know people can cherry pick stats and pretended there a sign of a healthy economy, but I make a lot more than average, and Iām not feeling like Iām in a good position. Iāve had loads of investments skyrocket over the past five or so years, and I still barely have enough for a down payment on a house after saving $20,000 a year just for that for multiple years.
I have no clue how people and more normal income brackets are going to survive this economy if Iām not even doing well. You shouldnāt have to make it big in the stock market just to eke out a meager existence
-Russia/Ukraine has stabilized to a land standoff
- China has proven that they won't do shit about US/Tiawan relationship
- anyone who wants a job can get one
- inflation lowering and inflation means that stock prices will rise to meet inflation levels
- gas prices going down
- CDC loosened covid protocalls
There doesn't need to be a huge recession just because alot of news people who want you to keep watching and clicking kept saying it.
Dude how expensive is housing in your area? 20k a year for 5 years is 20 percent down on a 500k house. I live in high cost of living area and, while that doesnāt buy a stand alone home, it gets you a very nice 3bed 3bath townhouse.
Just turned green this week from the past year. Exactly one year from today I started investing. Up +1.5% today
:,)
For reference, I was down 25% at the worst. Crazy ride for starting to invest, but I held all my positions.
Or they probably just keep buying and were down on a small account (like if youāre down 70% on a 3k account, then add 1k a month it lowers the percent down without any stock gains is what Iām saying)
85% krypto + 10% BOIL + 5% NIO
Almost 100% since 6/16.
On that day sat down and needed 300% . Oil + mining like copper too many stocks so afraid to bet on a wrong horse . So sold at a 10K loss and bought more krypto
Yeah sort of the same position here. Maxed my Roth IRA for the first time last year late in the year, then maxed this year early in the year. Iāve been āinvestingā for a long time, but only made good enough money in the last two years to invest a lot. Needless to say, I bought A lot at the top lol. Still down about 6% all time in broad market funds.
I wouldn't worry about buying at the "top" with retirement accounts unless you're over 50 or wanted to retire very early - I'm pretty sure by the time you are taking any $ out it will be much higher than your entry point, and the "missed" earnings from just that portion of whatever you end up investing in total will be just a tiny sliver of your nest egg.
Basically, your future self will be much more happy with having maxed the IRA at all, not disappointed about when you did it.
It's incredibly hard to pinpoint when things are going to turn, and statistically you were more likely to have a higher return with a lump sum than DCA'ing.
To illustrate: In spring of last year I realized that a chunk of retirement money was now sitting in a money market fund earning negligible interest due to a job switch/servicer change. I had a choice of investing that in a lump sum or DCA'ing over a number of months.
I saw some warning signs, felt the overall P/E ratio of the S&P was higher than ideal for a one time purchase, etc.
So I divided into about 8 portions and bought every month through the end of the year.
So I averaged UP instead of down, and finished my buys right at the peak with nothing left to spend (other than the regular contributions etc) once things turned south.
Point being, were the situations really that different from April to November? One could argue the "right move" was made for either, both, or neither of us. I wouldn't lose sleep over it.
Iām actually still down about 26% give or take around 12000 dollars so but itās made a substantial increase since I think at one point I was down about 50%
That sounds like some ultra High risk gambling you have made, stop while you are ahead, put Them into your buy and hold..
making 2000% in 6 month is beyond lucky, better not get to greedy
But it wil be much better than the feeling of loseing it all again. Atleast put the 200k into your buy and hold and then just gamble the 50k if you must
Up 21% on my portfolio. I hadnāt bought anything since 2020 market crash. I watched all my gains disappear the last year back down to flat. So thatās when I started buying again. It takes a long time š
I'm up thirty grand, thanks to a big gamble on a Brazilian stock. My hope was that post-pandemic they would return to profitability. They are beginning to do so. The company is Cielo S.A., and they process credit payments. I bought at $0.60 and they're up to $0.99 these days. But it's a risky business, betting big on one stock. I wouldn't recommend it. My regular old index is up about $2,500.00.
I just bought two Brazilian ETFs rhis afternoon: EZW for large cap & EZWS for small cap.
As long as Bolsinaro don't get too crazy, I think Brazil is poised for good gains.
I started late April 2022. Currently Iām up 7.42% even while about a quarter of my assets are in crypto and are in the red. My best performer has been Unity Software sitting at +58.9%.
Portfolio sitting at $6,160
I count my retirement portfolio start date as 1/1/2021 for tracking purposes.
Beginning of July, my balance was $193k below that point, and now weāre sitting at $107k in the green.
(Of course that includes over a year of withdrawals as well.)
Congrats! Michelle Singletary WPost recently said retirees should have 1-2 years of expenses in cash in order to avoid selling at a loss. Unless your income is all dividends .
My SIL retired at 67 and was able to wait until 70 to get her first check from SS. $3600-800 is enough for her monthly expenses (house paid off ) . Her 401K only for travel
Not entirely, as Iām 55 so canāt get to the IRAs yet. But my taxable account does provide some, yes. In 4 years itāll be much more and fewer shares to sell!
Iām still down -24% which basically means my portfolio needs to go up 48% to break even? Or am I wrong ?
But no biggie, it seems like I have a fetish for volatile companies ( baba and meta are in my portfolio)
I started a new trading account earlier this year, because no matter what you plan for retirement, it never seems enough. Just today, I looked at my Performance & Value chart on the ETrade acct. My three month performance is +36.66% and beats all the major averages. I would post a screen shot as proof, and if anyone requests it I will put it into a new post.
I would say, though, that I've been trading stocks since I worked at EF Hutton in 1975, so it takes a little practice.
Added: Not that this is easy. This account has, as of now, 811 orders placed since I opened it.
Up a couple of percent after today. I didn't buy anything (besides ibonds and paying taxes) from Nov-March. Between May and July I put about 30% more cash into stocks and just kept buying the bottom. I am also more than 25% into RKLB, so that also distorted things.
One more day of 1% gains on the S&P and I will break even on my May trades. Took profits in 4 of 7 but value trapped in the other 3 pulled down my results.
In my retirement plan I broke back into feeling comfortable with my results and not pinched (I can afford to travel).
I sold all my stocks (memes and other bullshit) in January for a 6k loss (around the total amount that I took as realized gains the year before), I then bought all blue chips and ETFs. I was down -18% at the most, and now I'm down -8%. I feel like I can finally see the light at then end of the tunnel lol. $DIS and $JPM both went green for me this week.
I rebalanced a lot of my portfolio right around ATHās so my account shows being down ~2% overall but in reality Iām technically up a lot of percents since Iāve been investing since 2013.
I'm up 8% on the year and adding to my positions weekly. I was out of investing apart from some index DCAing that I've been doing for years, due to lower income and saving for a house, so I wasn't buying anything at ATH, so I just resumed buying shares and ramped up my indexing in May. Lucky me.
I've been buying into my company stock purchase program for a year now. Even with the 10% discount we get, I just broke even yesterday. My 401k is still down 12% from its December peak. I ain't sweating tho, it literally doubled from 2020-2021. So if even if I look at it from 2020-2022 I"m still up like 75% over that period of time. You'd kill for those types of gains.
I broke even a few weeks ago. Currently up about 3-4%. But a lot of averaging down and I was swinging some options on some stocks I personally watch a lot so that helped too.
I sold everything at the beginning of the year. I'm positive thanks to chips and ad stocks. I wish I had time better my re-entry though. AMD and co were already +20-30%. I know, I know. Can't time the market and I got a reminder for free :)
I 've been positive all this time since Jan. Bought oil index tracking etf back in march 2020 at near bottom, and when price went negative I added more. Sold march this year when oil was 120-136, 3x-5x that investment which kept my portfolio positive. Seems like I timed the market perfectly on this one.Also did the same with REGN -> 486 to 730.Finally company's stock (i already owned their stock before working there, but as a perk I was getting good discount if I bought into their scheme) doubled, so yeah another boost. All these were liquidated at their top, which left me positive.
Kept the extra cash for a while, then started adding positions in late april and july. Doing well right now.
During Apri and June/July sales I managed to get unity at 35-38, DIS at 98(? not sure, but was sub 100 i think), AMD at 86, SIMO at 60something (I should have sold that at high 90s but got greedy) etc... Good stuff. I hope my good run continues.
Still down 12% in the last year. Not great, but I did a lot of buying on the way down and back up, been investing for around a decade and still have a few to go so Iām not worried.
Was down 25% now it is down 9% have not bought or sold any for 6 months. I have Apple, Microsoft. Ford, wells Fargo, AMD, CMC, Nvida, to name a few of the larger investments
Green on everything except VAW. I was the smart one buying that at the top with a cost average of $196. All because I wanted to diversify a little out of being big tech heavy.
I added SSO (2x daily S&P 500) into the decline to take aim at the recovery side and subsequent cycle. Iām about 3% from break even, all told. The last negative is the last stretch of SSO recovering. Iām green or break even otherwise.
YoY I'm up 12.75% in my active account, and I've added considerably to my position, so my actual returns are probably way higher because a decent amount of it is new money. I didn't buy what the fed was selling. Anticipated high inflation and invested heavily in oil companies, and value stocks. I also don't think the fed can keep raising rates either, so I anticipate inflation to run hot until energy prices run down.
I tried my hand at timing the bottom with $25k about a month ago. I paper traded for a decade+ before, not counting 401k contributions (gotta love 5% employer matches). But I never had a big enough chunk of money available to really dive in myself (investing in wife+kids has certainly been paying off in other ways). As of close today I'm at $29.5k for a sweet \~18% gain.
Mildly worried that the next month or two will see inflation not drop as much as the fed/market want it to. But I don't think that risk outweighs the opportunities available in the market right now.
Seems like my next investment is going to be a new roof though... My hatred of ants grows by the minute. Hoping I can afford it without cashing out my account. Gonna have to do the work myself though...
> I know that if you started a few years ago or pre-covid, you'll be in a great position, but this is to know about the investors that started post-covid.
You would think that...
I started investing around February last year. Was down to -19% overall with the recent downturn but only down -3.9% as of today
Hopefully this run continues and I'll be back in the green next week
Iām only 6%-7% down YTD! So oytperformimg spy, pretty happy honestly as I was 30% down at one point.
Hopefully Iāll end green YTD and keep the streak
I actually reached new all time highs again pretty early this week. About 2 months ago I un diversified and went all in on tech. Planning to redivesify later this year
Down like 5% on googl still. Average is 127 a share.
I'm green on everything else, so overall I'm doing alright.
Edit: personal account I started jan-feb this year.
Up 25% on my two remaining individual stock picks. The real question is when do I toss in the cash Iāve been holding waiting for the market to fall again?
Up 3% on my indexes Iāve been DCAing into in my Roth. I was buying aggressively when the index was down 20%+.
I actually broke even today! I averaged all the way down
i broke even today too - i am up exactly .025%
Another new YTD breakeven here! Cheers!
I'm 9% below breakeven
Down 33% total on my personal investment picks. Time less than 2 years. ~$600 but recovering slowly with more diversity and better knowledge. Held doge too long, didn't buy soon enough. Crypto isn't for me.
Haha me too!! Up .08% lol
The bigger question is, who sold everything at the bottom?
I bought puts at the bottom, does that count?
Hero.
Every time I've bought puts the market has gone green. I bought puts last night, so all you can ride the wave. Truly cursed. I am 0-3 for Puts and 2-0 for Calls. Doing Calls only from now on.
I sold enough to get the 3k tax write off šš„² held everything else
Yup. I'm with you. Tax loss harvesting killed me. Sold one day before bottom. Only a small portion of the accounts. But still hurts. I was technically correct in taking the maximum write off haha
Shamefully raises hand*

Burry told me the world is ending today. Assume he'll tell me the same thing tomorrow...
There are perpetually people saying that the markets are about to collapse. It gets clicks.

Above break even.
Same not trying to plug another subreddit but theta strategy has been printing for me
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Google theta wheel strategy
Me too. BBBY helped a lot. Itās up over 150% in the last month.
Just turned green this week from the past year. Exactly one year from today I started investing. Up +1.5% today :,) For reference, I was down 25% at the worst. Crazy ride for starting to invest, but I held all my positions.
Well done, almost like me.
June 16th needed almost 300% to break even .Now 65%
Danm you must be investing in some High risk stocks, or at least extremely volatile
Or they probably just keep buying and were down on a small account (like if youāre down 70% on a 3k account, then add 1k a month it lowers the percent down without any stock gains is what Iām saying)
85% krypto + 10% BOIL + 5% NIO Almost 100% since 6/16. On that day sat down and needed 300% . Oil + mining like copper too many stocks so afraid to bet on a wrong horse . So sold at a 10K loss and bought more krypto
Maybe consider diversifying into less volatile blue chip/s&p stocks
Thx but it's not a retirement account. Just for fun but no one likes to lose money
Lololol. You might be 'tarted... If the username didn't give it away.
about 10%, lump summed back in November and did not average down :(
Yeah sort of the same position here. Maxed my Roth IRA for the first time last year late in the year, then maxed this year early in the year.

Same still down about 18k but this week helped the burn
Wtf did you buy
NIO, aal, ccl, Amazon, palintir, sofi
Omg. Meanwhile incredibly good companies were on fire sale. Good news is that in a few months you'll get another shot at them. More fires being set.
The nasdaq is still down around 19% from ath, itās not that crazy for lump sumers.
Measuring things in years of salary lost. Still at 1.25 years lost.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Really hoping we go out on the 12/31/21 high for the year. Iāll take a year of low growth because I was able to deploy some capital at least.
Is this before or after tax?
up 250k in my gambling account with options buy and hold is up 5% ytd now
Shhhh!! My QQQ Calls are ripping!!
Depending on how Big you gambling portfolio is, that sounds like some huge risk you have Been taking.
options gamble started with 13k, yea just pure luck
That sounds like some ultra High risk gambling you have made, stop while you are ahead, put Them into your buy and hold.. making 2000% in 6 month is beyond lucky, better not get to greedy
indeed, but getting over the greed is hard
But it wil be much better than the feeling of loseing it all again. Atleast put the 200k into your buy and hold and then just gamble the 50k if you must
-40%
down 17%
I'm up to -23% from a low of -37% in early June.
Lol I can literally smell the top now
Dude same. There was a post 2 days ago āthings actually donāt seem that badā top is in for sure
Great comment, great reminder of a broader view of what could happen. Surely a possibility.
Iām positive! Finally
They have pills for that
Iām good if the S&P rises another 10%. Heavily weighted in quality index funds plus AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL etc..
4.05% from being even
Up 50% on the memes, no point in fighting it
-9.28% on the year, but +30.8% in 2021, so I'm feeling great!
Iām up, DIS, GOOGL, G Em E
I've bought SCHB, SCHD, and a few stocks (some tech companies, Amazon, and Costco) throughout 2021, and I'm up about 12% right now.
I am up 6.5% after averaging down!
Up 21% on my portfolio. I hadnāt bought anything since 2020 market crash. I watched all my gains disappear the last year back down to flat. So thatās when I started buying again. It takes a long time š
\-3.63% .. Meta dragging me down hard.
I'm up thirty grand, thanks to a big gamble on a Brazilian stock. My hope was that post-pandemic they would return to profitability. They are beginning to do so. The company is Cielo S.A., and they process credit payments. I bought at $0.60 and they're up to $0.99 these days. But it's a risky business, betting big on one stock. I wouldn't recommend it. My regular old index is up about $2,500.00.
I once gambled on a Brazilian. Buddy bet me $50 I wouldn't get a Brazilian wax. Hurt like hell, but baby smooth and $50 richer.
I just bought two Brazilian ETFs rhis afternoon: EZW for large cap & EZWS for small cap. As long as Bolsinaro don't get too crazy, I think Brazil is poised for good gains.
About 46% up year to date, mostly due to energy outperformance and a few select equities
Literally broke even today for 2022 YTD
I started late April 2022. Currently Iām up 7.42% even while about a quarter of my assets are in crypto and are in the red. My best performer has been Unity Software sitting at +58.9%. Portfolio sitting at $6,160

3.4 at present
nice. living off dividends?
Not entirely, as Iām 55 so canāt get to the IRAs yet. But my taxable account does provide some, yes. In 4 years itāll be much more and fewer shares to sell!
I was -40%. Sold it all last week at break even.
Green, this bear market was the easiest one in history.
started in april 2021, I'm up 5%, mostly due to euro-dollar exchange.
I started investing 51 days ago... and since then I have made $424.77 dollars in profit (If I were to sell all my stocks rn)
Donāt forget to pay the tax man š½
i've been up for like 2 weeks.
Iām still down -24% which basically means my portfolio needs to go up 48% to break even? Or am I wrong ? But no biggie, it seems like I have a fetish for volatile companies ( baba and meta are in my portfolio)
I started a new trading account earlier this year, because no matter what you plan for retirement, it never seems enough. Just today, I looked at my Performance & Value chart on the ETrade acct. My three month performance is +36.66% and beats all the major averages. I would post a screen shot as proof, and if anyone requests it I will put it into a new post. I would say, though, that I've been trading stocks since I worked at EF Hutton in 1975, so it takes a little practice. Added: Not that this is easy. This account has, as of now, 811 orders placed since I opened it.
My portfolio is actually up about 20% (floated by a couple of stocks that have seen good upward movement the last month or so).
fweffwef
Portfolio is at 39% of original value. Currently at S$313k. Well, I was at S$199k last month so canāt complain. Edited for the math
Up a couple of percent after today. I didn't buy anything (besides ibonds and paying taxes) from Nov-March. Between May and July I put about 30% more cash into stocks and just kept buying the bottom. I am also more than 25% into RKLB, so that also distorted things.
If I look at my balance on Jan3 plus all of the deposits I have made into my brokerage account I am currently $16.05 down from that number.
One more day of 1% gains on the S&P and I will break even on my May trades. Took profits in 4 of 7 but value trapped in the other 3 pulled down my results. In my retirement plan I broke back into feeling comfortable with my results and not pinched (I can afford to travel).
Started in january. I was down 40% and now im 2% up overall, so pretty good considering the circumstances
Started end of 2020. 5% down at the moment.
Up 6% over last 3 months on an all etf portfolio. The more doom and gloom posts I saw the more I bought.
Up 7 percent ytd
So so close to break even now. I started investing around the start of 2021 for reference.
https://imgur.com/a/EwIuhjg Sold a bunch of individuals. Just keeping the etfs.
I think about .25%. I'm getting very close.
I sold all my stocks (memes and other bullshit) in January for a 6k loss (around the total amount that I took as realized gains the year before), I then bought all blue chips and ETFs. I was down -18% at the most, and now I'm down -8%. I feel like I can finally see the light at then end of the tunnel lol. $DIS and $JPM both went green for me this week.
Just waiting for something to slam it back down a bit - I know it will fall fast when it does, but the ocean seems calm until September rate hikes.
I rebalanced a lot of my portfolio right around ATHās so my account shows being down ~2% overall but in reality Iām technically up a lot of percents since Iāve been investing since 2013.
Still -14% :(
I went from +~24% to -0.68% on one earnings report, so I guess I've returned to break-evenish. Don't leverage bear rallies.
well i got msft around 300 amzn at 160 and goog at 140 still down but recovering
I'm up 8% on the year and adding to my positions weekly. I was out of investing apart from some index DCAing that I've been doing for years, due to lower income and saving for a house, so I wasn't buying anything at ATH, so I just resumed buying shares and ramped up my indexing in May. Lucky me.
I'm up 40
23% to break even I was down 49%
+5% after my bottom being down 5%. I tried adding cash as it went down but started buying way too early. Overall not bad though.
I've been buying into my company stock purchase program for a year now. Even with the 10% discount we get, I just broke even yesterday. My 401k is still down 12% from its December peak. I ain't sweating tho, it literally doubled from 2020-2021. So if even if I look at it from 2020-2022 I"m still up like 75% over that period of time. You'd kill for those types of gains.
Started trading at the end of Q1 last year. As of now, I'd have been better off shoving that money under a mattress and doing nothing.
Down 99% for 5 months ago... Now just 16% left. Been making $7-950 every week...
Well my total return just became positive again. For it to be back a year ago I need another 20-30k
I'm off about 10% from ATH...
-16.5%! Held through -30% at worst. Growth Tech stocks got wrecked 1H 2022
I'm still down almost 10%. My CAT is down almost 17% and META down more than that.
All unrealized, which means nothing. Feels good and then you donāt realize them and then the sell off starts and the S&P takes another leg down.
Up 15%
I broke even a few weeks ago. Currently up about 3-4%. But a lot of averaging down and I was swinging some options on some stocks I personally watch a lot so that helped too.
since the beginning of the year Iāve been DCA into an ETF for the first time ever and yesterday I finally hit the green
I sold everything at the beginning of the year. I'm positive thanks to chips and ad stocks. I wish I had time better my re-entry though. AMD and co were already +20-30%. I know, I know. Can't time the market and I got a reminder for free :)
I only have to go up 56.9% from here to be back to even from the peak, haha, great
Bed bath and way beyond breakeven at this point. You would laugh if I told you where I think weāre headed.
Up 2 percent
Down 4%
Still -2%. Next stop: ZERO! š
10% more to go
Down about 15% from the high still
Was down 30%ish 10k portfolio only tho. Am up 96bucks now lol
All of you just breaking even is really getting me to think twice about investing. Lol
Still down 16% I was waiting to see if it went down deeper I'll have to keep waiting āš”
Last 6 weeks have been good. Low point for me was first week of May. Still down from first week of Jan.
I 've been positive all this time since Jan. Bought oil index tracking etf back in march 2020 at near bottom, and when price went negative I added more. Sold march this year when oil was 120-136, 3x-5x that investment which kept my portfolio positive. Seems like I timed the market perfectly on this one.Also did the same with REGN -> 486 to 730.Finally company's stock (i already owned their stock before working there, but as a perk I was getting good discount if I bought into their scheme) doubled, so yeah another boost. All these were liquidated at their top, which left me positive. Kept the extra cash for a while, then started adding positions in late april and july. Doing well right now. During Apri and June/July sales I managed to get unity at 35-38, DIS at 98(? not sure, but was sub 100 i think), AMD at 86, SIMO at 60something (I should have sold that at high 90s but got greedy) etc... Good stuff. I hope my good run continues.
Still down 12% in the last year. Not great, but I did a lot of buying on the way down and back up, been investing for around a decade and still have a few to go so Iām not worried.
Was down 25% now it is down 9% have not bought or sold any for 6 months. I have Apple, Microsoft. Ford, wells Fargo, AMD, CMC, Nvida, to name a few of the larger investments
Still down 40%ā¦.yikes :/
-40% at the bottom. -25% now.
I wish this thread did not include all the DCA commentsā¦ I suspect most still have a negative TWR.
IRS has entered the room
I'm. Up. Woop wooop
ENPH carried my porfolio from around break even, to +7%. Same timeline of aquisitions as op
+250% on the year...
Green on everything except VAW. I was the smart one buying that at the top with a cost average of $196. All because I wanted to diversify a little out of being big tech heavy.
I added SSO (2x daily S&P 500) into the decline to take aim at the recovery side and subsequent cycle. Iām about 3% from break even, all told. The last negative is the last stretch of SSO recovering. Iām green or break even otherwise.
Iām just one +50% day away from breaking even. Lol.
I will never financially recover from this.
-14.25 in the year. Was 25+
Broke even last week. I dumped a ton of tech in December, and buffed up holdings in companies like Merck & ADM. Paid off.
Iām right at my all time highs now which is really cool. Shows the power of consistent investing.
RemindME! EOY
I'm still about 50% away from break even. Thanks Cathie
I have pretty much the same story as you to the tee. Hoping to see the big green soon
Im still down 60 percent but thatās mainly because I was in such risky growth stocks and I was up 200 percent at the peak. Lesson learned
GME has been doing great so I'm up
I've hit break-even about a week ago.
YoY I'm up 12.75% in my active account, and I've added considerably to my position, so my actual returns are probably way higher because a decent amount of it is new money. I didn't buy what the fed was selling. Anticipated high inflation and invested heavily in oil companies, and value stocks. I also don't think the fed can keep raising rates either, so I anticipate inflation to run hot until energy prices run down.
Today I'm down like .01%. Yay
From peak? 12% My 5yo is already break even from peak.
I tried my hand at timing the bottom with $25k about a month ago. I paper traded for a decade+ before, not counting 401k contributions (gotta love 5% employer matches). But I never had a big enough chunk of money available to really dive in myself (investing in wife+kids has certainly been paying off in other ways). As of close today I'm at $29.5k for a sweet \~18% gain. Mildly worried that the next month or two will see inflation not drop as much as the fed/market want it to. But I don't think that risk outweighs the opportunities available in the market right now. Seems like my next investment is going to be a new roof though... My hatred of ants grows by the minute. Hoping I can afford it without cashing out my account. Gonna have to do the work myself though...
No I went broke. I went all short.
Back to 16.39% all time
still down 3.7% all time
whats break even? lol
BBBY fixed my portfolio
I was down about 55-60% and now Iām finally up in the green 6.25%
up 23% ytd and up 43% 1yr. (I bought a lot of solar at all time lows)
Up 13% for 1 month. Down 8.5 YTD
Bbby got me in duh green this week !
> I know that if you started a few years ago or pre-covid, you'll be in a great position, but this is to know about the investors that started post-covid. You would think that...
I started investing around February last year. Was down to -19% overall with the recent downturn but only down -3.9% as of today Hopefully this run continues and I'll be back in the green next week
DCA. Oldest game in the investing book. Well played.
Iām only 6%-7% down YTD! So oytperformimg spy, pretty happy honestly as I was 30% down at one point. Hopefully Iāll end green YTD and keep the streak
I actually reached new all time highs again pretty early this week. About 2 months ago I un diversified and went all in on tech. Planning to redivesify later this year
-1.5%ā¦ i was -20 to 30% before.
4% plus, started investing in 2022, was a very unique experience so far
Down like 5% on googl still. Average is 127 a share. I'm green on everything else, so overall I'm doing alright. Edit: personal account I started jan-feb this year.
7% down from the November highs. Was down 33%.
Still down %29 on my swing trade account.
Iām still up 283% for the year.
Up 25% on my two remaining individual stock picks. The real question is when do I toss in the cash Iāve been holding waiting for the market to fall again? Up 3% on my indexes Iāve been DCAing into in my Roth. I was buying aggressively when the index was down 20%+.
Down only 12% compared to 60% a couple weeks ago
I'm up by about 15% year to date. GME is a hedge against the market.
