Sounds like AMZN.
No, I ALSO bought the trend, lol! So far my $2635 has turned into $4289. In the next 1-5 years I am projecting $20-50K out of it. Not a bad investment for such a small sum of seed money! AMZN just doesn't have that much room to grow t hat fast, and I also happen to be a tiny bit impatient, wanting a pay-off/cash out in the 1-2 year range, ideally.
How's your account doing today ?
When Mr P said there will definitely be "hand holding" from the Fed.... I immediately put some money in leveraged 3X ETFs. I'm really not into picking individual companies.
Many folks are doing very well picking companies that got beat up a few weeks ago.
That's why they're the only ones posting. The ones that are below average don't have any stocks/mutual funds so they have nothing to post about.Continuing to get rich slowly by investing in low-cost index funds. We also added some EE and I bonds to the portfolio in the last month. Seeing as I can't predict which stock will go up when, I prefer to own the whole market. Stock picking is more akin to gambling, than investing.
I guess all the posters in this thread are above average, of course.Are You Making These Money-Losing Investment Moves?

I mean the "average" investor, not average American. This thread is full of the top-end investors that only pick winners!

It's easy to win when the entire market is going up. I'm doing ok, but there are funds that attempt to return 2x-3x what the S&P 500 does and if people had jumped on Tesla last year they would be up multiple times instead of maybe just 14% like the S&P 500 index year to date. Of course the drawback with those funds that attempt to multiply the S&P 500 returns, in a down market they're actually much worse than 2-3x losses.I mean the "average" investor, not average American.

This thread is like my brother who seems to only win when playing blackjack. The casinos just give money away.
