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.
 
Jeff and Tesla. I'm betting money Elon has planted him here. Holy mackerel that's all you ever talk about Jeff.
Tesla Tesla Tesla Elon Elon Elon.

Yeah, before you know it, people will be singing Happy Days are here again just like in 1930.


And when they do, it’ll be time to sell...

Very smart decision on these 3X leveraged technology ETFs. I’m sure you made a little money since June 9th..... exactly 5 months ago.

Very smart choices. (y)

I didn't change my position. I was betting on companies I know and direction of the industries, and to me that hasn't change and likely won't for another 3 years.
 
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.

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.

I mean the "average" investor, not average American. This thread is full of the top-end investors that only pick winners! Someone should start an investment newsletter based on all of these winning strategies!!!
This thread is like my brother who seems to only win when playing blackjack. The casinos just give money away.

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.

But yeah, I see your point, it's always out there, people just like to talk about their winners and not their losers. Had some losers in the past like bonds, international. Just have to learn from your mistakes, I dumped them.
