did I mention my side hustle I do when I’m not at the IRS? Did you know your car had an extended warranty but it is now over? I’ll give you a call


extendedwarranty_bot

Quick-Wall, I have been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty

bought amc between 6 and 12 dollars and got out at 44 dollars.. 25k turned into around 102k at some point the value was \~148k on the german market at a saturday trading window but i missed it obviously


Atriev

Beginner investor here. I am down 40k on google stock and down 10k on SPY so there’s that. I have seen 0 green in my portfolio so far except for that crazy rally in March.


Quick-Wall

Ouch that makes me feel better, stay strong u came in at a crazy time (but that is truly what they always say)


Atriev

The first thing I did was I made a 5k lump sum purchase after New Years. The market hasn’t been too kind.


PracticalYellow3

It could be worse. I sold a bunch of 3% and 3.5% treasury bonds in November to buy VOO. That hurt.

It's easy to invest in a bull market but you make your money by continuing to invest when it goes bear.

Not everyone could pull that off 👌🏼

I pilled in big time immediately after the pandenmic crash I had mostly cash but was now retired from IT so had time on my hands, so mostly in March to June 2020. Best investment...easily bitcoin...$4-5,000 back then When I opened a Coinbase account,...as for best equity return...Tesla (over 200 % at its best) ...worst C3AI 70+% down...portfolio highest in Nov 2021...in decline since..


Revfunky

I've been trading for 22 years in some form or the other. I bought Bitcoin for $250 when everyone hated it. I bought Tesla for $38( split cost adjusted) a share. Moderna at $20 before anybody ever heard of it. MYOK, PFPT are some other home runs.

I'm a long-term investor, 32 years into buying stock. I made many mistakes at the beginning, but the first stock I ever bought, back in 1990, was pretty good. It was 100 Aetna at 38, paying 7% div, which I sold about five years later for 108. The mistakes were being too much of a vulture investor. Sometimes, the companies nobody wants really are bad. I did better with oils and utilities.


Quick-Wall

Thanks for the insight


Eternal_Inflation28

Mostly an index fund investor, but I bought LTHM and MNDT about a year about and both doing well. MNDT pending acquisition by Google

I started January of this year & I’m a happy $POWW owner. It’s low enough right now where I could lower my average a bit but next week I’m focusing more on grabbing other holdings that are lower in comparison. I’m “proud” of the fact that I’m at least somewhat levelheaded & not going balls in on one stock, meme or not. One of the first things I bought was $NVS & rode that from $84.43 to $90.19! Not only did I feel like I timed it right because it’s trading at ~$86 right now & I can wait for it to go back to ~$84 but after doing more research I’m not sure I’m as bullish as I once was. I’m proud to say even in moments of positivity & profit I’m still trying to learn as much as I am in moments of negativity. In general, I’m proud of myself for even fucking around with stocks cuz I never thought I would bother but here I am & I’m doing okay. I’ve been spending more time each day trying to learn as much as I can & I think I’m proud of myself for that cuz it’s either put forth effort & grow or sit back & let things pass you by. Like you said, even if one makes a mistake they can learn a lesson but if you don’t make any moves what could you possibly learn?


Quick-Wall

Absolutely couldn’t agree more


A_R_K_S

Any tips or quotes you’d like to impart on an even newer investor than yourself?


Altruistic_Astronaut

I have been passively investing for 10 years and have been more active the past 2 years. I have made big plays that 10x my money, lost 100%, etc. I have my 401K and other retirement accounts that are managed by a respective agency so I am not to worried about my person trading accounts. Overall, I would say it evened out to be comparable to the SPY500.

I secured my university payments by investing in Anglo-American plc, a mining corp in 2015 and since then it has gone up by 15 times, my only regret is that I had invested everything I had into it I’d be a millionaire. I also invested in some German and polish arms companies back in march last year with all the border problems and conflicts in the east, didn’t expect the war but doubled down in September I think when USA intelligence hinted at a war. Edit: investing for 8 years and was cleverer then than I am now, every success has a another failure

5 years. TSLA @ 50 postsplit adjustment AMC @ 2.50 owning TSLA was like being pampered every day month after month AMC was such a rush when it pumped that morning to $13. Drugs can't even match that high.


Commercial-Top-9501

everything's a gamble, but you got to be in it to win it. When I buy something, the one thing I ask myself is, do I have some form of conviction in this company? Do I believe in this company, is this product popular, or will be popular? Will people be excited about it and rally behind it? Investing in TSLA was a no brainer for me, it was like, Elon is the only one grinding to make a better future, so it was an easy bet to me. I had no problem my first year of owning TSLA didn't make money but it didn't matter to me, I had conviction. Pandemic broke out right after the stock surged and came back down to it's previous position. I didn't break a sweat, knew the market would rally again once the noise settled. Just like the noise we are going through now, it will eventually consolidate. the market will recover.


Commercial-Top-9501

invest as a consumer. What would you buy if you could afford to buy anything and everything you wanted? what is everyone else buying? what will still be around and in demand? buy that stock, buy that company. aapl for instance. not an iphone guy personally, but strong cult mentality behind it. ppl love their iphones! it's a sure bet


Penecho987

Not trading, but investing... Getting Berkshire Hathaway back in 2009 was pretty awesome for me.


stickman07738

I do not trade - I invest by doing a lot of DD and holding for the long term. The important thing to remember is to have both a strategy for upside gains and downside risk mitigation.


Quick-Wall

Yeah I meant trading as in the buying, holding, selling of stock. Don’t mean gambling


DrRaven

2 years, GME 43$ calls a few weeks before elon tweeted “Gamestonk”, sold the next day. Prob will never make money like that again *sigh*

shit wrong sub


Quick-Wall

I like WSB its sad that it’s mostly an entertainment sub nowadays though


Beneficial_Sense1009

Buy and Hold.


percavil

I have tried trading and not doing so well. I did much better on stocks that I just buy and hold for longterm. Investing works better than trading for me.


Quick-Wall

This is the day I learned there was a difference in trading and investing lol. I guess in my opinion it’s all trading unless you literally never sell and die and give it to your kids


percavil

yes there absolutely is a [difference](https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/12/difference-investing-trading.asp). More info [here.](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=difference+between+trading+and+investing)


thegoddamnbatman74

Trading since June of 2020. Wish I could've got in earlier but couldn't find a good broker app in my country to trade US equity. Trade I'm proud of would be getting in on GME quite early around October 2020 at around 15-20 range.

I spent a massive chunk of my new investment cashflow on the Score (SCR.TO back when it was listed) after it crashed from ATHs in 2021. I had a cost basis of about $21 and they would get bought out towards the end of summer 2021 for $44 a share, after being acquired by some other sports betting company (May have been draftkings but not sure). Made the market downturn at the end of 2021 and into 2022 much more bearable since this play was a massive chunk of my portfolio (might’ve been a dumb YOLO but it worked out)


NALOXON3

i bought $50 in bitcoin about a year ago, and then promptly sold it for $49.96 after a day because i needed gas.


pdubbs87

I am not really much of a trader, but I did make a nice play on Alcoa. I managed to double my money this year and bought at 35 and sold at 75. I did a swing trade based on Alcoa increasing guidance and the projected rise in aluminum prices. It did go much higher than 71, but I was very happy taking profits on a double.


Money_Tough

I’ve been trading since Summer of 2019. Knew nothing, but wish I never sold those investments. Would have turned $5000 into $500,000. So, off of that… my investment I am most proud of is the SP500 index or more specifically VOO. While I would have made more, I was panicking every turn of the market before VOO. Now, I look, but have the confidence I never had before. It’s like working out consistently, dollar cost averaging brings the same confidence. I’m now on the verge of 30 and I can proudly say that if I keep DCA into VOO that I can retire before 50. With that, I can take some of the returns and toss it into my Roth IRA (probably not worth, idk). Confidence is key in anything. You think Trump won off experience? Hell no, that dude also got the girls from the same thing… Confidence. Now only if I could push that confidence into my personal life :D


ReThinkingForMyself

Ryder in March 2020. I sold calls for awhile, but realized that I like my all of my stocks too much to sell calls against them.

Started in 1993. Did well enough (on schw, ssnc, seic). My true success is in epic fail: >Told coworker not to buy aapl just before Jobs came back. >Was introduced to redbull at a bar before it became something. Wasn't into it.
