    This is a "paper loss" as I haven't sold a share yet, with most of the "losses" coming from TSLA, CCIV and PLTR.
    Reading this three months later is interesting. February had 0.23% growth, March showed 3.08% growth, April 2.63% and May 0.81% (all numbers are new excluding contributions). The money is 50:50 stock:bonds, with the stocks mostly dividend and consumer staples, and the bonds being mostly high-yield and munis.

      I tend to agree how it's all playing out this year.

        Stocks only go up...NOT.

        I dumped all my CCIV & PLTR holdings but still own TSLA. It has recovered a bit since then but I'm still in the red for a large batch I purchased in Jan, 2021

          I'm confused by your response, which implies I think they always go up. (Otherwise, why would you have written that?)

          After all, there have been plenty of market corrections, and people who need their money during those corrections are screwed.

            Snap, didn't realize there's a question in here for me.


            Haven't bought any stocks except ticker O when it was in the low 60s high 59s. Saving rest of my money on a medical machine for my wife that cost 60k, but it'll produce an income of about 30k/year.

            So total buy in is around 570k, current portfolio is at 4.2 million. Haven't sold a share of anything.
