You've got over 100 grand in a penny stock?!I put in 2k today on 10 different ETFs. I was going to do just 3 but I just decided to spread it out. Even if many of the ETFs hold the same large caps companies I feel better this way. I'm holding on to 125k in MMA and thinking of putting 1k a week.

You partly missed out on a pretty epic bull run since the Great Recession then. If you had been adding from 2009-2021 you would have done very well.Valuations are still too high for the individual stocks I would ever consider putting a meaningful amount of money into.
The last time I bought stocks was the Fall of 2022.
The time before that was during the GFC in 2007-08.
The time before that was after the epic meltdown in 2000-01.
Have to wonder how the quant gods over at Renaissance Technology are doing. In 2008 they actually made a 152% return!
Renaissance technologies has some shitty funds that are open to outside investors. Anyone can buy shares with pocket change.My old fella casually mentioned years ago he was offered an opportunity to invest some money at a 'ren tech' but it was minimum 10 mill. It sounded like a scam so tried to search up some info to dissuade him. The finance subs clued me in on renaissance but I'm still not sure if it was a legitimate offer or not as he hates talking about money and clammed back up when I kept asking questions.
You can't put your money in unless you work for Renaissance Technologies, and you can't work for Renaissance Technologies unless you have a PHD in physics, statistics, or something like that
Have you thought of letting your cute canine pick stocks for you? Take a dozen paper plates and write the name of a stock you’re considering buying on each plate. Then put a treat in each plate and see which one she goes for first.I was doing ok in stocks but getting destroyed in crypto, which was keeping me on the red, but thankfully now Im getting absolutely reemed in stocks so crypto isnt my biggest loser anymore
I think Im qualified to start a Youtube crypto show now
The kid wins again
I didn't miss out on anything. I'm talking solely about individual stocks I buy for my brokerage account. That entire time period you cited I was still employed and DCA'ing into my retirement accounts.You partly missed out on a pretty epic bull run since the Great Recession then. If you had been adding from 2009-2021 you would have done very well.
Anyway...Alphabet is a money making behemoth and is trading at 17x earnings right now.
Price to earnings/growth is less than 1. It's 0.9. etc, etc.
