Does anyone still invest anymore? I thought the stock market was a mere shadow of it's former self, what with all the manipulation and insider knowledge diddling going on (for far too long). With cost-accounting being ignored all value is applied by using "gut feeling" or 'whatever the rube will pay" gambits.
I started investing during the corona dip. Best financial decision of my entire life. These days, it's an extra 20% of effortless household income and the entire portfolio value is up almost 40%.
But even then I felt I was just too late to the party for going into crypto. Thank goodness.
Got into crypto December 2017, which was a high back then, and then everything dropped 50%. But just held on. And so even though I've made a nice chunk of change since then, I'll still hang on and wait for it to happen again.
I did the corona investathon as well. I'm not sure I have any of the same holdings I did then.
I think of it all as gambling, and I treat it as such. I have an $800 limit, because if I lose $800 it doesn't hurt too bad, but if it goes up 1000% (looking at you BMR, you sweet sweet whatever you are), then you make a bunch. So just gambling.
Then there's the retirement vehicles. Booioorrrrriiiiinnnnnggggg
