I significantly underperformed the market for years until I changed my strategy drastically in April 2025 and started catching ‘falling knives’. I’m up 180 % since April, 63 % since 2021, finally caught up with the market.

In 2021 - April, 2025 I handpicked various stocks that I thought would do well. I sold and bought them at various different times. These are the stocks I held during that time. AMZN, AAPL, DIS, MSFT, NVO, NFLX, NTDOY, NCLH, UBER.
In April, 2025 I changed strategy drastically and decided to *only* buy ‘falling knives’. My personal definition is stocks that have fallen roughly 50 % on a 5 year timeline and before my time of purchase had an additional sudden, sizable drop. I’ve attached a photo of the stocks I am currently holding and the weighted distribution, in the comments.
