Hey, I am 20M in college with ~ $30,000 mixed of stock winnings and internships.
Main portfolio: GOOGL, AMZN, TSM, AVGO, SPGI, EFX, BN, COST, NVDA, META
Smurf portfolio: GS, JPM, MA
I took profits on ASML, MRVL, AMD during last week. I think swapping AMD for NVIDIA is actually a great move, because I actually think NVIDIA is underperforming relative to custom, semi equipment, foundry, and memory. Their prospect for 2026 look quite attractive adds stability heading into rocky first half in the stock market. Adding a ton of exposure to financials during November period suited my portfolio performance well during later half where we see sector rotations all of those picks mentioned above yielded me 10-15% gains in 1-2 months.
Right now, I am building up my cash position again with around $5,000 for dip buying.
Here are additions that I think make sense at the right price (not now) to the portfolio:
GE Aerospace (GE)
Lam Research (LRCX)
PNC Financials (PNC)
Caterpillar (CAT)
Morgan Stanley (MS) to the smurf account?
My focus is not on purely gains, even though in 6 months of investing I have stocks that nearly or doubled like GOOGL, AMD, ASML. My focus is on quality like wide moat, stewardship, some momentum/compounders, themes. Let me know if I am wrong like overdoing anything, or suggestions that make sense to the portfolio doesn’t necessarily have to be cheap right now, but I will keep on my watchlist.
Thank you!
