been a long time investor of individual stocks have outperformed the s&p 500 the past 2 years.
but made a huge mistake. i bought NBIS at 106 (1000 shares) sold at 97 (9k loss) and the rebought and sold for another 5k loss @ 82 a share. used the mony to buy smci and netflix and now im down 4k on those stocks so a 18k wing total and i would of broken even on nbis today. im doing index funds particularly fxaix from now on.
im not a good stock picker.
meta 420 shares my worst stock
amzn 600 shares
smci 250 shares
netflix 300 shares
goog 200 shares.
i initially started investing when the s&p 500 was at 6700 now its at 7000 and im barely 2k from break even
