I salute you.
I own three of them, with a good chunk at risk.What a party. In my infinite ambition ( you can call it avarice if u want) , and appetency for more krabby patties, I wanted no change. Sorry guys, the economy by far is my number one issue and the Street does not like instability and chaos.
I have never had a better 4 years in real estate investments and stocks. And I have been doing this for 30 plus years. Both slapped at the same time. It was magic. But change is coming. I hope it’s a good change. PT and Vista say the new guy is some kind of business savant so I expect the good times to roll.
I don’t need another house. I drive the car I love, don’t need a Rolex my Apple watch is just fine. I guess I’ll just keep stacking racks and see what happens. Continued good health for me and my family is the only thing I wish for now. And that, no one can buy.
Good luck to everyone in 2025.
And yet your boy Joey Bag O' Anti-America does this ... what's the reason? Who's paying him to do this?
Let's hit a billion and then buy USC a NC like Uncle Phil
I own NVIDIA's shadow, LRCX. A lot of it. Like 1.2 M worth. Though it started out as a $200,000 gamble. Uh, investment
I was forced to buy meta. Sold a put and it sank. Funny thing is, today I'd spin right out of that dog to avoid buying it. So as usual, my ignorance or doing nothing winds up being my greatest asset. Bought it at about $200-300K and put another 50-100K in over the last few years. It's worth 1.1 m now
Tesla I was forced to buy at $230 See Meta story above. Same deal. Lost a $500,000 gamble there. But it's also worth 1.2 m now. Except I have to sell it at 350 and 355 in March if I don't do something. So either it will drop below the 1.2 and I keep it or I keep playing option games to get the strike price up.
Amazon I bought for $160 a few years ago. Went all the way down to $100 Maybe even below. So this 44% this year is fool's gold. That's a recovery. Its at $220 now. I have made money, I have about $500K in it. I am not retiring on Amazon anytime soon.
Bought Alphabet after reading the Google book about 10 years after it was published. Day late. Dollar short. Like San C. Bought for $127 now $193. Held it about 3 years. Only have about $150,000 of it
Apple-originally bought it for nothing in 20111-12 Told the story a million times. Forces out 2-3 years ago with a dumb call. My $200K had turned into $2.8 million and I was then handed a giant tax bill. This is when my CPA told me to stop screwing around. This would be before San C and you told me to stop screwing around. And DEFINITELY before I made my first of 500 promises to never EVER do this again. I have bought back into Apple slowly over the last few years. $160. It's at $242 now. Wish I had more. I have $305,000 or so
Microsoft-like IBM always wanted to own this and never the right time. Finally threw like $5,000 in and there it sits. I own 17 shares. Whoppee. Bought for 374 and its 425
The Apple I was forced out of I put about a million of into TQQQ. That has worked out. Last few years it has gone frpm purchase of $30 to $80. Some dividends and some options and all that pushed it to about $3.5 mil now.
I didn't realize these were the MAG 7 and I owned them all. Then again, don't they always change? Wasn't Netflix a part of this not long ago? FANG? Facebook, Alphabet, Netflix and Google? Always changes.
I didn't buy any them knowing they were some FANG or Mag 7 thing. Just hot stocks with momentum and in 2-3 cases, I was betting against them and lost. Forced to buy and then rode the elevator up. I am not especially brilliant with stock picking but I am bold. And fortune favors the bold.
