Wife up 45.5% and I'm about 27.3% and driving. Went heavier in tech with hers. I made big moves into energy at bottom. Gonna be real nice next year. My Arkansas Diamond plan is about 20% up.

Up about 300% on trades made outside of retirement at last check, and just made a move to add about $1million in revenue and about $500-600k profit at main job. shite just fell in my lap at the right time.

PENN was a big part of my profit as well, but didn't get in until almost $30.

You frickers need to manage my money for me. Sitting at the kids table here with a 19% return last year.

Every time I think I'm doing well with a 14% avg return over the past 5 years I come here and realize how much I'm slacking with the mutual funds

It is nothing to sneeze at, but like you said, with a mutual fund, your really didn't have to do any work, the account managers did the work and you get to benefit from the average of a swath of companies.

Most of the people on here who are knocking it out of the park are doing so on a handful of individual stocks.....Lots of homework, lots of risk, but hopefully at the end of the day we have more wins than losses.

I'm up nearly 90% through active trading, but I was in all cash back in March and hit the bottom nicely. Given March, I should have done better, but I'm still learning.

14% is damn good for 100% hands free, time free investing

Here is my issue, if your fund only made 14% in 2020, it was not a very aggressive fund and you were very conservative.

If you are young and have plenty of time between now and retirement, you should be very aggressive, especially in the mutual funds you choose.

Go to your companies 401k list of funds and pick the most aggressive and successful over the past 3 years and stick it and forget it.

"I think we are in the same or similar Fidelity fund. I’ve actually had to adjust my contributions because this fund has grown so much is was overweighting me to tech even more than I already wanted."

There is a good reason it got overweighted.

Why would you change?
