VLO through my 401k.
On an amazing run.
I feel like a congressman (without the insider trading).

Crypto success stories also welcomed. I personally am in the middle of my journey with ABBV, XOM, MSFT, GOOG, AAPL and NVDA.. I’ve got a little BTC as well, and just went in pretty big on SPCX.
My company was bought in Feb 2020, rolled over my 401k into a self directed IRA, took my entire rollover and bought a mortgage REIT's pref Stocks on April 6 ~$6/sh. Prefs went back to par + dvds in arrears.
Life changing trade.

AMD $2.60/share
Only bought 200 shares.
Today it was $633
Wish I had bought more.
AMD at $3.00 a share
Bought 300 shares
Even watched go down to $2.00 a share and almost sold thinking they were toast.
Wish I had added.
Got 50 shares LOW at $20.00 a share and watch it go through a couple splits.

My stock market investing has been slow and steady.
My biggest hits were in real property. One house that I lived in near City Park quadrupled after a decade and i downsized. An investment duplex in the 9th ward quintoupled in 8 years. 200 acres in MS tripled in value in 5 years. My stocks kept pace with the market...I still regret not taking Wikitigers advice on bitcoin around 2013...I had uninvested funds at the time.
Still, I'm doing alright and I see the light at the end of the tunnel to retirement.

the lesson holds true..... Slow and steady wins the race

I agree. I think you should have a base level of boring investments covered first. Then take some swings. Realizing won’t hit every time but if you hit on 6/7 of the 10 turns out nice.

VRT from ~$13 during Covid. Wouldn't say life changing but definitely feeling much better about retiring in the next 5-6 years after my son graduates college.

They will have to grow 50x or more in 5 years to justify the stock price. Not saying it can’t happen, but where is the upside? I would reconsider that position. Good luck

People don’t understand this. This is just based on hype like Tesla is. I don’t invest in products that I don’t trust, Tesla, or the financials is out of whack. Right now I’m big on TSM, Oust, and AXP. I’m not sure which chip company is going to dominate 15 years from now, but I do know they will was TSM to manufacture the chips

I pulled 4 Michael Jordan rookie cards in 1986. It was about an $8 investment. PSA graded 9.5, 9, and two 7.5’s. Still have them, worth a lot.

Commercial space travel on a daily basis is going to open up so many new markets. The revenue generated per launch will be insane

I cashed out of market completely the day before the crash in 2008 based on a report from Sheppard Smith on Fox News.
Not sure it was life changing but definitely a boost in what the portfolio is worth today.

Sadly most people just can't see the long term benefits of investing and compounding. Account worth $10,000 goes up 10% and now they have $11,000....they feel like they aren't getting anywhere. It seems so small. And they give up and go play somewhere else. Drives me nuts.
