My first investment was in SNE when PlayStation hack happened in 2009 if I remember correctly. At that point I was all excited about stock picking. Lost 20% in 2009. Lost 30% in 2010. Another loss of 10% in 2011 and literally lost everything in early 2012. Thanks to bigger gambles to recover my losses. Took 1 year break and started reading more on finance and not even following CNBC etc. Not to mention mentally I pissed off and bit frustrated. It was not that bad since I grew up as very poor when I had worry for dinner. But starting 2013, I have been scoring 100% +percentage every year. This year being best with so far around 210% return. Should I just stop trading stocks at this point and move money to money market fund. All my investment were after extensive studies but sometimes I feel like it was just luck.
Just put your money in broad low cost index funds at a company such as Vanguard.
Very lucky you are. Stop now if you can but you most likely won’t. When you eventually lose big you will learn the lesson.
That’s just the market
This The market started picking up strong after 2011. But yea, 210% in 1 year is pretty good.

210%? 😱 where did you invest? Guuuuuide us
That's awesome
No company in particular. Just try .5% to 2% everyday. I get up at 4:45 and then do some trade premarket and then from 6:30 to 7:15. Then trading for the day gets over.
Well done! There's probably some luck involved. Might be a good idea to diversify across different types of investments if you haven't already, this way if you get some bad luck you don't lose everything.
