I should have sold NIO when it was up 30%. I've got 90s baseball cards worth more than my NIO at this point.
I sold some at end of year. Planning to buy a little soon. I think they’ll be a little movement in March near next ER. That will be the time to sell again maybe depending on the ER. It certainly isn’t helping me towards my next boat. If I had kept what I had in AMAT (as discussed earlier in this thread) I’d have enough just in that stock to buy my next boat 😌
How's everyone's 2026 starting out? I just took a peek at my 2025 re-cap numbers, and it was a fantastic year investment wise. 16.2% returns on my 401k for the past 12 months! I have roughly 80% of it divested into the S & P 500, and the other 20% into a few varied conservative funds. I've got 7 years until retirement. The Roth IRA stuff is doing quite well also. The yearly cap was raised this year if you're over 50. It's now $8600 per year. Bitcoin is all over the place. I'm not making any big moves buying or selling. Just staying consistent with regular DCA.
Meh. 2025 was okay I guess, the dumb tariff stuff stumped what should have been a better year. this is a 401k
Having a good start to the year in the roth
doing okay in the regular stock account after a turbulent 2025
Just waiting on one major Wall street bets stock to go to the moon (VRME) before cashing out most of that. unlikely I know, but there's rumor that a merger is looking good, we'll see!
Overall. I wish I was this guy.. He sold today. I would quit my job at 8am tomorrow if I was him.
Welp that didn't last long. Mr Tariff just sunk the markets, unless you have silver or gold..
Same as last year, first couple weeks of January were off the charts green. Now we sink again... I need to check out of this planet for a few years.. then when normalcy returns I'll be back.
What concerns me about this tariff warfare, other than we are paying for it, the WH seems to have a strong grip on the international markets as well as our portfolio. Tell me, what could you do - globally- with prior knowledge of whom and when a country or product would suddenly have a tarriff applied or have a tariff removed? Somewhere, some folks, are lining their pockets beyond belief I'm sure.
We have politicians who's portfolio makes Warren Buffet look like a small time trader.... unfortunately none of the insider deals at government is a new concept.
I am, however, very thankful that it not longer cost 85 bucks to fill up my Toyota with diesel. We're back up to 3.40 ish per gallon now but two weeks ago we were down to 2.89 a gallon for diesel.

Got into a little discussion with a guy at the marina today. He refuses to accept the fact that the current politicians are just lining their pockets everyday. However when I mentioned that ALL politicians appear to be in it for themselves every day, for decades and decades past, he was sure quick to agree about one side. Dude is so blind that it's us vs them, and not right vs left.
US markets open at 8pm tonight for 24 hr trading, and 4am tomorrow for pre market, if we don't drop down across multiple sectors other than silver and gold I'll be surprised.
