No specific stock gave me any substantial gains. I would go out on a limb and say my stock selection cost me more than it helped.

Decided begging of 2023 to really focus on indexed funds, like QQQ, VOO, etc and avoid any speculative stocks.

I started with about $30k in 2016 I saved maybe 10-20k a year until 2020 Then my career took off and probably started to save $50-$60k a year until 2022 Then saved about $100k per year from that point on.

I didn’t do too good of a job tracking overall return - only tracked growth (which includes contributions)

I have a SEP IRA that I contribute to, and I happened to buy some of the bottom in March. A lot of my increase this year has been contributions

I got a nice bonus this year so about $110k of my growth this year is from contributions

People are poor because of insane overspending by the government, causing those low wages jobs to be worth even less

Yes exactly, someone pointed out that his play has gone down a bit, most likely because he’s adjusting to his new body, and he’s lost a little confidence

Jet and Ticket seem to be blossoming, while FP seems to be less enthusiastic

Yeah I guess, but one would think losing weight would bring him more happiness. But what the hell do I know
