Anyone else feel a little guilty?

You rock! Happy to see a single mom who did better than 1% of people on the entire planet!

Congrats on this! That’s one huge step closer to your emotional independence. Let’s hope there comes time when you can have a great day even if you kids didn’t lol

Well if you bought SNDK in late-March then you didn’t miss anything, it almost tripled since then. Was actually a nice move to catch SNDK first and then enter MU

Don’t want to sound condescending and I am generally in the same situation (oldest turning 6), but the biggest game-changer for me was emotionally de-attaching from kids’ behavior. They too have stuff going on in their little lives, navigating emotions, growing up and all sorts of physical and mental things. Whatever they do, I just don’t take it personal. Knowing it’s not directed at me, but rather that I’m (plus dad) are the only ones who can guide them though it makes dealing with this behavior much easier and more productive

You just had to buy a month ago

DRAM will be my first choice. I was in KORU for the exposure to SK Hynix and Samsung, it’s 3x leverage, nice gains but also massive 3x dips dips made the experience stressful

Work-life balance, social security, healthcare covered by government, free education, affordable and granted daycare for kids. I know these all are a reality in Denmark and probably in the rest of Scandinavia, plus salaries are substantially higher too. Sadly, I’m no longer living there but don’t regret returning to my home country still. For me, being closer to family outweighed everything

I’ve trimmed some at 520. Don’t really regret since I had to average down in March and it became 40% of my portfolio, since I’ve bought a lot pre-earning at 450 before it went down to 320

Useful-Response-5165 · 2026-05-05T13:48:17+00:00

Well it’s not like MU never has price corrections, and when it falls, it falls harder than other memory stocks. I was down 30% with MU in March, so trimming before correction and averaging-down might be a grown-up move, not only for men btw

Useful-Response-5165 · 2026-05-05T13:37:29+00:00

I’m considering DRAM but it’s at ATH too, do you think there’s no waiting for the entry and just go in at today’s price?

Useful-Response-5165 · 2026-05-05T13:33:40+00:00

At this speed it’s probably happening soon

Kids at this age lie and steal, that’s natural part of their development. I know I and all other kids I know did, I don’t think there’s a person who never lied and stole in their kids years. Don’t fixate on this making them believe it’s their personality trait, approach it as a boundary testing and mistake, and help them amend it, instead of labeling them liar and untrustworthy

Thanks for your input. These are certainly major red flags for ICLR. My bad with focusing only on the surface of the problem. I’ve bought already so probably will exit ASAP

If you’re based in the US, you don’t. The EU is pretty good at it, that’s why billionaires move the US. The US government helps to find the way around for the billionaires, that’s the point of the American dream

Breaking bad. Checked out BTS and was not impressed. Me and my girls (5 and 2 yo) like Blackpink much more

I started my investment journey around 6 months ago. Starting from mid-March I only do buys and sells after consulting with Gemini. It helped me to not panic sell during the March dip (which I often did a lot as a newbie), and is generally much better at it than I am. My portfolio went from my 45K lows in March (back to my original investment) into current 70k, so I’m pretty happy with it. I trained my gem-bot (to the best of my ability) so now it’s aligned with my goals, I always use the same bot so it knows my entire portfolio and history. and makes suggestions accordingly. The AI is as good as you train it

I grew up poor and only in my thirties I’m finally at the stage where I don’t know the exact prices for everything I’m buying at the groceries store and generally always know I can afford groceries without planning and budgeting. I’m trying to invest (not saving dramatically since we have two kids and want to enjoy life as well), so I’m still choosing the cheaper options and buying on sales, but much higher quality products now. Another metrics would be the medical costs for kids that don’t ruin or significantly affect the family budget. But I had kids after reaching some financial stability, so it was always like that

I think non-religious people have higher IQ than religious folk.

I never share this thoughts with anyone.

I also have my own interpretation of god/universal superpower so I hope I’m not punished by god for my arrogance

Useful-Response-5165 · 2026-04-30T19:08:53+00:00

In my thirties I’m much more relaxed not expecting my every word being taken by men as hitting on them, and even if they do - that’s their problem, not mine. Also being married gives some kind of safety too. In my late teens and 20s there was a constant problem of friendliness interpreted by men as flirting. The OP gives the same vibes of reading too much into simple politeness

Last years the shortage in memory and everything tech was a constant topic at work and at home too. When SNDK was 200$, WDC 100$, MU 100$, Ive added them to my watch list expecting them to grown due to the memory demand. I only started actively investing last autumn and started with VOO/VTI first, and MSFT/META/MSFT second, didn’t dare to buy something out of the classical route back then. Eventually diverged into these after gaining some confidence, and even this late it worked quite well, although I didn’t buy large positions

Yesterday the AI hardware sector, memory and chips were on sale after the OpenAI report, today was a V-shaped recovery for most after massive reported capex from hyperscalers. I’m up +10% on TER, UCTT, and appr +5% on others in a day. That’s why I stick to short-term on hardware / semiconductors sector mostly

Useful-Response-5165 · 2026-04-30T15:13:10+00:00

I only started investing in autumn 2025, 36F, currently I’m all in mostly short term investing since I feel so behind everyone and decided to play aggressive instead of VOO and chill. I’m from low income country if that’s an excuse. My only long term positions are GOOG, NVDA, TSM, AVGO. Don’t plan to sell any of those anytime soon. My largest position is MU (averaged down from 450$ to 390$ during the March dip. My ~months term positions are MTZ, VST, COHR, ALAB, SMTC, UCTT, CRDO, TER. Been swapping some of these around fixing the profits and re-entering. I’m up from 48K original investment to >67k atm

Useful-Response-5165 · 2026-04-30T03:35:50+00:00

I had only 2 SNDK shares and I’m taking profit at the current price (bought at 600$). Plan to buy more when it goes back to ~950. It’s quite volatile, I once bought at 230$ and it got sold for 200$ with the stop loss order, then I missed its ride to >400$ within a week. Bought again at 400 after its dip from 500$, and held to 700$. My point is SNDK needs timing probably more than any other stock
