Can you explain lol? Are you saying I shouldn't check my mutual fund everyday? I just check it because I've been in the negative for almost a year and hoping it goes back to my initial investment but nope

You can check weekly but daily is stupid. Just if you do check often make sure you aren’t impulsive and do something stupid.

All this talk of retirement accounts got me curious. I'm only down 15% YTD in mine. Not bad. The growth stock allocation is getting slaughtered tho

The last couple of years have been great for beginners.
Pretty much covered the trends and ups/downs of a normal market in 10-15 years in a 2-3 year span.

Facts. I'm down >50% on a gang of growth plays right now. Oh well, not even going to trip. Continue to DCA and hope a couple turn into 3-4 bangers in the next several years. Tell you one thing though, I'm done with the Motley Fool subscription after this!

I’ve been sharing here off and on for awhile now. I have a do nothing 401k that I use for the 10% tax benefits. At its worst at this very moment, ytd I am down 9% (it was 12% two days ago).
It’s a nearly equal split between a sp500/sp400/russell 1000/us reit index funds. What’s funny is for a two year window, I’m up 50% still. That 2018 and again in 2020 drop were vicious. This is nothing folks.
In the same vain, many stocks are way down from just 1-2 years back. But still up from 5 years ago. How many are truly long in some of these stocks?

We’re in class and former reit cfo asks “would anyone not do the loan”
And I’m the only one to raise my hand. Borrower was overdeveloped (2k units owned + 2k in development) and overleveraged (100% LTV construction loan)

The long-term holds still looking very strong. Apple, Amazon, Google, and Workday are my four longest holdings, some well over 10 years.
What's killing me is the choices I've made on Motley recommendations. I finally signed up maybe 1.5 years ago after my Dad kept telling me to do it and I'm getting slaughtered on everything besides Zscaler. Fiverr, Appian, Lemonade, Shopify (they were just hyping that **** again when it was $1300), Digital Ocean, and to a lesser extent Lam Research, Toro, JD.com and Upstart (in about $125 and watched it run up to $400 and held... fml). Straight slaughterhouse.

Same. But in their defense, they suggest we hold for a few years.

Agreed. Their track record is very solid. Bad timing though for sure on lots of my buys. I continue to DCA into a lot of the plays and won't be selling for several years.

I work for a media company and we did a spot for AWS, it had me intrigued as they were talking.
