How are your investments doing?

My gold and silver continue to do good. I bought BTC (bitcoin, kinda) it's down and bitcoin will now be found out as a scam. Bought Nvidia, also down. That was a gaurenteed hit. Waiting for them to go out of business.
I bought Norwegian cruise lines after the scamdeminc ended. Everybody is going jump on a cruise ship. It's down 20%

Enough about your good investments , how about your under-performers? 😂

Isn't it nice to bank profits rather than have paper profits.
Yes it is.
You're learning.
Bah, I’ve had a Fidelity trading platform for 15 years. Been buying & selling a while.
Just don’t know what opportunities are out there right now!
I feel like tech is a bubble or about to be one.

I like the looks of mineral, petroleum type of investments, but they are probably slow growth. I took a shot on a critical minerals company, but it’s been a bust.

This is mostly fun money-nothing serious. I have larger sums in mutual funds like FXAIX that are doing the “real work” towards my retirement goals

I cannot believe how much gold and silver have done for my retirement.

At some point in the near future, I'm going to cash out of my gold and silver to build a new shed.

Swapped my FXAIX for FGRTX and FLCSX. All are blended funds but the two I swapped for seem to be doing a few percentage points better. All seem to be invested in the same companies but at different percentages.

My experience investing in single companies has been bad and I stick to mutual funds.

We switched from mutual funds to ETFs on the advice of our investment advisor. Usually the company has both types of funds with similar objectives. ETFs trade anytime, not just at the close and with lower or no fees. So far ours have done well, still above the 10% annual target we have set.

IMHO, too much volatility in the market right now.

One would think HealthCare and RealEstate holdings to be doing well, but...

FDRXX and looking at short term CDs.

FXAIX at 14.3% for the year. Not bad, but looking for alternatives. I have plenty plunked down in there. I worry about the looming tech bubble. It’s gonna happen.

I also have FGRTX and it is like 23% this year.

it seems everyone is worried about the looming tech bubble POP, yet most are staying in, hoping to ride the rise and then be among those clever ones who get out in time.
All I can say is, good luck.

So far so good. Tech is not going away. Up 31.5% YTD for me. Yes, it's a roller coaster lately but the numbers don't lie...really depends on how you are investing, short or long term.

I have too much in FSELX, Fidelity Select Semiconductor, but have made a ton on it. The price swing for the year has been, up to $37, down to $22, up to $47, down to $41!

Told my wife we had lost over $20,000 two days in a row and she wanted to know if I was upset and I told her it was still priced a dollar/share higher than I had hoped for it reaching at the end of the year.

My plans for the next year is to hold this fund until it reaches $60, if it ever does, then diversify into other sectors.

Fingers crossed.
