Damn. Stock market took a dump today. I probably lost $50 k today
whats your positions now? Are you just gonna continue to hold and not realize anything?

Past few weeks my remaining gains were erased a bit as I sold my QQQ. Now I am only sitting on 25k of unrealized gains.

I started new positions a few days ago in META, GOOGL, AMZN.

I hate to say it but I have been indecisive. I have been holding as the market keeps on going down and down. I can sell but then what? I have no plans as everything is expensive. I do not want to be cash heavy.

Investors are just cashing in their gains. We had a massive bull run so I wouldn’t be surprised if the market continues to struggle. Is the Fed going to decrease rates when inflation continues to be abnormally high? This is just a weird market.
 
No % for YTD. Probably in the 20s. BABA outperformed while small caps lagged.
 
YTD, I’m 24-27% return on retirement accounts and 14% return on dividend based brokerage account…despite making huge reset switching/streamlining to 1 investing platform and playing around too much, trying to figure out how I want to build my dividend based brokerage account. Looking to be waaay more intentional for 2026

Yeah, looking back, I’d attribute my gains to intentional allocations towards international funds (usually ~30-40% international across all accounts)
