[quote=ltsddd]Investment wise, 2020 ended up being better than I expected. The numbers:
Overall: 18.5%
Day-trading: 35% (15% came from the premiums for selling calls options)
Best/Worst Holdings: TSLA/SLB
Everything being considered I am quite happy with the results. Especially how little I was stressed out considering what a volatile year it was.
Happy New Year everyone. Let’s hope for a better year in 2021.[/quote]
percentage wise I’m pretty sure I’ve done much better than most,… have not calculated the exact YOY percentages of my portfolio but thanks to a highly concentrated position in a computer company that just released a processor that is getting rave reviews AND is expected in a few years to tell QCOM its chips will no longer be required because they have developed their own in-house solution,… ALONG w/ seed money I threw at an EV company,… I’m hopeful my luck continues
looking at the bigger picture the simple truth is,… the vast majority of people in this country don’t have the luck or luxury of a stock portfolio that grew overall at 18.5+% AND/OR had rentals in desirable (i.e. less effected neighborhoods) in 2020,…
going forward my hope is people/political-leadership find peace w/ themselves as well as one another,… the reason I say this because the only reason I think some of us were able to financially profit in the middle of a pandemic shit storm is because the global economy runs on “dollars”
simple truth as I see it is, luck (i.e. being at the right place at the right time) should be considered because as I’ve seen first hand the results of mis-management can come fast and hard

There may be negative consequences, but I don’t see us going full former USSR anytime soon (and I lived 15 year in 5 former soviet republics). So be vigilant, exchange investment ideas, don’t be afraid to put more skin in the game. And be damn grateful that things worked out as well as they did in-spite of everything.
