Alright… I’ll just say I expect these stocks to do nothing/lose money.
But on the last day of the year I took positions in most of the fallen angel weed and mushroom stocks, small cap to micro caps.
Literal garbage throwaways… with the exception of CGC the charts are just washed out.
They are nothing more than scratch off lottery tickets basically

Despite the Santa Claus rally over the last six weeks, my IRA is still down over $180,000 from its all-time high in January, 2022. However, I'm $32,000 over my comfort zone number and $6,000 over where I was this time last year... and that includes $53,500 worth of withdrawals in 2023, so I guess I can't complain.

Maybe have more funds in broad based market indexes...? Your losses must have come from individual stocks.

Wow. That's an awful lot of bond funds. No stock index funds in your IRA?

Nope. No Blackrock, mutual funds, municipal bonds,...etc.
Based on my calculations, my IRA earned about a 10.2% ROI after broker fees. Not as good as the Trump years, but better than the market average. I was getting 12-16% ROIs from 2017-2020.

LRCX is back on track these days. It seems like 2024 will be the first growth year for WFE (wafer fab equip) in a few years. We've been positioning the company for growth, so the next 2-3 years should be pretty solid.

FSELX is a great way to play the semiconductor market without being over exposed to a single stock, although it looks like NVDA is over weighted in the index. I suspect there will be boom/bust cycles in the A.I. space, but the overall direction is up-up-up.

BOIL is killing me. Probably time to double down, but hard to do so when there's so many other compelling stories in my portfolio.

I should have trusted my gut on BOIL. It closed at $24.26 that day. It's trading at $32.49 right now...

Any guesses as to when we'll see the current bottom of this latest bloodshed? I rolled over a 401k from my last stint at AMAT and will be putting it into the market sometime this month or next, depending on how this shakes out.
