Nobody in my family was going to leave me money.
So at 18 I opened a brokerage account and started figuring out how to make some. Not to get rich but to stop spending my best years building someone else’s dream.
Where that ended up:
I’ve put in $83K of my own money.
The account is worth $243K
So $161K of it is growth, not deposits, and that split is what people leave out when they show you a big number.
Top 5 positions:
RCL — 14.8%
MU — 13.2%
AMD — 12.6%
AMZN — 5.9%
AAPL — 5.7%
The top three are 40% of everything. I never decided to be that concentrated. It just happened.
By day I’m a corporate financial analyst. I build the models that decide where a lot of money goes, then come home and run the same process on a normal salary.
Real numbers. My own charts. Losses included.

@DividendMil Cash is a position too. Let’s you jump when opportunity arises. You can’t predict these markets, so it’s always nice to be ready to pounce on a deal.

@DudeWhoInvests It happened with the Industrial Revolution. Jobs were lost (factory workers), but jobs were created (operators). History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
