2. Facebook 6 months after the IPO. I had this strategy talked over with my dad and I just didn't end up following through.
3. Target just after the pandemic hit
Yeah, I could talk about missing Apple and Tesla, but I don't think they're misses. They didn't fit with my portfolio, my portfolio already has a lot of Apple because of the index funds, and I still think Tesla is a crock of ****.
I'm hesitant to get into any individual stock becuase I just don't do enough research on them to accept the risk. I've always liked Cramer's rule of one hour per week per stock. I have held McDonalds since it was like $10 and my company's stock because it's basically a small index fund in itself. That's about it. My dad has suggested I need to get a brokerage going because I'm going to start hitting 401(k) caps and I need to get more money in non-tax-advantaged accounts for some extra liquidity.
I'm still thinking about getting in on Twitter though. I just see that as the platform moving forward over Facebook. "People" and organizations no longer use Facebook to communicate. It's dead. Twitter, on the other hand, is the platform. I don't see that changing any time soon. I just don't. And right now is the time to get in after its "trump correction".
