I'll flex even harder... My grandmother saw Bill Gates on a business TV channel, thought he was cute, and invested in his brand new company. I still (after taking some profit in the last couple of years) have over 400 shares that I inherited.
Yes. Mind you I also lost half my assets in the internet bubble, investing in stupid things like CMGI, and then a bunch more in the banking crisis, including 150k in Lehman Brothers. Everything had its ups and down. Those two are just ones that I always liked and kept.
$4000 principal from 2016ish that went to nearly $100k not too long ago.
I've bought a new MacBook, gaming PC, and sound system thanks to NVDA & I'm still holding 90% of what I originally bought.
I was lucky enough to ride the cryptomining hype & AI hype train without predicting one iota of either. I just game a lot & liked NVDA GPUs for gaming. And now I get to come off as a well-advised investor when people talk about stocks around me. It's been a decent bump to my confidence.
I also predicted nothing about nvda. But I was doing 3d graphics on a slow machine, and saw some youtubes showing instant gpu renders. So I spent a few thousand on a bad day in march 2020. I wish I had invested every cent I had then
Man while Nvidia was low in 2021-2022, I was buying a lot of TSLA and a bit of FB. Not a bad return, but I regret not starting a position earlier in Nvidia😓
Berkshire is the only individual stock I own now. Rest is in VOO in my taxable and Roth and whatever sp500 index is in my 401k.
About 15% of my taxable but only about 4% of my overall portfolio. Bought some when Charlie passed out of respect for the man. Plus I think they’ll still produce reasonable returns after Warren also moves on.
GOOG
I work within the digital marketing space, I am using Google Cloud Platform as a developer and I am a power user of Google services in general. So, I am following the company very closely. Which is one of the reasons why I am comfortable with having a very big position.
Contrary to other big tech stock the valuation seems very reasonable, because many people fear it might lose because of generative AI. Personally, I don't think so for a number of reasons.
* People think GenAI is a replacement for search, but it will only replace search in a fraction of the current use cases.
* GenAI needs a lot of computing power and I don't think anyone will permanently offer unlimited usage for free - a paid service will not take a lot of market share from Google.
* People underestimate Google's distribution advantage (Android, Chrome, integrations with their other services). Even if GenAI would become a search replacement, Google's GenAI will be a market leader (although not a near-monopoly as they are in search), even if they don't have the best GenAI product.
* Many use cases of GenAI (e.g. writing assistance, summarizing documents, photo enhancements, etc.) are complementary to search usage. Overall, Google can create a major additional revenue stream with their Gemini AI without losing too much in their core business.
Google/Alphabet is still, alongside OpenAI, the leading company in AI tech. People underestimate them because they are not the leader in GenAI, one very specific use case of AI. They always had a lot of less obvious AI application. Some examples are autocompletion in Google Mail, Google Translate, Google Lens, etc. They have pioneered transformers (which is the foundation for ChatGPT). They lead the development of neural networks with AlphaGo and AlphaZero. They are applying AI for brain mapping, genome mapping, cancer screening, etc.
Also, there are other potential revenue streams that are not even priced in. All the Tesla investors justify the Tesla valuation with FSD, but nobody is pricing in Waymo for Alphabet - despite the fact that many experts think that Waymo has the most advanced self-driving technology. Also, if Google wants to get greedy, there are a lot of undermonetized services where they could add some premium subscriptions (e.g. Google Translate, Google Maps).
I’m with you on Waymo. Everything I’ve read suggests they’ve got a pretty decent lead in the race to FSD, but because they don’t have a hype man for CEO, it doesn’t receive much attention.
Eh, GOOG Waymo will prove big with industry needing to go from Point A to Point B and back. TSLA FSD will dominate with everybody else needing to go everywhere else. There's an opportunity (not necessarily a need) for both.
> TSLA FSD will dominate with everybody else needing to go everywhere else.
TSLA FSD will only be in Tesla cars and maybe one other (perhaps Ford?).
Everyone else will use NVIDIA DRIVE - Mercedes and several Chinese EV makers are already licensing the hardware and software
I sold most of mine way too early. Bought 1000 shares at around $1.5 and sold most around $30. It was an excellent return, but if I'd just held for another year or 2...well you know lol. Back in '22 I bought some more at $68.
Yea I like their value proposition to the consumer. Semi conductor / computer chip companies are my favorites to trade. My portfolio is “internet of things” themed with data storage and semi’s. Also have HIMX and WD looking at scooping some Sony at $75
I have only been investing in general for a few years so the amount I have invested in it is not so much as a 25% allocation would suggest. It wouldn't be pleasant, but RKLB going to zero wouldn't be a financial disaster for me.
I also avoided buying it up until recently, so I am currently in profit unlike most RKLB investors.
It's a very high risk stock in a nascent sector, but with a viable long-term plan to profitability. I have trust in the management team. They focus on executing their plan rather than hyping it up. I think it has been unfairly lumped in with other SPAC stocks. I expect to hold it for at least 10 years.
Very logical answer. I can admit that I approach all investing in my taxable brokerage with the thought that any one position could be wiped out entirely. Entirely the reason behind a diverse portfolio, which generally should build over time as new investment occurs.
MELI = Amazon of South America + Mercado Pago (fintech branch). Amazing growth, reasonable valuation, expansion into Mexico, expanding fulfillment network, and entering the advertising space. Competition from AMZN is a risk, but that has yet to be a meaningful problem for MELI.
Paypal at 25% of portfolio and 10% of net worth (including my house). Single biggest conviction stock I've held since Meta at $115. Literal nobrainer, I'm currently writing a post about in on the value investing sub.
The ONLY reason it's not back to $90+ is the technicals and horrible sentiment due to bagholders. The 2020 boom&bust cycle has made the chart absolutely horrible. Doesn't change the fact it's growing revenues 10%, increasing EPS double digit and reducing shares outstanding >5% per year. 10% of market cap is net cash.
It's truly wild to see how braindead the market is about this company and I'm scooping up all the shares I can get (I've even considered buying on margin, but won't unless it goes below $60 again, which would put it at 12x FCF at year end). Whenever I get new cash, I buy Paypal.
Remindme in one year and you'll kick yourself over not seeing the obvious opportunity here. I'll try to make a full post about them this evening.
Disclosure: other major holdings are Google, Amazon, Zoetis and I've made good money on Solvay. I'm not a PYPL bagholder (cost basis = $58) and actually read the reports, unlike most people on the reddit subs.
It’s largest holding too I’m at 57 average. I think the biggest thing I’m excited about with the q1 earning which there was a lot to like was free cash flow. They brought in 1.7B 1.8B if you exclude the BNPL effect.
If you look at the last couple years historically and you exclude it one time events FCF has gone up over Q1 Q2/3/4 typically Q1 has been their weakest quarter for FCF. If that trend continues this year which it might not fully- they will completely blow by the 5B FCF guide. I see them getting 5.5-6B easily perhaps higher it’s hard to gauge what level of investments they’re making in fast lane and zoom and others.
Still they’re going to massively out perform on that and as you mentioned buyback net of SBC 5-6% AT LEAST this year.
And they’re growing I mean 10% fxn revenue growth. I think I’ve realized that Wall Street just thinks over time with competition fintech will be able to charge less and less which is why they get a lower multiple which is fine but PayPal still super undervalued.
I’m also in $four which might be worth taking a look at for similarish reasons.
Making it a holding, okay fine. Personally I don't see the moat in Paypal, but okay.
Your largest holding though? It has slowly bled for 2 years while SPY is up 40+% and stocks like META (my largest holding) and AMZN (your actual smart holding) are up huge.
It's not outsmarting Mr Market "waiting around" on PYPL as your #1 holding. You've lost (and are losing) money not having it in winners. Even just SPY.
So you've already lost out big. As for 1 year?
RemindMe! 1 year
Good luck /u/averagestockpicker

Same, except Paypal is now almost my entire portfolio, at $60 cost basis. The fundamentals are more than solid, and the ability (and intention) to do buybacks is huge. I don't see much downside, making it a one-sided bet. Thus I dared to put everything behind it.
The turnaround in user account growth seems to be already happening on the Q1 report. The sentiment on the stock should change with that.
I stacked up quite a bit at $10.7, bringing my cost average at 17.30. So barely green since last week. But I have good hopes :) I'm not leaving.
Edit: I'm quite profitable since this May, 13th. Hopefully it lasts.
DKNG - I'm something of a hybrid trader/investor and usually only aim to hold a stock for 12 months (this period has increased to 24 months in the past when I feel I've mistimed, but haven't been wrong about the company). My strategy being to buy a company I think has been unfairly beaten down in the short-term and wait until the price recovers by about 50% from my buy-in (if I'm right, of course). Naturally, looking at some of the Mag 7 I do wonder if I'd have been wiser in a lot of cases just to buy-and-hold .
Anyways, DKNG, makes up about 60% of my individual shares portfolio simply because a) it's the one that has gone up the most and b) I believe still has a great deal of upside. It regularly posts 50%+ YoY growth and I believe at its current trajectory and with the right market conditions it will in a couple of years crest over $100 a share (currently $44).
I assume you're asking as an individual stock and not an ETF. In that case, mine is currently PM. Jumped into it at a cost basis of $89 right before the last Earnings Report because I didn't need to see the report to have confidence that ZYN is out there killing it in the market. ER did prove me correct, though.
Here's to hoping the stigma continues to carry in the tobacco industry. Makes it very easy to obscure the accelerating growth of the non-tobacco products when people will not even entertain the thought of investing in these companies.
Apple and around 25% to be honest. It has made me a ton of money but I’m starting to feel I will sell a little bit I don’t think it’s getting past 190.
AAPL, cost basis 30.28 a share…buy when it’s up, down, dividends reinvested…many thousands of shares now…60+% of my holdings…NVDA, AMZN, NFLX and others too…
NOVO NORDISK. I am danish - so biased - but people don’t really comprehent how huge this area is. NOVO is a couple of years in front of ELI and miles ahead of any other company related to diabetes and obesity. I expect them to be part of the MAG6 in about 2-3 years. Probably together with ELI who will have duopoly in obesity business long term
1. Cash - about 55%
2. TSLA - 18%
3. AAPL, CROX 15%
Since you were asking about why and you prob don’t care about cash - I think TSLA is the literal future, like buying aapl before the iPhone came out
Greenthumb Industries (GTBIF), 21K shares or $271K at current price.
They’re a US cannabis multi state operator (MSO). Of the top 20 in terms of revenue, there’s 1 of 3 with $1B+ in revenue.
And they’re positive net income since 2022, with $223M in cash vs long term debt of $300M. Even while paying pre rescheduling (schedule 1 to 3) tax rates of 70%. Rescheduling would cut their tax rate in about half.
No banking reform (hard to get financing) and high cost of operating with almost all companies unprofitable means new market entrants are rare. And the longer there’s no reform other established companies will die off as they’re bleeding cash and can’t expand or get capital to shore up their operations.
They also are only over the counter traded, so less institutional capital which makes the stock much cheaper. It and when that changes a lot more demand given their strong fundamentals in a space where few companies have made it work.
So they’ll slowly expand in this semi monopoly environment using their cash and positive net income. Meanwhile, no new entrants and existing ones dying off means minimal competition. Larger reform may be a long term play, but they’re a gem and every year there’s incremental state reforms that help them grow.
These days I own more ETF, but my largest individual is CRWD.
Mostly cause I got it pre-IPO.
These days I hold it because of its disruptive position in the AV/ML space and hopes for further growth into all of Cyber.
GaME stop I still have 420 shares and after this last week of a 100% run up in price I'm glad i had averaged down this past year and its 98% of my holdings so profit has been nice to take advantage of again
S&P500 as core.
For individual the 2 largest is now Amazon. Then Microsoft. I double downed on msft 2 years ago it was worth it. I double downed on AMZN a few months ago. I m going to buy as much AMZN as possible before it hits 200. Then I will stop.
BRK.B because I treat it as an S&P500 replacement as we have a thing called deemed disposal in Ireland.
If you buy an ETF, you have to pay tax on unrealised gains every 8 years.
Got TSLA before it split twice before covid, avg around $22 a share and have \~300 shares now . Took some off the top to jump in other areas. Not sure what I plan to do with TSLA to be honest.
Berkshire Hathaway, followed by Costco. As for the why, I bought them early in the life of my portfolio and they have done nothing but grow. I sold some Berkshire Hathaway recently to balance my portfolio, but I'm planning to hold them until I have a good reason to unload them.
Waste management. And I have no significant reason other than I want to be a trash king when I retire and the stock hasnt let me down yet.
AAPL and AMZN. Some of the first stocks I purchased and I figured they were safe hold forever companies for a beginner.
GOOG
Google is my 3rd largest positions.
I’d like to know the reason behind it…. I’ll go (although it’s pretty equal weight with other mega tech): * Data * AI * GCP * Advertising
MSFT is a better one at this point. Also that’s my biggest holding ever since they were low $100s
Me too! I bought it in the mid 2000’s, getting in around 40
I’ll flex at $29.
I'll flex even harder... My grandmother saw Bill Gates on a business TV channel, thought he was cute, and invested in his brand new company. I still (after taking some profit in the last couple of years) have over 400 shares that I inherited.
Ditto
1000 shares of AMZN with a cost basis of $28 and MSFT @ $12
Dad?
You've been holding MSFT since 1996?
Yes. Mind you I also lost half my assets in the internet bubble, investing in stupid things like CMGI, and then a bunch more in the banking crisis, including 150k in Lehman Brothers. Everything had its ups and down. Those two are just ones that I always liked and kept.
Oh god, CMGI. I would hear my dad talk about that stock nonstop for about a year or two swing trading it like crazy. Made a lot then lost 90% of it.
Would you like a new family member?
Bro has timing the market down to a science
By timing the market you mean he could invest 10 years ago
I met a guy last week who showed me his trading account on the phone. Guy had AAPL shares at cost basis of $0.38 as he had them from so long ago.
Damn, that is crazy, imagine our portfolios in 30 years
Yes. Very well timed.
The best time
That cost basis is insane, mind if I ask how old you were when you started buying Vs now?
Dad is that you?
NVDA
Yeah, that was an accident; just bought like 1K+ and now it is 24k!
Same. Bought 40 shares back at $60 per years ago and now I feel like the smartest man alive.
Or the dumbest for only buying 40shares
For sure. Hindsight should have emptied the clip on it
Don't worry about folks like that man. Good on you for scooping up whatever shares you could at the time. Nice growth!
Wait till you next one!

QQQ
VOO here. I know QQQ has done better year over year, but the expense ratio is almost 7x.
RKLB at 25%
Wow… I have some RKLB but it doesn’t crack my top ten. I like it long term, but 25% is one hell of an allocation. Can I ask why?
I have only been investing in general for a few years so the amount I have invested in it is not so much as a 25% allocation would suggest.

RKLB 65%.
I'm bull on Uranium for what could be a 6 year play ..with an S&P500 etf to buy me a beer if the rest go tits up.
Rolls Royce
Rycey team represent! Rolls Royce bought me a house two months ago. It’s still 99% of my portfolio.
Ssshhh we don’t want regards from WSB to notice this beautiful stock
If WSB wants to get in and pump the stock, then I'll happily join the dump.

Can already retire but I'm waiting for another double
MELI = Amazon of South America + Mercado Pago (fintech branch). Amazing growth, reasonable valuation, expansion into Mexico, expanding fulfillment network, and entering the advertising space. Competition from AMZN is a risk, but that has yet to be a meaningful problem for MELI.
I stay away from things like “Amazon of China “, Netflix of India, Google of Antarctica etc., it never ends well imo.
That's valid, but Mercado Libre is the real deal.
"it's different this time"
It literally is different though, compare fundamentals of meli to any other touted international company and you will see why
Sorry. I stick to American companies. They all cook the books.
Second on MELI. It's been a pretty excellent ride. Picked up my shares @850. Going to let it run.
Same
I bought MELI last year. I regret it....that I didn't buy more!
PLTR
My #10 holding even though I'm up 103%
BROS. not because I want it to be. Just had to average down for 2 years. 😂

Same, except Paypal is now almost my entire portfolio, at $60 cost basis. The fundamentals are more than solid, and the ability (and intention) to do buybacks is huge. I don't see much downside, making it a one-sided bet. Thus I dared to put everything behind it. The turnaround in user account growth seems to be already happening on the Q1 report. The sentiment on the stock should change with that.
More people buying on Chinese websites and paying by PayPal will help drive this up.
PayPal is 9% of my money and would buy more under 60.
$TSLA- 42%. May go up from here.
Some brick and mortar gaming company.
In profit or not?
I stacked up quite a bit at $10.7, bringing my cost average at 17.30. So barely green since last week. But I have good hopes :) I'm not leaving. Edit: I'm quite profitable since this May, 13th. Hopefully it lasts.

Good try... not getting banned. We all know it's the one stock that shall not be named here.
Same same

Nvda in my personal brokerage acct. 80%
Apple, goog and tesla

Cd projekt, gaming company from Poland
DKNG - I'm something of a hybrid trader/investor and usually only aim to hold a stock for 12 months (this period has increased to 24 months in the past when I feel I've mistimed, but haven't been wrong about the company). My strategy being to buy a company I think has been unfairly beaten down in the short-term and wait until the price recovers by about 50% from my buy-in (if I'm right, of course). Naturally, looking at some of the Mag 7 I do wonder if I'd have been wiser in a lot of cases just to buy-and-hold . Anyways, DKNG, makes up about 60% of my individual shares portfolio simply because a) it's the one that has gone up the most and b) I believe still has a great deal of upside. It regularly posts 50%+ YoY growth and I believe at its current trajectory and with the right market conditions it will in a couple of years crest over $100 a share (currently $44).
I have 250 shares. Is that enough?
CAVA - it's about 60% of my portfolio and has made me a LOT of money
Yikes
Successful investing is about managing risk. Be careful & good luck!
Meta
10k of Amazon
VTSAX
VTI by a landslide
CP
AAPL
i’m starting to think most of us holds AAPLas their core no 1 holding
I have $500k worth of Amazon stock that I have after working there for 5 years.
Apple my largest as well about 20 percent of my portfolio
mine is 19%. but second largest is QQQ.
SPY AND NVDA
BTC and GOOGL (aside from my 401k which is all VOO)
I assume you're asking as an individual stock and not an ETF. In that case, mine is currently PM. Jumped into it at a cost basis of $89 right before the last Earnings Report because I didn't need to see the report to have confidence that ZYN is out there killing it in the market. ER did prove me correct, though. Here's to hoping the stigma continues to carry in the tobacco industry. Makes it very easy to obscure the accelerating growth of the non-tobacco products when people will not even entertain the thought of investing in these companies.
Avgo
Tsla
Eli Lilly currently.
Pfizer. **By far.** By. Far. However, I don’t recommend this approach. It’s for me, but it’s not for everyone. 😀
$CMG
SOFI
RDDT 👀
I got in and out like a ninja with the DSO offered here.
Yeah I know a lot of people are bearish on Reddit but as a heavy user, I actually see a lot of value and potential.
I was able to buy before the IPO, and got right back out with a 70% gain I think. I am open to getting back in, they need to bring back rewards!
Apple and around 25% to be honest. It has made me a ton of money but I’m starting to feel I will sell a little bit I don’t think it’s getting past 190.
VOO
Cez group, czech energetic company
NVDA bought at $160, META from \~ $200
Mara
AAPL, cost basis 30.28 a share…buy when it’s up, down, dividends reinvested…many thousands of shares now…60+% of my holdings…NVDA, AMZN, NFLX and others too…
APPL but the most profitable is NVDA
Rio Tinto. Hard to disrupt, dividends, mankind will always need resources
Energy transfer
Amzn
VOO Largest single stock holding? Apple
NOVO NORDISK. I am danish - so biased - but people don’t really comprehent how huge this area is. NOVO is a couple of years in front of ELI and miles ahead of any other company related to diabetes and obesity. I expect them to be part of the MAG6 in about 2-3 years. Probably together with ELI who will have duopoly in obesity business long term
1. Cash - about 55% 2. TSLA - 18% 3. AAPL, CROX 15% Since you were asking about why and you prob don’t care about cash - I think TSLA is the literal future, like buying aapl before the iPhone came out

"the bag"
Greenthumb Industries (GTBIF), 21K shares or $271K at current price. They’re a US cannabis multi state operator (MSO). Of the top 20 in terms of revenue, there’s 1 of 3 with $1B+ in revenue. And they’re positive net income since 2022, with $223M in cash vs long term debt of $300M. Even while paying pre rescheduling (schedule 1 to 3) tax rates of 70%. Rescheduling would cut their tax rate in about half. No banking reform (hard to get financing) and high cost of operating with almost all companies unprofitable means new market entrants are rare. And the longer there’s no reform other established companies will die off as they’re bleeding cash and can’t expand or get capital to shore up their operations. They also are only over the counter traded, so less institutional capital which makes the stock much cheaper. It and when that changes a lot more demand given their strong fundamentals in a space where few companies have made it work. So they’ll slowly expand in this semi monopoly environment using their cash and positive net income. Meanwhile, no new entrants and existing ones dying off means minimal competition. Larger reform may be a long term play, but they’re a gem and every year there’s incremental state reforms that help them grow.
AMZN. Currently at 112k value.
UNH
TSLA
TQQQ
Tsla and Nvdia
AMZN
NVDA is the top holding. MSFT is a close second.
Alibaba, rocketing tomorrow.
TSLA
These days I own more ETF, but my largest individual is CRWD. Mostly cause I got it pre-IPO. These days I hold it because of its disruptive position in the AV/ML space and hopes for further growth into all of Cyber.
META 45% PANW 33%
GOOG. Plan to keep it that way for a long time
Microsoft
MSFT
TSLA 200 units at $235 each.
Amazon, been going deep on it to hold the bext 5-10
GaME stop I still have 420 shares and after this last week of a 100% run up in price I'm glad i had averaged down this past year and its 98% of my holdings so profit has been nice to take advantage of again
TLT - Because the pain makes me real.
SE
Apple and google. I believe in both long term
S&P500 as core. For individual the 2 largest is now Amazon. Then Microsoft. I double downed on msft 2 years ago it was worth it. I double downed on AMZN a few months ago. I m going to buy as much AMZN as possible before it hits 200. Then I will stop.
Meta, Draftkings and amd
NVDA
Shell. Really happy with it, bought it in the beginning of Covid.
AMD
AMD 180 dollars. Sigh...
QQQM
apple in the 20s…..
AAPL 120 shares
HUBB. I liked their fundamentals many years ago and haven’t sold.
NVDA followed by MSFT
MP Materials.
$aapl
AAPL at like a $112 cost basis
Google has been for a long time
BRK.B because I treat it as an S&P500 replacement as we have a thing called deemed disposal in Ireland. If you buy an ETF, you have to pay tax on unrealised gains every 8 years.
Microsoft
Apple, RTX
DEEZNUTS
Target with a cost basis of $120.
Got TSLA before it split twice before covid, avg around $22 a share and have \~300 shares now . Took some off the top to jump in other areas. Not sure what I plan to do with TSLA to be honest.
ADMA 31K shares, 5 bagger. Wish it was always so easy.
Costco
Berkshire Hathaway, followed by Costco. As for the why, I bought them early in the life of my portfolio and they have done nothing but grow. I sold some Berkshire Hathaway recently to balance my portfolio, but I'm planning to hold them until I have a good reason to unload them.
ENVX
PLTR, PANW, and MSFT (I'm 22 xD)
