Revealing my $37,170 Investment Portfolio

Daniel evaluated two investment portfolios totaling £26,700 invested, including an initial £6,788 portfolio that broke even following NIO trades and a shift to stagnant dividend stocks.

Daniel detailed a £20,000 speculative portfolio based on YouTuber recommendations that peaked near £30,000 via meme stocks like AMC and GameStop before collapsing to £8,000 due to sharp corrections in BNGO and Microvision.

Daniel carried out several trades including re-entering BNGO, panic-selling Microvision and Riot Blockchain, and acquiring positions in SoFi Technologies, American Airlines, and The Original Bark Company, leaving the portfolio at roughly £11,600 with £2,000 in cash.

Reflecting on repeated mistakes involving buying at peaks, panic-selling at bottoms, and an overall nine-month decline from £26,000 to £18,000, Daniel decided to hold current holdings untouched rather than trying to time another pivot.

Daniel's investing reflections over nine months and the strategy of holding positions rather than selling.

Daniel deposited an initial £2,000 into the first portfolio in October 2020 followed by two additional £2,000 deposits.

Daniel exited the NIO position without profit after watching it peak near £10,000 to £11,000 and decline in February, then reallocated roughly £6,000 into dividend stocks.

Daniel accumulated £20,000 in a speculative portfolio by late 2020 and saw its value surge toward £30,000 during the AMC and GameStop meme stock rally.

Daniel placed roughly £15,000 into BNGO and £10,000 into Microvision prior to the mid-February tech pullback, resulting in a drop to £8,000.

Daniel panic-sold Microvision and Riot Blockchain, re-entered BNGO at $5 and Riot Blockchain at $22, and added holdings in SoFi Technologies, American Airlines, and The Original Bark Company.

Daniel expressed confusion over portfolio display metrics reporting a 9% gain alongside a £71 loss.

Daniel expressed uncertainty about which assets to buy if all positions were liquidated, as well as concern over missing a possible market recovery.

Daniel remains uncertain whether stock prices will eventually recover or whether Bitcoin will return to $60,000.
