Investing for Fun

I am not a financial advisor, and I have only been working in the stock market since December 27, 2023 when I placed my first trades. I have learned so much! I don’t recommend that anyone follow my stock picks. I will admit that thanks to severe diversification, I have ended up on the plus side, but some of my choices have lost a a higher percentage than I would like. I am really putting this up here because I am lonely. Usually when I have something I am excited about learning, my kids, or wife gets excited too. But with this, it seems like no one cares. So, I’m just sharing with anyone that’s out there listening.
