Not too bad. One I'm down -2%. But the other one I'm up 32% so I'm good. One of them I knew was a riskier stock but what the heck, im in it for the long run anyways. The longest stock I held on to was 10 years. Bought at $9 a share, now it's at $68 a share. But I was a kid back then, just playiing around, didn't have much to invest. Most my money's in vanguard, just have some to play around in stock. Got some Google stocks , hope they go up this year. I hold long term, don't like selling and buying too often.
When I started doing this stuff I was definitely very anxious and always checking. People wondered where I had this kind of money saved up at my young age and as a woman, too. Guess Hmong people did not expect any Hmong woman to be into this kind of stuff or something.
I would not say that I got very wealthy from it because I consider myself a novice. I would love to learn more and be really good at it. I've actually thought about taking a class. Worth it? Scam? I feel I might learn more than simply from reading internet.
Again, I feel that me being conservative, I probably won't get that much out of it.
