I know people say don't take stock advice from Reddit but what I saw in a couple threads from sometime between December 24-26th 2022 helped me out greatly. The gist of the threads were people started investing in Jan 2021 didn't know what to do now since they were down 50% or more like me. Some were thinking suicide haven't seen those users post since…but a couple asked what should they do now.
The advice given when sorted by best was sell everything and put it into VOO, VTI or SPY. Given how the market had been doing at the time I decided to sort by controversial. And the most recommended stocks that were sparking arguments were META, NVDA, AMD, PLTR, DKNG, and CVNA.
I went with the controversial advice and bought those stocks on December 27th which ended up being buying META around $117, NVDA around $141, AMD around $63,PLTR around $6, DKNG around $11, and CVNA around $4. I have since recovered all my losses. I thought it would take years instead it took 7-8 months. Just wanted to thank those users on r/stocks wherever you are that recommended those stocks despite the pushback you got you helped me.
