Why? Because I was underinvested headed into the year (70-80% cash) after hearing nearly every “expert” talk about how awful the first part of the year was.
And then I tried buying things and some worked out, and some did not (example: I owned a huge portion of TITN which fell tremendously after earnings)… when the market fell again, I went primarily to cash as “protection” again listening to experts
but most recently I've been about 55-60% invested and done relatively similar to the NASDAQ.. but with that cash position at 40% it's still impossible to “Beat” the indicies.
It seems like when the stock market is in a rally, it's the “growth/risky” stocks that do the best going up 8-10% sometimes even in a day! I am not in those stocks…
Luckily I am in a bunch of semi's now but I'm really questioning why I even spend 2-3 hours a day even doing this haha.
Another note is I owned WAYY too many stocks.. I am trying my best to narrow it down to only 25-30 moving forward. not more than that which I had gulp
