So. I recently 10x my total net worth from $6.4k to $68.13k today as of this writing. For context, my portfolio is $83.18k and I am leverage 5K at the start + another 10k to my Mom.

As a 19 year old that started investing at the start of April last year. $68k is a lot to me personally. If any inspiring young person is out there wondering that can it be done, YES!

So how did I started investing? I began when I was surfing youtube and finding out Tesla making a lot of people rich and then the next recommendation showed that Tesla dropped a lot and people lost a lot of money. Oh, the duality of life.

I touch the market on 27 March with the worst broker "Saxo" (Lost 1% every trade for conversion) thinking of making a few quick bucks. Bought Nike and Boeing when it spikes like 10%-ish and immediately selling for a loss. My first few trades I made quite a significant loss. So, I came across this MF thing and still with the I'm going to be rich mentality and bought the $2k package. (Was very foolish xD ). Also, reflexing on my past losses were mostly due to the bad broker. I started fresh with IBKR at $6.4 and surprisingly managed to convince my Mom to lend me some money (she agreed to $5k).

So, my broker account started at a whopping $11.4k. A second chance with my Mom's money at stake. This time I was more careful with it, watch many MF investing streams. I didn't put all my money into the pumped up news stocks and accepted that investment is not a lottery but a long term game. I stopped buying at every spike and selling at every dipped and eventually also do it the opposite, sometimes :).

I think the biggest take away is that new investors only want immediate returns. I have seen many people asking me the same question, "Will this stock jump?" or "Is it too late to get into it?". If you believe in the stock long term, it will go up and it is never too late. All you need is patience and due diligence in investing.

Recap on my last picks:

$ADAP gained 12.7% from $5.32 to $6.01 in 3 weeks

$BNGO gained 50% from $4 to $6.34 in 2 weeks

I am still long on $TSLA.

Using $CLSK as a BTC play

Congrats to those who bought the dip or DCA. It is your hard work to do research and click the buy button, not me : )

Happy investing.

My portfolio now, 729.21% gain

For those wondering why is it different from CS. I have warrants and also CS calculate based on past stock movement and I didn't invest when Tesla is back at ATH in January.
