I started investing this year and my portfolio has been going up all year. It’s currently up by about 85%+. I only have individual stocks in my portfolio and none of them are FAANG firms.

I did a lot of research about investing for years before I started but the one book that really helped me was “one up on Wall Street” by Peter Lynch. It’s really really easy to read, funny and really relatable. Highly recommend if you want to make above average returns consistently.

I just hope they bring back The Skillet. 😊

Dear Amazon PM,

Could Amazon please have a "ship by" date option? Would make gifting and certain other types of purchases easier.
Would love to be able to pick out something nice I've seen, schedule the shipment to arrive on a certain specific day out in the future (weeks or months ahead) and be done. This works for gifts, and also for certain purchases that you need occasionally but don't fall into the subscribe at regular intervals option currently listed.

Hey, new to investing looking at initial mistakes I made. I have $1k in VOO, $7k in VT and $4k in VTI in my brokerage acct; in my Roth IRA I have $6k in VT and $7.7k in VTI. I know isn’t an ideal portfolio because many of these funds overlap. However I’m in for the long term and am willing to reposition to a strategy that will do the best over my life. Id appreciate to hear feedback on these 2 accounts and better approaches from others. Thanks!
