I need some stock ideas. I caught several falling knives last year that wiped out all my gains. I held peloton, baba, JD, hood, and drafting. I was up 80% through October and saw all those gains wiped away in the last 2 months of the year! I’m so sad. I know my mistake. I lost my investing discipline and paid the price! I was up 90% in 2020 so I’ve done well in the past. I’ve done my retrospective and now ready to jump back in. Hoping to get some ideas on what your promising stocks are for 2022?

“Boring” answer here but the poor performance of these individual stock picks could be solved by investing more into index funds . VTI, VOO, VGT are all great places to start

The f in ETF is for fund. VTI is a fund that follows an index. It is an index fund. VTSAX is a mutual fund that follows an index. It is an index fund also.

Sorry to be blunt but I don’t think your retrospective was very useful. You dealt with a superficial issue of timing you buy and sell transactions. You are assuming that you will do well in future with your renewed discipline of selling at the top.
The fundamental problem is that you are still thinking about stock picking and assuming that you can beat the market. Unless you are enormously lucky (which doesn’t look to be the case), you will lose money from time to time in similar fashion.
The only advice I have for you - buy the market, be consistent, sit on the sideline and let market do it’s job.

How can you even do this without violating personal investment policy? Especially with such short term trades?

Majority of hedge funds (I believe over 90%) can’t beat the market, and they live and breathe it 40+ hours a week. What makes you think you’re smarter than someone who’s spending 160+ hours a month studying the market and which stocks to pick?

This is an index fund bowl …. But if you really want to stock trade, maybe follow a subscription service like Motley Fool? They have the time and expertise to do tons of research.

If you’re looking for individual stocks, some promising high flyers are down pretty significantly right now. Upstart holdings (UPST) is very interesting to me. Revenues of almost $1 billion, net income of a few hundred million, and a really bright future. Traded to 401 earlier in 2021 but has gotten smashed down to 136.58 as of now.

What’s funny is all these SPAC deals seem to trade together, whether they have revenue/net income or not. Lol, it didn’t used to be like that. Not sure why upstart has gotten smashed down so badly but it definitely looks like a time you could be buying low
