Did anyone else JUST start investing towards the end of 2024 and now has nothing but red everywhere?
Everyone I know has been into stocks for years, and while the last few months have been bad for them, their overall portfolios are still up because of the massive gains they've had in the S&P and choice individual stocks they bought years and years ago. I unfortunately just started investing towards the end of 2024, and at first it was fun - good picks to sell , bad picks to hold, and the S&P chugging along better than my HYSA. Fast forward to today,and literally everything I put my money into has resulted in a loss. Everything. I feel like I invested at possibly the worst possible times. Investing at what I thought was a normal climb and instead it turns out to be a peak that may not be reached again for years and years.
Anyone else in this boat?
