Started my investing journey in taxable brokerage in 2016. Now later 30’s and have an annualized return of 29.5% compared to an annualized return of 15.1% with the S&P500.
I have a portfolio of about 10 stocks, mostly tech except 1 banking stock.
I bought $10K or NVIDIA in 2018, which is obviously the big reason I have beat the S&P 500 by double since 2016.
That being said, I don’t pretend I can continue this trend and I have $125K or cash waiting to deploy. Should I just go ahead and lump sum it all into VTI and call it a day? When I pick stocks I usually do $10K buy orders.
All my purchases are long term buys. I don’t ever sell and don’t plan on it until wanting to retire.
