Not sure if this breaks the rules, sorry in advance
**My investing history as a 16yr old**
**2019:**
Spent 200$ on paydirt, ended up with about a gram of gold which was 60$ at the time.
Contemplated buying a ounce of gold but never went through with it.
(should have just bought pure 24k gold)
Also thought about buying silver but never saw any potential.
**2022:**
Started buying stocks. Didnt really make anything
**2024:**
Started actually investing in stocks. Bought some stocks and ended up making a few hundred bucks. Also lost a couple hundred bucks. Took a break for a little while.
**2025:**
Got back into stocks around the end of summer. Bought some MPWR when it was at around 590$ in January but sold in February after it started dropping and was at a strong selling point, only made like 30$. Also bought a few TSLA shares and made a good bit of change when it hit 400$. Bought and sold a few things here and there, didn't really make much and ended taking another break for a few months.
Eventually bought a whole share (6.5 shares after split) of netflix at 1.16k (116$ after split) right before the 10 to 1 split expecting a rise in buyers only for it to slowly drop in price. Thought about buying META (650$ - 660$), MPWR (900 - 950$), and TSLA (450 -480$) but decided not to since none of them had dropped, and for the most part they were going up.
**2026:**
Fast forward to today, held on to netflix since the split but the WB deal has drained -27% of my shares, gold is at 5.5k per ounce (genuinely insane), silver is 120$ per ounce (also insane), MPWR is at 1.16k right now, META is at 713$ (a 6.6% increase in after hours), TSLA is at 430$ right now, and NFLX is at 84$ right now.
Overall:
Should have bought gold bars
Should have stuck with MPWR
Should have bought META
Shouldn't have doubted the power of silver
Shouldn't have bought TSLA
Should have 100% done more research.
