My journey in investing and more: A 2021 Review
To summarize how my investments have faired in 2021, I can simply say it's been a rollercoaster of swings... Up and Down and All Around!
One thing is for certain: I definitely ramped up diversification!![]()

I currently hold 67 stock tickers in my portfolio (34 are new positions I added this year) ![]()
. Here are some of my favorite additions from 2021 that have gathered up some gains:
$MP Materials(MP.US$ (up 18.36%)
$Lucid Group(LCID.US$ (up 38.6%)
$Broadcom(AVGO.US$ (up 29.1%)
$Home Depot(HD.US$ (up 19.62%)
$Lowe's Companies(LOW.US$ (up 27.1%)

Now, this diversification may or may not pan out, only time and the market will tell. I may be down on some of the new stock tickers I've added, but I don't feel I'm out. I'm determined to let time run its course, adding on dips if I feel the company's directions and goals remain attainable. I've learned that adding in small waves lowers my chances of adding in too much too early. It's also important to realize some gains when there are dramatic upward fluctuations in a stock's pricing. When it looks too good to be true too quickly... it might very well be, so cash in on the uptrend!
Looking in retrospect, I bought into the wave of electrification and I think it would eventually lead to some success. I'm big on dollar-cost averaging and don't tend to throw everything all at once into investments. The new tickers I added this year that I'm rooting to turn it around at some point are:
$CleanSpark(CLSK.US$ (down 38.6%)
$SoFi Technologies(SOFI.US$ (down 24.25%)
$Roku Inc(ROKU.US$ (down 39.65%)
$MercadoLibre(MELI.US$ (down 24.28%)
$Stem Inc(STEM.US$ (down 32.14%)

To end it on a positive note (and unrelated to investing), I was able to get back into running 5K and 10K races in 2021!![]()
Thankfully, with the pandemic worries subsiding slightly and the vaccines available, outside activities in groups became more normal again. Looking forward to a 2022 filled with positivity and gains for all!
