Hope & Low Expectations for 2023

Leaving 2022 behind with lots of highs and lows. It had been my first year investing, and it was nothing like I expected. Coming off the highs of the pandemic, I thought I'd be able to plug some money into 'safe' companies and watch my money grow. That isn't quite how things turned out, but I learned a lot along the way.
When I started in the springtime, my goal was to build up a bigger financial cushion to maybe buy a house and start a family down the line. I started with investments like $Apple(AAPL.US)$, which had been steadily climbing for years. The investing conversations online piqued my interest, and inspired me to do more research into technical analysis, as well as staying more tuned to a fundamental analysis of world events. I did lots of experimenting with stocks in small numbers, trying to figure out what worked for me.
The biggest lesson was figuring out how much risk and volatility I could stomach. I bet big on natural gas, only to watch it plumet towards record lows. I also tried investing towards my ideals, putting money into green energy. This paid off with $First Solar(FSLR.US)$ which took off over the summer. I made a very poorly researched bet on $United Maritime(USEA.US)$ when it first was released, and watched my investment plummet. Stomaching the risk, I doubled down and lowered my average, and saw my investment quickly regain and surpass its original value.
Going into 2023 my goal is to continue educating myself on different technical analysis indicators, and to keep watching for investment opportunities in the real world. As the US economy readjusts, I know things will fluctuate, and definitely not go according to my plans. That's going to have to be ok. I'm moving forward with my goal of buying a house, and will be closing in a few weeks. Whatever 2023 manages to throw at me, I'm going to set myself up to enjoy life.
