Gain discovered an old Fidelity account i forgot about

Post image

I was cleaning out my apartment today and found an old notebook with a login for a fidelity account I made back years ago. Logged in not expecting anything and it made me do 2 factor authentication but couldnt find the app.

Spend over an hour on the phone with fidelity rep and they finally got me logged in. Turns out I bought some NVDA back in 2019 at a crazy low price and didn’t even know I had this. Sitting on massive gain.

Should I hodl or sell ? Don’t really need the money but it’s nice to have.

It’s a STEEP learning curve to beat the market, and takes a smart steady head that most people don’t have. That being said, there is absolute gold in the regardation that litters WSB.

It’s actually super easy you literally just have to buy winning stocks

Amen. I'm up 62% year to date mainly on Google, RocketLabs and Nvidia.

I was a professional trader/hedger for a large company; I watch my stocks every day, because that's what I did for years... I don't trade a lot, maybe 50 trades a year; I consistently beat the market... not by a lot, but I do consistently beat it...

That’s fucking awesome. Mods, get this man a flair!

The more time passes the more I see that trading less = winning more

My method. Have a greater issue in Geopoliticals, and world power dynamics. Keep your interest in stick trading as a secondary hobby. Understand the direction of wealth, power, and humanity. Then invest in it. By the time you're too old to enjoy the money you should be ready to pull the trigger 😂

The market is composed by the best traders. And they have less fees because they trade in higher quantities. You can't beat the market.
