Mostly bought stock with good low PE ratios. Still expecting the market to be down/stagnant for another year, give or take. Let’s hope it’s not a decade.
I’ve been watching some of the big players, and thought it was time to jump into Google.
Redfin has done awful, which shouldn’t be too surprising since they aren’t profitable. At least I didn’t buy as much as I bought META - that sure looks bad now. (Still holding.)
Meta Reality Labs has only cost as much as the Apollo space program…
