2023 April ($16,200) - bye BBBY
Profile is break even at +0.37%. [Doesn't include dividends.]
Bed Bath & The Great Beyond: Now I’ve picked two bankruptcies in under a year. I had a chance to get out with more than double on this one. Gambling is hard.
I’ve learned that banks are tricky to evaluate, maybe some metrics aren’t as useful for them (like pe ratio) because they’re weird.
Also wise to be careful with retail. I don’t want more retail or banks, but it’s hard to find “good deals” elsewhere.
My big tech stocks are looking good, especially META, but I expect things to go down.
Lots of small bets this month, hard to find confidence.
