I deposit $1000/mo into a Fidelity investment account, $43,000 total since 2022. I try to pick stocks to hold until retirement.

All Holdings

I’m one day late on downloading my stock data this month, and the S&P 500 dropped 2% today, with Amazon down -8%, so this isn’t exactly correct for the month of July.

See the attached PDF of my holdings, it’s colorful.
