My Returns Are Still 2x Of S&P 500 and Nasdaq. What's Next?
hey everyone, Wonton Investor here. quick update on where things stand.
my portfolio is up around 15% this year, while the nasdaq and the S&P 500 are both up around 7% as of writing. and that's after a pretty ugly drawdown along the way (if you've been keeping up with my COIN position and the recent markets, you should know how bloody the market has been lol)
i'm not saying that to flex, because one good year doesn't make anyone a genius, and i've had my fair share of bad calls. i'm saying it because i haven't posted much this year, and i want to explain what i was doing instead: reading and analysing a lot. earnings calls, filings, newsletters, and a lot of writing down why i own what i own.
so from now on i'm going to pen those thoughts down more regularly, with dates on everything, so you (and future me) can check whether i was right. i'd rather be graded than be vague.
here's what's up so far, in case you missed any of it:
1. $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ and DeepSeek - i graded my 2025 DeepSeek call. the anti-panic call was right, but the reason i gave wasn't really the reason AMD went up.
2. why AI optics and power are heading for commoditisation - and why i think the edge moves to whoever owns the know-how instead.
3. Corning ($Corning(GLW)$ ) - the buy and walk-away conditions i wrote down, graded against their Q3 results.
4. Coinbase ($Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ ) - the accountability post. my $150 entry rule worked, and then i ignored it.
5. adult money - how i hit $100K as a student, then lost track of my own money once i started working, and the 2 apps i built to fix it.
