      This actually is discouraging me from being a long term investor

      A logical, effective,ย common-sense move, OP – one which flies in the very face of WSB itself.

      This is how I started. Made 50 grand with shopify investment when it was just getting started. Discovered options a year later and broke now.

      So you’ve made… $7k since the 2000s? ![img](emote|t5_2th52|12787)

      That is great but nothing gets your balls going like making what you made this whole time in an hour and the risk that comes with it. lol

      Msft literally paid for most of what I own as I joined when the stock was $30 and just accumulated via the ESPP program they have for employees

    7. Buy calls. You can buy them 1 to 2 years out and hold them long term. You would have made a lot more money for the same amount of effort. Costco is the way.

      Look, it’s not hard. Just invest your inheritance (you *did* murder your parents while sailing across the Pacific, right?) into blue chip tech stocks. But wait — we’re not done –make sure you can draw from your trust fund for the full 15 to 20 years required to really grow your wealth.

      Honestly if people can’t figure out how to do this then they don’t deserve to retire

      Heyyyy… Attention… Come here !!!

      People know that but we like to regard…

    10. Sweet position! Sold my 3 share of Microsoft for a gain of 20%! I needed to sell because I borrowed to buy more nvda ๐Ÿ˜† and I didn’t want to be charged for having debt it at the end of the month. I’m VERY happy with my decision.

      I bought Microsoft at $21.08 in 2008 and have held ever since. That my friend is long term investing.

    12. Define, “get ahead”. I can pick a penny up off the road a few times and say I’m ahead as well.

    13. reallypeacedoff on

      Real talk here but you should try get a few more MSFT to get you to 100 and start selling monthly covered calls.

    14. Lmao was expecting a lot more from a โ€œlong termโ€ Microsoft investor. Iโ€™ve made this much on TSLA shares this week.

    15. Judo_y_Milanesa on

      Long term? Bro you held it for barely a month ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)

      I’ll just be over here with my $AMZN at a per share cost basis of $23…

      I had some at $6, but I’ve been steadily liquidating my oldest positions while staying in the 0% capital gains tax bracket.

      Paying capital gains is for chumps ๐Ÿ˜Ž

      Most people know this. This sub may seem regarded af but in reality a lot of the people playing with serious money are doing it with they “play” money. My RH account is where I hunt outsized gains. I’m happy with it now because it’s up 80% YTD and 60% YoY. My Fidelity account is where the money I cannot afford to lose sits and there I would absolutely be happy with 10-15% gains even for a year.

      Congrats on your 10% 1M gain on MSFT. This is the right way to do it for sure, especially if it’s your main account. But it kinda is preaching to the wrong choir because we see that SPY has also returned 5% in the same period where you risked it all on one tech stock to get 10%.

      Not long term but I get what you’re trying to convey.

      I say keep going. Through a downturn or two. THEN you’re long term.

      I’m about 95% up with Amazon and 78%.up with QQQM and I in no way consider it long term, it been less than 2 years.

      I need about 2 or 3 downturns. Plan on holding for a decade or so, so I need some sale prices lol.

    19. Good job bro and keep it up ๐Ÿ‘ ignore all the hate. Youโ€™ll have more money than 99% of the regards on this board, and it will be taxed at a lower rate after holding for a year.
