Not too bad for the last 5 years.....last year wasn't great though!
 
Woo Victoria Gold hit the $8 mark. $8.07.


I don't remember what I bought in at, it was like 12 or something like that... but think once I can sell at a profit I will sell. Been more or less getting out of stocks. Just focusing on debt for now.

If TSLA continues to go down I may consider that one though... It's always been way out of reach for me. I doubt they are going anywhere, they are just going to stabilize I think. It's just the question of at what price point.
 
I'm of the opinion TSLA still has room to fall another 50%+ from here. Musk's Twitter fiasco, alienation of a good chunk of his core consumer for Tesla, and traditional auto makers offering compelling EV models all make the growth tech stock valuation seem... overly optimistic. Especially with rising cost of capital.

Sure there are competitive advantages for TSLA (namely, luxury/status symbol), but at this point I think the USA and much of the world are not ready for mass EV. Somewhere with a better electrical grid, maybe.

Not to mention the raw inputs required for EVs have become trickier to source since Russia and China produce the vast majority of inputs for EVs... a 2x increase in production is stretching it, much less the 10X-100X required for electrification. Not in the next decade without serious growing pains.
 
Hopefully all our investments will go to the moon.
 

Party City about to file for bankruptcy. Apparently parties are also succumbing to inflation. 🙁

The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that Party City is preparing a bankruptcy filing.

Known for selling balloons and other festive supplies, Party City has been hit hard by a helium shortage, costly shipping and softer demand amid an inflationary environment. Sales during the critical Halloween period disappointed investors.

Wasn't expecting this rally in January. I was expecting continued lows until at least the start of February.
