Am I supposed to be making money? - Hi,
Just a quick question.
I started investing in april 2021, probably near the first peak after the covid crash.
I understand that I bought at crazy valuations. I invested a small lump sum and added 1k a month pretty consistently, buying a mix of stocks and etf, mainly dividend paying.
After 2 and a half years my portfolio is in the green by 1% and I don't know what to think of it because I have no reference to judge this result.
I was under the impression that I could make an aversge of 5-8% a year.

What has been your experience in the past 2 years?
Is a flat portfolio good or am I doing something wrong?

Berkshire is hoarding so. much. cash.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ... See More rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.

Buffet indicator is showing some wild times ahead perhaps, combine that with Berkshires record high cash hoard of 30%... chart via barchart.com / Longtermtrends

Looks like we're going through something, but who would have thought with all these tarrifs, inflation and trade wars going on

Where does this end up long term with small stocks suffering white giant caps are taking all the coin?
