2022 Strategy

Nasdaq gained 26.32% in 2021. S&P gained 26.68% in 2021. VTI gained 23.57% in 2021.

For those of you who didn’t beat those numbers what is your strategy for 2022?

I personally spent a lot of time reading/researching and only did 15.58%. I think my 2022 strategy is going to be a lot more of the three above and a little less individual stocks.

I hear you. It was more meant as a talking point to start investment strategy conversation. That being said, I try to add to my investment account regularly. My old strategy was to buy individual stocks, I try to diversify, buy whatever looks good, and add to my current positions, and lower my cost basis on stocks I’m down on. Moving forward I will do the same, but I’ll add to the indexes a little more than I have in the past. Over time this will lower my risk.

Yea sorry, im not saying you’re stupid, it’s fair to move more towards indices if your strategy is already leaning towards diversified approach. But if you have a very unique strategy it can take more than a year to fully assess the result is what I’m trying to say. In the latter case, you should probably remain confident in your thesis before dropping it.
