Update to the April Adds. Trading Blocks?

Given that I commit to adding incrementally on the way down - I thought the natural question would be: So…how’d you do so far. This then is that.

Not sure whether I was ahead of the curve, adding to current positions - or just gambling on the market hitting/finding or searching for a bottom. This is the full list of what I added, added-to beginning in April along with the current results.

April 1:
Corz - Down (-9.88%)
HIMS - Down (-12.41%)
NVDA - Higher by +1.89%

April 3:
APP - Down by (-3.25%)
CRDO - Higher by 1.59%
INOD - Higher by +6.95%
NVDA - Higher by +7.15%

April 4:
ALAB - Higher by +15.79%
APP - Higher by +10.40%
CORZ - Down 3.02%
CRDO - Higher by +16.17%
INOD - Higher by +29.26%
NVDA - Higher by 16.74%
PLTR - Higher by +16.70%
TSLA - Higher by +3.25%

April 8:
Note: On This date I traded RDDT for AMZN and CRWD and a Player to be named later.
AMZN - Higher by +7.68%
CRWD - Higher by +16.28%

April 9:
Note: Added BSEM after reviewing posts on Saul’s.
BSEM - Higher by +62.39%

So - if I look at those results I can conclude a couple of things:

  1. In general, if you have funds to invest as the market tanks - and are seemingly judicious with a semblance of a rational and a plan when doing it - It appears to be rewarding over the longer term.

  2. In general, number one above is full of poo as there is no way to tell where the market might go from here: the adds that are higher could go much lower from here. So there’s that.

Whatever, my plan is to continue to add incrementally if we were to continue down: Still have a little over 15% cash left. Thereafter I plan to just hunker down and take my beating.

As for the Income port - Since the beginning of April I have added incrementally to about 40 or so positions.

All the Best,
