I started investing in Aril 21, 2020 on Robinhood. I had no experience with investing. I always watched investing related videos ever since I was in middle school. I read books like “The Warren Buffet Way” and “The Intelligent Investor.” I always had a fascination with investing, in fact I used to use TD ameritrade’s thinkorswim platform to paper trade and teach myself the fundamentals of investing. I made the decision to invest with my own money and I learned so much. I taught myself about option call & puts, trailing stop loses, SPAQ mergers, and much more. I knew that I wanted to be very conservative and smart with my investment portfolio. My portfolio goal was to allocate a portion of my portfolio to growth stocks, dividends, and safe blue chip stocks. I used some of my college refund money to invest along with some money I made from a summer internship.
As of now my investment portfolio has grown over 85 percent. I started the portfolio with a little over 6,000 and have grown the account to over 11,500.
