Aloha Investors!
I hope everyone is hanging in there with their investments because it will be a bumpy ride this year especially when the presidential election happens and when/if the feds lower the interest rates. I am feeling good about the stocks I currently have, and everyone should feel the same about their stocks no matter how big or small their account is. I do believe that everyone should have a positive mind set when it comes to investing because investing can be a big roller coaster ride. There will be more down days than up days, but all you have to do is set your goal and keep on investing towards it.
This paycheck I was only able to grab a couple Apple shares because my Roth IRA account did not have enough to purchase more VOO shares. I am happy that VOO is going up, but sad that I did not get to purchase more when it was lower. Right now, VOO is currently trading at $514.50 after hours. If you cannot afford to purchase VOO right away, then wait until you do have enough to purchase that one share. Please do not try to rush because that is when you will make mistakes and you will make rash decisions.
I have been watching META and I believe that META will slowly work its way up and split. META’s growth and statistics do look incredibly good for 2024. I believe it will grow a lot more this year no matter what happens. If you have some extra money, I would pick up a few shares before META goes up higher. Other than META I would suggest AAPL, NVDA, GOOGL, AMZN, and VOO. If you are just starting off VOO is your main investment because it diversifies into all the best performing stocks of the S&P 500 index.
Until next time…Have a great weekend and remember it is never too late to start investing!
