Stock research: I am too greedy - S&P 500 index down 5.89% -188.04 3002.10

June 11, 2020

Introduction


It was my first time in my life that I saw Ameritrade.com had 15% return after 15 months. I was too greedy and thought about how to catch up last 25% rebound and then my positions had over $1800 dollars loss in one day. I like to write a short research called "I am too greedy".

Stock market crash


It is again big crash today. I like to document the crash.

Here is my personal finance github repository folder with the case study.




Actionable items


I have to work on Ameritrade.com Key largo portfolio, over 90% are equities or equity ETF. It is too risky for downward swing. I have to sell VOO and VEU, and then keep portfolio stable.

Life is tough for an investor. Last two days, I was proud of investing with 15% return after 15 months, now I was below my book value after 15 months.

I have to remember to buy low and sell high. Sell those stocks and put back to bonds for stability of portfolio.

90% of fund is in growth fund. I should be disciplined.

Follow up

Finally after a few months delay, I set up a meeting with professional option - finance manager in Shanghai; I had first meeting together with him. He is SJTU math Ph.D. with investment experience.

I explained to him my weakness as a single person. I can do research, but I do not have pressure to make money over years. I am very frugal, but I do not have ambitous to make money. I need to some one to review my portfolio, and remind me. Some one can criticize me on my ideas.

It is my desire to work with young people since I like to be a manager one day. I have to learn how to work together. Select five people to work with. That will determine my wealth and health.
