I haven't been buying stocks for very long but I have a stock I purchased back in late August that's up 35%. I actually bought a subscription from a stock guru and most of the stocks I've purchased with his advice are doing well. The only thing with that is I'm constantly spammed to buy into another subscription. It's annoying. I have my guy at Ameriprise do the buying for me but my stocks blow away his ETFs. They're making money but they're holding me back. Of course I told him in the beginning that I was conservative so that's the way he originally set up my portfolio. I also get a discount on fees and pay only 1/2%. I bought NVDA on Chiefs Planets advice and it's rolling too. Up 28.5 % since I purchased it.
I also have some at Morgan Stanely and then my 401K with Principal. That account has grown a bunch in the last 2 years. If they get the tax plan through we'll all keep bank rolling. I'm afraid the jackass politicians are going to screw it up though.
