So many of us are growth-focused in this thread. SBD probably sitting like a boss with his REITs & financials.
Yeah I'm doing okay. Certainly not going backwards. Interest rates remain low so margin is cheap and I've continued to add larger amounts than my biweekly pay where it makes sense to do so. All additions being to current holdings not new holdings. Most are recovering well while the distributions significantly exceed the cost of margin on a monthly basis. Yes they are taxable but the interest is deductible so it's a wash. I'm still only using about 1/4th of available margin, more or less because I don't honestly see how the world is a better place now than pre covid nor do I see how the immediate of short term future is better so I have some risk aversion.
Cryptos see not yet deemed financial instruments but I consider them one at this point and there's a lot of new and speculative instruments and currencies and I don't fully understand them. I still have this house of cards feeling I can't rid of.
