"I Have Money to Invest. What Do?" (Patreon)

My portfolio for the past decade has been wild. I've tried stock picking, ETFs, index funds, cryptocurrency, call and put options, GameStop/AMC meme stocks, Tesla, you name it.

After being in the game for so long I can tell you what works and what doesn't.

For reference, my current portfolio contains these specific investments:

FXAIX
Where I put money and never look at it again. It's my best performing investment.

SHDC
The same as above but it pays out dividends. It's my 2nd best but has the potential to outperform FXAIX once the dividends start going crazy.

Bitcoin/Ethereum
I have a good amount in here that I've been dollar cost averaging for several years. I've stopped putting money in crypto over the past year because I felt like my portfolio had too high of a % in cryptocurrency so I've been shoving my capital elsewhere.

Random Stocks
I still have a good amount of random stock picks that I chose over the past years. Tesla, GameStop, AMC, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Home Depot, Netflix and a few others. Some performed EXCEPTIONALLY well; some did not. I don't like the idea of trying to choose the winning individual stock; it loses out more times than it wins out. I plan on transferring most of these funds into FXAIX & SHDC so I can start compounding my dividends faster.

Property
I own real estate but I'm not a huge fan. I'm considering expanding further because the tax benefits of owning property are amazing but I hate the idea of having to deal with people, lol. I know all about it being a prior Real Estate Agent & Loan Originator. The housing market is also absolutely terrible for homebuyers and investors that aren't already swimming in cash. So... meh... we'll see.
