@oldfarmer50,
Funds were not losers in 2024 but still haven't technically broken even with the price paid per share with reinvested dividends and capital gains.
Bought the funds starting in 2021.

I have one Europac fund that did well in 2024 but it is still down from my initial investment from several years ago. I also bought Lucent at about $20 only to see it go down to 50 cents or something. That’s when I stopped trying to pick individual stocks.

The only investment strategy that I’ve learned is that when the gurus say something is an incredible buy….run.

Neighbor was probably online bragging that his car was ‘da bomb’ and the AI surveillance picked up on it.

Speaking of bombshells, have you heard that Stellantis is cutting prices by 60% on some old lot queen Ram trucks to get them out of inventory? I’ve seen a few YT gurus predicting price drops but 60% would be something. Would they really do that or is this more clickbait?

Rear view.

Looks like a Plymouth Barracuda.

Saw this outside the furniture store we were going into the other day. It was parked right next to the entrance so I couldn’t get it all in one shot. The rear view is beautiful but I don’t want to show the license plate.

OLED is a better picture by far. It’s also better at reducing glare. If your old eyes can’t tell the difference and your room is either shady or you don’t watch daytime sports, get what you want!

At the end of the year I sold some underwater mutual fund shares to offset capital gains for 2024.
That means I have some capital to buy something.
Based on the rumors that CDJR is going to do some downward major price adjustments, I am going to wait.

What mutual fund was a loser in 2024? Did you hire the broker who advised me which individual stocks to buy years ago? He had an uncanny knack of picking all losers in a bull market.

3X Short S&P 500 fund.

I'm guessing from the rear, the taillights might look sort of like what the early/mid-90s Regal sedan used. I'm also getting sort of an Infiniti J30 vibe. I just asked Google Gemini to draw it from the rear 3/4 angle, and this is what it came up with:

I see some LeSabre in it, especially the C-pillar. Not bad looking, AI is getting scary, it'd probably fool the normies now, only us weirdos will be able to tell a fake.
