When it hit 121, I saw it as a buying opportunity in my own account.

When I entered the contest, I chose stocks that I owned. I know some people pick stocks that are small caps and look for high growth. That makes the game more interesting. But I chose stocks that I regularly follow.

It’s been a fun game, let’s see how next year plays out. Yesterday I bought 200 additional shares of Nvidia, so it’s now my largest holding. I will be watching this stock closely next year.

Thanks everyone for playing, see you next year,
Donna
Congrats! 2024 starting up soon and glad you are returning to the game.
