Adhering to the Gardner-Kretzmann Continuum that suggests individual investors hold at least as many stocks as they are years old, I currently have 36 core holdings in my retirement account . While I own many more starter-sized positions of other stocks as well, I focus the majority of my monthly dollar-cost averaging (DCA) buys on these 36 holdings.
So far in 2024, my worst-performing stocks among these 36 businesses have been fintech SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) and streaming platform Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) , which are down between 36% and 38%. As disheartening as these drops are, they are a standard part of being an individual investor -- and I have absolutely no interest in selling right now.
Why?
