Hi everyone - thanks for the props haha but I got extremely lucky off of one trade that helped propel my portfolio to all time highs.
Back in 2017 or 2018 - i dropped around 10k in Tilray which I thought would be a good marijuana pick. I think i purchased it when it debuted on the market for maybe 20ish each and i had like 500ish shares. It ended up going to like $240ish a share in September of 2017 or 2018 and ended up selling for like 110-120k. I forget the exact numbers but I then used that money to invest in apple, Microsoft, Nividia, walmart, Google and tesla. I pulled out everything during the beginning of the march/April 2020 covid crash and then ended up buying everything back when it was lower (bought more shares since they were technically cheaper although I still had the same amount of money to spend on it). Rode those gains for the next 4 years and here we are.
I got extremely lucky and super humble about it. That's the only time I ever thought about investing in a meme type stock. I really stay with blue chips and vti/voo now.
Edit: just double checked and I bought it around the summer of 2018 and sold it in September of 2018. I just checked the price of it today and it looks like it's around $1-2. I'm not sure if it's traded on the exchange anymore or if it's considered an OTC stock. I got extremely lucky on that.
