My Portfolio Finally Recuperated 13% Loss

 

For the last couple of months my portfolio has not been performing very well.  I saw my last 52-week high on February 17, 2021, and I have been [very] slowly recovering from my 13% loss recorded on March 8, 2021.

FINALLY, today (4/26) I fully recuperated my losses from the February through April dip, and I have a new 52-week high surpassing my last high in February.  Wow, that was a tough 2 months!  I wasn’t sure what to expect and how long my portfolio was going to take to recover.  I’m happy to report that I’m back on target for my personal End of Year (EOY) goal.

Of particular note, one of my favorite stocks is doing especially well – MicroVision ($MVIS), up nearly 50% today and up +1,700%, overall.

To be fair, I wanted to also share at least one of my detractors for the day, but I forgot to record it when I initially stated this blog entry.  This will be my goal for future posts though – to share the good and the ugly.

I’m also excited to receive my first dividend from $IVR this week.  Remember the $100k Microsoft stock I sold in February?  [blogpost: I did a scary thing today] Well, those funds were used to invest in $IVR for long term gain and ongoing dividend passive income.  When the dividend finally recovers to pre-pandemic levels, I’ll receive around $48,000 per year from this investment alone.  I also have a stake in $MFA for short term growth, as the stock returns to its pre-pandemic price, as well as ongoing dividend.  $MFA’s dividend also pays this week.

So, we’re off to a great week!

In my next post, I’ll share some of my goals for 7zeroFIRE.  I realize I haven’t actually explained what the concept of 7zeroFIRE is, what it means for me, and potentially what this movement could mean for others as you join me on this adventure and journey.
