That's great. Sounds like a good way to keep one's brain active in these times. With luck, our politics and Covid MAY start calming down so that will be a huge void over here.

Hard to determine whether my individual stocks topped my index funds last year. My record keeping isn't precise on that point. Essentially a toss up, I think. My kids, who have a big slug of QQQ, again did very well because of that. 2020 was the year for small caps and junk, and not so much for blue chips. The Dow was only up about 7% vs 47% for the QQQ.

I entered all my stocks in the Finviz Screener as of January 1, 2021 so I should get better data in the future.

One thing that did work out was my avoiding trading. No doubt plenty of traders cashed out in the big March/April market drop. And I'm seeing some locals now saying they're moving away from stocks, which is probably bullish. I assume the masses of IHUBers rarely get it right!
