# Let's set an annual goal: 5% return rate

Got beaten black and blue in the first week of this month, but luckily had a few decent meals in the past two weeks😂😂

This boosted my confidence a lot. I started trading US stocks on April 10th and finally outperformed the S&P today!

Might as well set a bold goal for myself: achieve a 5% return by the end of the year.

$Coreweave(CRWV.US) has finally pulled through, breaking through multiple daily moving averages—bullish! 40% position.

$Microsoft(MSFT.US) has been weak for a month, but weekly charts look good—holding steady.

$Circle(CRCL.US) entered at 135 with a 10% position—watching.

$Figma(FIG.US) under observation—feels like sector rotation is coming soon.

$Coinbase(COIN.US) and $Amazon(AMZN.US)—bought on earnings day, then tanked after the report. Averaged down a bit and now almost break-even, still slightly in the red. Holding for now.

$Bullish(BLSH.US) is super strong—bought at 53 in a small account, up 30% in 3 days. Too bad I couldn’t buy more due to limited funds—planning to hold long-term.

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US) and $Berkshire Hathaway B(BRK.B.US)—defensive plays, holding at cost.

How much return is needed for 5%?
