description: "Newbie's notes on learning US stocks 79Can't stay up late tonightGoing to sleep now, staying up late is bad for health. Placed an order to buy UNH at 280 and ready to sleep. Other stocks don't seem to have much opportunity either.UNH single-handedly dethroned itself from my top position, now meta is the top position in this account... Another account's top position is MSFT. After exchanging the last 10K USD at 6.97, this year's forex quota is used up. US stock target return remains 10% annualized, control risks and take it slow.No options, no shorting, no small caps. Control positions well, adjust according to market conditions. This account focuses on tech, will look for opportunities to add AMZN and NvDA later. Another account mainly holds BRKB, QQQ and VOO besides MSFT, waiting for BRKB at 470, VOO at 620 and QQQ at 610.Recently silver went crazy, 10K became 30K; gold also went from 50K to 80K; too bad I didn't dare buy much, and now reluctant to sell, just leave it as is, not much anyway, good to keep some precious metals allocation. Other funds also performed well recently, worst is HK stocks, might as well cut losses if necessary.Sleep now, early to bed early to rise, still need to work tomorrow..."

- **慢慢长大的南瓜 · 2026-01-28T12:48:49.000Z**: I sold the ones I was heavily invested in too early, while the UnH I was reluctant to sell kept falling
  - **韩文瑜** (2026-01-28T13:05:54.000Z): Haha, cheer up, I'm half tech, half health. Start over, I've been through 235🤣
  - **做时间的朋友 520** (2026-01-28T13:20:25.000Z): Learn to change your mindset as Brother Cat said, keep the strong and eliminate the weak, hahaha😂
  - **慢慢长大的南瓜** (2026-01-28T16:23:05.000Z): Hahaha, let's cheer each other up. I've deposited funds into another account. Waiting for the opportunity.
- **慢慢长大的南瓜 · 2026-01-28T12:47:19.000Z**: The time cost is too high
- **韩文瑜 · 2026-01-28T12:36:26.000Z**: A year's earnings gone in one go😔

  - **慢慢长大的南瓜** (2026-01-28T12:41:22.000Z): Still losing money this year
- **Enric · 2026-01-28T08:40:41.000Z**: Liquidated UNH at the end of last year, which now seems to be the right decision. UNH's fundamentals have deteriorated and are unlikely to improve under Trump. Currently, the largest position in my portfolio, same as yours, is Meta. No operations were done, and the results will be revealed tonight. 
  - **慢慢长大的南瓜** (2026-01-28T12:36:46.000Z): My UnH is really... the second meta, followed by MSFT
- **做时间的朋友 520 · 2026-01-28T06:13:01.000Z**: I sold half at 350 unh, woke up in the morning and saw it dropped too hard, so I cleared my position at 320. If there's a chance below 275, I'll buy some more, otherwise forget it. The drop was too severe, better stick to buying broad-based ETFs and the 'Seven Sisters'.
  - **闯荡美利坚** (2026-01-28T08:01:53.000Z): Changed the name, almost didn't recognize it😂
  - **做时间的朋友 520** (2026-01-28T08:04:45.000Z): Hahaha, right right right, changed the name😁
  - **做时间的朋友 520** (2026-01-28T08:05:26.000Z): No unh, sleep will be much better at night｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡😭
- **闯荡美利坚 · 2026-01-27T15:58:08.000Z**: Senior sister's investment income has long surpassed her main job, right?
  - **cscsdai** (2026-01-27T23:45:13.000Z): Too strong
  - **慢慢长大的南瓜** (2026-01-27T23:51:50.000Z): Do I look a bit impressive in my writing... Actually, if we take 1231 as the end point, U.S. stocks are still losing money this month... Gold and silver made money, but the 1W and 5W I mentioned are n
  - **慢慢长大的南瓜** (2026-01-27T23:52:08.000Z): Hahaha, actually as steady as an old dog, not strong at all...
