@dividend_hero_100 did never understand the hype haha. Too bad you lost something with it. Better days are coming 🙏

$751 -30,74% It was at the beginning of my journey with a ridiculously small amount invested (€10). Even though it wasn't a large sum, it made me take this seriously, and now I am much more meticulous when choosing stocks.

@Piet24 Gazprom and Wish are companies I should never invest in. I don't like fast fashion and e-commerce companies that sell cheap items :) Gazprom is also a company that I would stay away from because I like cleaner energy better. But... that is also not one that is going well 😂 Got iShares Global Clean Energy ETF $INRG with 26.76% down. But will see what it brings in the future.

The ones I was scared to make because prices were too high… and they kept going higher 😄

@lukewarm maybe that is also my worst investment... 😃 I still have a few nice ones on my list that have achieved good returns in the past.

@Wiski03 maybe a bit too futuristic. I also made a loss on it, but now I try to be a bit more realistic. I don't see people traveling to space anytime soon.

1. $FRCB, -85%, although that was a calculated risk and only a small investment sum. That one actually bothers me the least of the three.
2. $PLUG, -65%, that was simply stupid.
3. $NTG, -45%, perhaps the biggest disappointment because I actually thought that would be a smart pick but my investmentcase was flawed.

All three positions closed already.

@DieEnte7 Thanks for sharing! I also got an investment in Global Clean Energy ETF $INRG that is not doing very good at the moment just like $PLUG but I think this one is one for the future.

@Demas Well I‘d imagine that your ETF will recover at some point. Clean Energy is unavoidable if you ask me. $PLUG probably won‘t survive until then if they can‘t get their expenses under control.
