What do you invest in?

I've always been heavily invested in the technology industry and companies that seem popular on HN.

Currently my quantum computing investments have done quiet well. In the past, Google, Apple, and Cloudflare were big winners for me.

Although, over the long term, my performance with more volatility and less tax efficiency barely better than $SPY (mine: 16.28% vs spy: 15.71% annualized return). Schwab says benchmarks an "aggressive, but diversified" portfolio (more bonds and international) to have 12.57% annualized.

Similar portfolio here then; I’ve been a bit more defensive the past 1-3 years though, as “even to me” recent tech growth and valuations seem frothy…?
You’re not wrong but don’t forget TINA…

Historically, tech comes out on top, even with the higher volatility.
