2025 Recap | Sum Up Your 2025 Investment Journey In One Sentence, What Would It Be?

As of the market open on December 31, $S&P 500(.SPX)$ and $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ are up 17.25% and 21.27% year-to-date, respectively.

Today marks the final trading day of the year. How does your investment report card look? Did you outperform the broader market?

Everyone’s 2025 looked different. Some chose a steady approach, others leaned into risk. Some outperformed the market, while others learned how to manage risk more effectively. The market doesn’t give everyone the same answer—but reviewing and reflecting helps make those answers clearer.

Next, we’d like to invite you to do two things:

① Use one sentence to record your 2025 investment result

It doesn’t need to be perfect—just honest. Consider it a clear summary for your 2025 self.

Was the goal achieved? Which decision worked well? Where did you deviate from your plan?

② Write down one investment goal for 2026 that you can come back and review

You can share it in the community, or simply write it in your notes for your future self.

Investment growth is never achieved overnight—it’s built gradually through repeated reflection and review.

Examples: one-sentence summaries of 2025 investment performance:

  • “Holding QQQ, a 20% return—low stress, slept well.”

  • “Completely exceeded my expectations at the start of the year.”

  • “That April dip-buying trade turned out right.”

Your 2026 investment goal can be simple too:

  • “I hope to achieve a 20% return in 2026.”

    🌟🌟🌟My core strategy of Dollar Cost Averaging into index ETFs such as $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPYM)$ and $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ have done well as these ETFs have hit their all time highs this year.

    My 2026 Investment Goal is simple: Continue to dollar cost average into these index ETFs as investing is a marathon, not a sprint.

    The power of an index ETF lies in its elegant simplicity.  By doing so, I gain exposure to a wide range of companies, at a low cost with  minimum fuss.  Slow and Steady Wins The Race 🥰🥰🥰🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰

    Cheers to a Prosperous, Simple and Incredibly Profitable 2026 Everyone 🥰🥰🥰🎊🎊🎊💰💰💰

    2025 wasn’t too bad for me overall. I managed to catch the AI rally, which did most of the heavy lifting for my portfolio and helped me stay ahead of the broader market. Looking back, the biggest lesson wasn’t about picking themes, but about execution.

    My main mistake was greed. I didn’t lock in enough profits when I should have, and during major pullbacks I ended up giving back a meaningful portion of what were once very solid gains. It was a good reminder that managing exits and risk matters just as much as being right on the trend.

    For 2026, my goal is simple: catch a major trend and ride it with more discipline. I’m especially hoping one of my core holdings, Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 1.5X Shares(TSLL)$ , really shines this year—let’s dream a little and aim for USD 800 😄—but more importantly, I want to stay consistent, take profits more deliberately, and let big winners truly work for me.

    2025 showed me that good entries matter less than disciplined exits.

    In 2026, my focus is income-first trades, tighter risk control, and fewer but higher-quality setups.

    今年虽然总体是赚钱的,但是回报率却是远远低于大市。今年因为在觉得股票高位不敢加仓,结果错过了更多的涨幅。总结:真是一山还有一山高。

    One-sentence summary of my 2025 investing:
    2025 taught me that disciplined risk management and patience matter more than being right, especially when trading options in fast-moving markets.

    My investment goal for 2026:
    In 2026, my goal is to compound steadily by focusing on high-probability option setups, stricter position sizing, and consistent execution rather than chasing returns.

    2️⃣ 我的2026年投资目标:
    2026年,我不打算一味追求更高回报,而是希望在控制波动的前提下,争取稳定跑赢大盘,并把仓位更多放在现金流清晰、具备长期护城河的资产上。


    对我来说,投资已经不只是“结果导向”,而是一套可以长期复制、在不同市场环境下都能生存的决策方式。2026年,我更想把这套方法继续打磨成熟。

    1️⃣ 我的2025年投资一句话总结:
    在高波动的一年里,我没有追求每一段行情,而是靠着顺着AI与核心资产趋势持有,回报略微跑赢大盘,也换来了更稳定的心态。


    回头看,2025年最正确的决定不是“买了哪只股票”,而是在市场情绪最极端的时候,没有轻易推翻自己的计划。指数年内涨幅亮眼,但过程并不平顺,几次回调都在考验持仓信心。我也犯过错,比如对部分短线机会反应过慢,错过了快速扩散的主题行情,但整体组合控制住了回撤,让收益曲线更平滑。
