Investing in Apple stock during the late 1990s, before the launch of the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, would have been transformative. The company was struggling at the time, but those who recognized Steve Jobs’ return and his vision for innovation were rewarded when Apple became one of the most valuable companies in the world. @Frisbee
Invest $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ in the early 2000s. In 2001, Amazon was still considered a niche online bookstore, and its stock price was relatively low compared to its future growth. By 2020, Amazon had grown into a dominant global tech and e-commerce giant. Getting in early would have been a massive payoff. @AhGong
Back to 2004 and buy Google.Google went public in 2004 with an IPO price of $85 per share. Over the next decade, it became a global search engine giant, expanding into advertising, cloud computing, and other services, with its stock value increasing substantially @deal2deal
I wanna go back in the 80s, and invest in $Microsoft(MSFT)$. Microsoft went public in 1986, with its stock priced at $21. By 1999, it had grown significantly, and by 2021, it was one of the top companies globally. Investing in Microsoft’s early days would have been a highly lucrative long-term investment. @luv2trade
Before Netflix shifted to streaming, it was primarily a DVD rental service. Investing in the company in the mid-2000s, before it revolutionized how we watch TV and movies, would have been a brilliant decision. Fast forward to today, Netflix is a major player in entertainment. @Frisbee
Invest in $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ in 2010. Tesla was still a young company, and many people questioned whether electric vehicles would ever be mainstream. Its stock was around $20 in 2010, and today it’s worth much more. Investors who had faith in Elon Musk’s vision for sustainable energy and disruptive transportation saw huge returns. @AhGong

I'd probably choose the early days of Bitcoin, around 2010 or 2011, when it was still relatively obscure. At the time, it was trading for just a few dollars per coin. With the knowledge of how much it would rise in value over the next decade, that would’ve been an incredibly lucrative investment. But beyond just the monetary gains, it would also be fascinating to witness how early adopters of disruptive technologies shape the future of finance. @nickname168
I’d go back to when the wheel was invented and buy shares in that on the Stone Age Rock Exchange. I reckon on an initial investment of a single goat I’d own all the goats in the world by now!
I would join the ESSP the minute I joined the company. It was due to a previous bad experience where it took me ages to get my sterling pound back to Singapore that I decided not to get into another saga. Instead of sterling pound, it will be in USD this time round. It was gradually that I am allowed to bring in SGD after the sales of the ESSP, that I decided to give it a shot. Anyway, it is never too late to join in the game. [Happy][LOL][Smile][Grin][Chuckle]. It also means I have lesser worries to bring down to USD 60K. 😬😓😞[Bless][Sweats] @MHh @HelenJanet @melson
if I could turn back time, I'll say pre-covid would be a great way to invest. With most of stocks with Magnificent 7 included drop to a "reasonable price", one would say "hallelujah"... let's go to the moon and back with millions in USD terms @MillionaireTiger @koolgal @BillionaireN
Replying to @Shyon:Thanks for sharing 🥳//@Shyon:If I could go back in time, I’d definitely revisit 2008, right after the financial crisis. It was a time when the market had dropped significantly, and there were plenty of undervalued opportunities. If I had been more experienced back then, I would have taken advantage of the deep discounts on high-quality stocks during that period of fear and uncertainty. Looking back, the key lesson I would bring with me is the importance of patience and long-term vision.

The best time to buy is today and consistently invest in what we can, we cannot turn back the clock to think about what we could do on hindsight, it does not work that way.
It’s always good to stay invested and learn new skills in investing. I would recommend $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ to whoever new, the community is good platform.
if I could go back in time, I would start my investment earlier when I start work, then in that case my portfolio is significant and by now, I'm will be in headinf semi retirement. @InvestCM

If I could go back in time, I'd go back to 2012. This was roughly around the time I first heard about Bitcoin, and it was priced at around $13 each, I was just beginning my investment journey so due to inexperience at the time and my lack of knowledge around crypto currencies, I believed Bitcoin wouldn't go anywhere. Boy, was I wrong, I invested roughly $5,000 that year into well performing companies, but if I had invested it all into bitcoin at its current price, I would have been a multi-millionaire. Looking back, I would have put more time into researching crypto and bitcoin before shrugging it off as something that would go nowhere. The key thing to take away from this is that thorougly researching investments is a key tool everyone should use when looking into investment opportunitie
If I could unwind the clock, I would change my investment strategy to be more proactive with changes in the market. This means that I would not simply accumulate shares & forget about it. Even if I do want to keep shares I would sell aggressive covered call against it so I put my investment to work. Current my mindset is to engage in options trading more actively, going long on stocks with good fundamentals & most importantly catching these stocks at their lows. I have done these in the past by selling naked puts in NVDA at strike $100 & collecting about $800 & keeping almost 100% of the premiums.
I would join the ESSP the minute I joined the company. It was due to a previous bad experience where it took me ages to get my sterling pound back to Singapore that I decided not to get into another saga.

I consider myself as a long term investor and would typically prefer to hold and average down during times of opportunities. However, looking back at 2020 plunge, then 2021 crazy highs followed by the crash after that, I learned that it is important to take profits to lock it in. If the stock or ETF then experience weakness, that would be the opportunity to buy it back it. This is even more so for China/ HK stocks that are more volatile than US stocks and the highs are shorter than the lows. This led me to take profit in the surge in HK stocks last year. If I could go back in time, I wished I had taken profit in 2021!
