# My Reddit Stock Picks Experiment: A Year in Review
## Background
80% of my portfolio is in the S&P 500, but I wanted to be more aggressive while I'm younger. I knew I could afford to gamble a bit, so in January 2025, I bought 11 of the most-mentioned stocks on various investing subreddits. There were some I didn't invest in for personal reasons, and I didn't put the full 20% into these picks—I still have cash on the sidelines.

## My Takeaways
Although both groups of Reddit picks performed well, the market and Redditors were fearful more often than they were positive. More importantly, **history is not an indicator of future performance**, and as many have been saying for the past few years, we're due for a pullback. That pullback may come today or in five years—no one knows.
The skeptic in me believes that while the trend may continue, you never know:
- Who will continue their growth
- Who will falter
- Who will be the next big thing
- Who will ink big deals
- Who will run out of money
- Whose tech will become superior or inferior
All that to say: **a tech ETF might be safer than choosing the wrong individual stocks**. And the S&P 500 is safer than those.
