Great question, Jake.

The only individual stock from the early days that I still own is AMAT, a darling little semiconductor company. That little guy has been crushing it. Maybe that will be my lucky Apple one day 😉.

All the others, 10 or so from various sectors, have been sold off for tax loss harvesting over the years. Some of them have gone on to better days since I’ve sold them, some not. I honestly don’t even remember what most of them were.

I also bought a broad-based Vanguard index fund, VDADX. While not terrible, I stopped contributing to it in 2016 or 2017 when I learned more about expense ratios, switching to VTSAX. This one is higher. We’ve been preferentially selling that fund in “early retirement.”

Honestly though, I threw very little money at stocks when I first started investing. Probably less than $3k-5k total in a brokerage account for several years until I caught the early retirement bug. I was only getting the company match on my 401k then too!

At the very least, I’m glad that I still put the bulk of my money in passive index funds. My only “regret” is not contributing more towards index funds earlier.
