I have avoided looking at my E*Trade account in 2022. I know it will not be pretty. My portfolio is made up of high growth recently public companies stretching from Snowflake and Cloudflare in cloud computing to Tesla, Rivian, Nio, and Li in Electric vehicles, and the Greystone Bitcoin and Ethereum Trusts in Crypto.

I have held most of the stocks for more than a year and they are having a terrible Winter. Google shows they lost about 20% of their value so far this year. Although they are collectively still up over 100% since I bought them.
