Hi all, I am currently studying and wondering if I should start to invest in rocket labs? I mainly use Sharesies and currently have ~$200 NZD in my Sharesies account. I had a look at RKLB and seen that it looks to be at a high (about $105 USD) is it worth investing in it today? Or should I invest in something else.

Help would be greatly appreciated thanks

(For those wondering what I am currently in I have attached screenshots)

Hi lads, just turned 30. I know, quite late to the party but I started investing into Stocks and ETFs 8 months ago. The 2025 bullish AI & Gold run FOMO had me finally breaking my 7 year procrastination.

My initial strategy was to hold 50% Long term and 50% Short term(1-2 years); after the ST 1-2 years or 50% return target (whichever comes first) is reached I would then take this profit and reinvest into Themetic ETFs or VOO.

For LT, I bought ASX Gold ETFs and NZX Dividend Stocks.

For ST, I needed max profit in a short time so I bought some high risk, high reward US stocks.

I have learnt a lot since and have started trying swing trading and leveraged bull ETFs on another platform and do a bit here on Sharesies too.

My question to you is, should I continue down this naive path or Who am I kidding? Just put it all into VOO and call it a day?

TLDR: Invested for 8 months, turned 30. Gained only 3% as of today. Strategy to hold 50/50 long term & short term stocks and put short term big gains into long term to maximise capital. Is it sound strategy or just chuck em all into VOO DCA and look at it when I turn 70?

Any advice is truly appreciated! Cheers

I started about 18months ago or so for a bit of fun, I’ve kept adding more money into and actually starting to enjoy it a little.
I’d love to hear your opinions on my portfolio
TIA!

edit 27m, buying for the long term plus a bit of fun

Now don't worry I know the stock will dip, I have also seen a 500k drop over a month. Been many ups and downs. Holding long term. Average price around the high $3 or whatever.

Ignore the average share price it's data I haven't loaded correctly into Stock Events which I use to track my portfolio.

… He said as he put more into the reddit stock of the month.

I keep a DCA into total world foundation fund as a slow and steady for retirement then every few months when I’ve saved up some disposable income, I’ll do some research and pop it into a long shot. This is as a result of the last 5ish years.

The hope is that one day in the next 15-20 years, this part of my investment strategy will fund building my wife and I’s dream house. What’s your goals? Strategy to get there?

Randomly checked my kids Simplicity account to see what they are invested in, and sort of surprised i guess to see largest holding is Simplicity Living shares, as well as Simplicity Mortgages in there too. Not sure i'm fully comfortable with the fund choosing to invest in, ah, itself? I like the US exposures, less so this self supporting thing, plus the NZ stocks.

So, is Kernal going to be a better proposition for my kids accounts? Initially chose Simplicity due to low fees basically...

im not sure if doing something wrong, i just need general

Sold all my RKLB at 105 want to reenter and use the profit to expand my portfolio any suggestions or tips

I think I’m gifted? The contributed spiked up when I went from Milford to choose your own for some reason, actual is closer to $13.5k
