My stock and IRA stock account recovery

Oct. 18, 2018

Introduction


It is time for me to get organized. Recently I reviewed through gmail and then recovered the accounts from Ameritrade I had last 10 years. I did sell all the stock and IRA stock back in 2008, and then I moved on. The idea is to focus on one thing only, at that time, it is the immigration.

After 10 years, I learn that I may make the mistake and I should have allowed those stocks to stay in my stock account instead.

What if 


It is so hard to get in Faceook or Amazon to work as a software programmer. But at the very beginning with the phone screen with those two companies, I should purchase 100 shares of stock. I had a phone screen with Facebook January 2015, and I had first phone screen with Amazon back in 2007.

2007 Amazon stock price:   $80/ share -> 8000 dollar investment -> 2018, 100 * 1800 -> $180, 000
2015 Facebook stock price: $78/ share -> 7800 dollar investment -> 2018, 150 * 100 -> $15,000

I can quickly learn from stock's value of those companies, and then I also benefit from the investment more than 100% easily.

Actionable Items

I like to write a blog about my first Amazon phone screen interviews and my impression of Amazon as a company and culture.
