How does my paper portfolio account look as a high school student?

Started my account on Investopedia Stock Simulator, here's my current holdings: https://imgur.com/a/SxOaFmY

Anything that I should change before 2019? Thanks!

Just curious as to why you chose airlines and believe in GE

I bought in early, and didn't realize how low it could go... 😖

Too many holdings to stay on top of imo, at this amount it's going to feel like a part time job

You're very overweight tech and banks/financials, probably better off with S&P500.

You made some great entry points in your tech though.

I'd drop dropbox, spotify, ge, tsla, twtr, and switch T with VZ

Drop FB till the wind changes

AET should become CVS or is it a cash payout idk?

Trim or cut AAPL and your banks so your BRK.B position doesn't over expose you

Switch GE, FB, and Twitter to short positions and your lookin good

Honestly that looks really solid. I may remove or add a few if I were to take it over but not really much wrong there

You have way too many companies. Pick one stock and explain to me its business model. Tell me how it makes money, what its revenue streams are, what's its cost structure, why the products are valuable, and why do you think the company will be more valuable in 2-5 years.

I bet you can't even do that for one stock in your portfolio.

Because he’s in high school and probably holding it fictionally for 6 months. If this was a real portfolio with real money I could see your point but being rude to someone isn’t how you teach them the important things to look for within a company.
