You might find it surprising, but I don't look all that often at how my stocks are performing. Sure, I keep up with the overall market and check in on some individual stocks that I own from time to time. However, I've found that it simply is not a good use of my time to constantly monitor the performance of stocks that I intend to keep for years to come.
That being said, I recently performed a quick run-through of how the stocks in my portfolio have performed so far in 2018. I found that my three biggest year-to-date winners are Align Technology (Nasdaq:ALGN), Editas Medicine (Nasdaq:EDIT), and NVIDIA (Nasdaq:NVDA).
Align has soared nearly 50% so far this year, while NVIDIA has gained over 30% year to date. Editas is up more than 20%. While these are three very different businesses and stocks, it occurred to me that they all share three common denominators.
