I'm not as confident with individual stocks, so I tend to play sectors. TQQQ (A 3x Tech ETF) was my biggest gainer in 2020 (followed by URTY, UMDD, and GBTC). Probably gained around 250%, although I sold a bit on the way up. I know many people dislike leverages funds, but Tech seemed like a no-brainer at the time, so it made sense to leverage. Re-balancing a good chunk of my portfolio into it really helped to erase the deep loses from March. Individually, AC, UUUU, CNQ, and TEX have been good to me.

Biggest dogs so far have been individual stocks. WRAP (-40%) and FLDM (-35%, which at one point was at +70%, but I wasn't smart enough to cash out during the hype). I also leaned a bit too hard into Gold/Silver a few months ago so I'm down on those at the moment, although I still think longer term they are still good plays).

Moving forward into 2021 and beyond, I've shifted a good chunk into Energy (both traditional which I think is really undervalued, and renewable which I think will get a lot of political/social support), Uranium (go Nuclear!), Marijuana, Bitcoin, and REITs. I'm also trying to diversify more from North America...ie. Russia (RUSX), Japan, Africa (FAH).
