Just opened a $500 "newbie test and learn" account on Robinhood. This is my analysis for first 2 week. Thoughts?

So as soon as I set up my first portfolio on Oct. 3, everything went downhill from there. Today is the first day in 2 weeks that I've seen gains.

My own newbie analysis:

• Twitter looks like it was a big mistake, but I'm hoping they come to a buyout deal with Salesforce soon.
• GoPro seems to be a bad choice too, I figured their Karma would help in gains, but I guess the announcement of the DJI Mavic (competitor) had the opposite effect.
• Apple and Dutch Bank seem to be the winners so far

I'm playing with $500 to learn and get used to trading and playing the market. What are your thoughts and opinions on my portfolio selection?
