Newbie123 saysDholliday126 saysI'm up 125K in the past 3 months in stocks. Plus 500K in my house over the past 6 years. Let me tell you boys, doom may sell, but it doesn't appreciate.
Asterisks, it all paper gains. Double jinks.
Niiice! Congrats!! Maybe you have mentioned it already....which stocks did you mainly buy?
Tech stocks?
OMG I just wrote this super long response and then hit the back button and erased it. So I'll try to sum.
I leave it up to my stock guy. He believes one must be 90% vested in a basket of 40 stocks. Inflation is a 8% so you gotta shoot for 15% returns. The only way to get that is tech and tech ipo. Big Motley Fool fan, pays for a lot of their research. He had me in fangs, shopify, zoom, stichfix, peleton, datadog.. basically crazy unicorns I would never do o...
I'd take some gains here as tech / faang is definitely overvalued. PTON needs to show they can become profitable, so far they have a bike and a treadmill - ok they tack on the subscriptions onto that which are the real money makers, but they are far away from profitability. I don't know how long nflx can show the same revenue growth with all the competition entering. AAPL has always been solid and is probably the safest, but I'd wait for the Q2 earnings before investing more or sell some before Q2 earnings if you have a lot. All these tech trannies are priced for major earnings gains and can easily disappoint. This is not a generally bearish market outlook, but tech has gotten ahead of itself just a little.
But you are buying from someone else who is selling it because they think it is a bad investment at that price.
I’m not so prideful to think that I’m the more informed investor in even 50% of those transactions, and anyone that can consistently “win” at stock picking
Never get out of stocks, until you need the dough or you are a geezer who wants only income.
Wow you must have a lot of aapl stock for that much dividend. Good for you.
Would suck to lose my house down payment. I've only been waiting to move from apartments to a SFH for 25 years.
If you understand an industry very well (because maybe you work in it) and have a fairly clear view of who the disruptors will be then picking individual stocks kicks the shit out of indexes. Riskier though. Not a good idea for older folks unless they are already wealthy.
Most of the people spouting the “I understand the industry so I know what stocks to pick” line are code monkeys who understand nothing about investing.
The Left REALLY needs a White cop to kill a Black man. Time is a-wastin'

The problem is that black cops kill black men at a higher rate than white cops do.
Wow, call me a moron, refute none of my points
code monkeys who understand nothing about investing

Got out at DoW 26,000, not much change from today’s result.
You can't time assets, you just need to be in them. Unless you like getting fucked by inflation...
you can automate certain patterns then you can make a lot of money every day, esp. in a volatile market as right now.

Those of you who know me a bit from my history know that I don’t pull this trigger lightly. I didn’t fall for all the bear schemes in the last five years. I’ve been a bullish investor for the past 10 years.
The last time I did this (everything to bonds) was in December of 2007.
