I hope you buy tons of stock then. Go prove me wrong. D+ has fewer viewers now than they had in Q1 of '22. They are still saying they will be profitable next year. You might just be right and I'm wayyyyy off.
Most of the QQQ strength has been with the Magnificent 7. NVDA and SMCI are on fire and still have a ways to go but all the tech stocks that are heavily into AI development are good plays IMO.
Exactly, I buy 5 sh or so at a time, have accumulated 75 sh NVDA at $449.90, 50 PANW at $305.06, 75 CRWD at $265.94, 15 SMCI at $659.12. I used to wait, wait, wait for lower prices on high PE, high flyers, problem is they rarely drop in price except big selloffs. Even then they won’t drop to classic “value stocks.”
I just piled in anyways very recently, another volatile high flier, can’t buy them all, I just accumulate a few during these HOT periods.
The technology weighting in the S&P 500 is about 30%. This is probably about 10% higher than it should be in a portfolio for most people wanting to stay diversified imo.
Yet most of my IRA money is in this index.

I would have much preferred - and been better off - to have bought big at $300 when it jumped up after hours on their pre-earnings announcement and let it ride ... but I sat there and didn’t do that thinking this thing will cool off, but that didn’t happen. So I bought and sold it on dips and runs and did well …. but to answer your question, would have been easier and better to have bought and held early in that run …

For anyone who prospects for dividend-paying investments, you might find this FREE website a useful tool to add to your search routines. It is entirely free and is updated weekly.

February 20th I celebrated my 44th year in the investment business.
Congratulations !!!!
What has been your single-most successful investment or advice given during your career ?? It is not bragging, if someone asks …
Had alot of them during all those years and had some that didn't work out . Had a proffesor at UK who taught of all thing "investments" and he was a client of mine. He would always ask me to speak to his class. Always got the same question every semester, Is timing important and the answer was always easy. I started when the dow was 767. Saw twenty percent interest rates, fourteen percent inflation, fourteen percent unemployment, Hunt brothers try to corner the silver market, presidential assanation attempt, stock market meltdown in 1987 and you get the picture. Today we stand at 39,000 and counting. Its not timing , it's TIME!Congratulations !!!!

"Not timing the market but time in the market" is music to my ears. Thanks for posting 1977 Cat!
broke out of weekly consolidation on earnings surprise. Up 7% this AM. I'll wait for the profit takers to come in and then pick up some shares as I think this is the start of a nice uptrend.@jameslee32 : KR blasted off.
Thanks for the headsup
Sold some last year at $52.50 and it's down some today to $55. Although it's my 2nd largest position in one of my IRA's, it's still not too large. Plus I'm playing with the house's money at this point.@jameslee32 : KR blasted off.
Btw, congrats to anyone who got in to ETRN under $5.

Congrats on your big win! When a stock has a strong breakout like this it is normally, but not always followed by a pull back. It already off it's daily high of 5.31 to currently 4.71. There is a ton of profit taking going on right now so I would wait for the dust to settle. It appears from the charts to have broken out of a lengthy consolidation period which means this thing be set for a nice bullish trend.
Thanks! Still underwater on this one, but not as bad as previously. At least issue still pays decent dividend.
Selling properties and re-structuring some … still hoping for a solid rebound and path forward.
I'm in GLD right now and it should be a decent safe haven for now.
My timing has always been lousy with Gold investing, I missed the copper move, I’m back in Coal today, CEIX has treated me good over the years with its dividend and growth, catch ing it on the comeback trail. Coal is not finished yet in many countries who can’t go green! My Craft’s ARLP is another good company, but I prefer CEIX.
Pretty amazing to see what GME, AMC and HOLO have been doing ?? I believe the incredible volume is what had access to Etrade yesterday shut down for most of the day. I tried to log on several times and never could. Very frustrating ...
Disclosure: I've never traded in any of these stocks, but find the whole situation amazing and mind-boggling. I do watch from the sidelines, though. GOOD LUCK to ALL who are trading in them !!!

Are the Apes still using Robin Hood? I know nothing about the GME story outside of some documentaries. I was wondering if they turned their back on Robin Hood, or if they stayed with them? Seemed pretty shady to me.
Well, you know far more than me !!
These runs blow me away and damned if I can understand the mechanics of the herd. I know everyone is not making bank, but some clever, if not actually crooked, folks certainly must be.
There is currently some sector rotation in the metals including gold, silver cooper etc.
Today I can add that I started IN 1980 with the Dow at 767 and now were at 40,000 and it took 44 years.
