why? the risk/reward for the trade is set and pretty solid upside vs. downside. ofc i still may get stomped out though



401k - index funds DCA - devastated this year
roth ira - index funds DCA devastated this year
HSA - index funds DCA devastated this year
max ibonds new for me this year

i dont sell these or try to out smart

can pm me for specifics that i do but nothing fancy and pretty generic

brokerage:

atm 75% cash

have trimmed a lot of longterm holdings in august and since then primarily been trading using vix and put/call ratio

i play with 3-4 swings at a time. since its short term gains doesnt matter if u sell at 2 weeks or 11 months. i have small amounts of all my core long positions. have had amd since 2018, disney, uber i have small amounts of still. generally spread across the sectors. i have at least a couple to cover the main sectors. jpm and wfc still holding from covid etc. biogen which ive mentioned here was my biggest healthcare stock. my longterm holdings now are not really evenly spread because of the selling ive done. with next major drops my plan is to repair this. ive got a watch list for each sector

currently swinging
tesla 123.50 long
nio 10.00 long
mrna 125.xx long
sh 15.6 long

waiting to dump my big money in until 340 spy which is slightly above pre covid low. til then just timing and playing pivot points which relation to vix and put/call ratio. most of the time playing with shares, RARELY when all the stars align ill play a naked option. i shorted Exxon successfully in june which was a nice payday, but that one was balanced since i own shares in exxon too. i had a tesla put that same time which destroyed me haha.

as far as ur dividend stocks go

arcc
nmfc

these are the two im planning on picking up. high yielding ones.

i think coinbase is gonna go and crypto will take another leg down as a result. have been thinking about biti for some time now but not ultra confident to pull the trigger. although every crypto bro i speak to online or irl just makes me more confident about shorting it lol

i'm a boglehead at heart, but when the market is live, i can't stand not to get my feet wet. i'm full vti in my roth ira and day trade with fun money

recently, I've fell in love with put credit spreads. found a nice little strat where i don't need to watch the markets all day like i do when day trading. i work from home already, and can't stand the time spent fiddling with charts, keeping up with the news, market data, etc. it's essentially stealing my time for hobbies. this new strat starts at 9:30-10am PDT, but requires full attentiveness to it for 1-3 hours. it's a good trade off with my time, and is giving me far higher returns

gonna start transitioning to that, and eventually get back to my hobbies

i'm also a bagholder of TSLA. however, i think it'll jump up some time in jan and i'll probably get out.

my tsla story is kinda funny. i was doing a ACATS transfer from RH to WeBull with my shares, and TSLA shot up like crazy and i wanted to sell, but my shares were stuck in limbo for almost a week. then i started to DCA down (245 to $186), then thought alright, the next bounce i'm out, then the twitter saga happened and it's been falling ever since. in hindsight, i should have just sold at the 5-7% loss after the acats transfer instead of holding, oh well

Qs are looking So weak and spy can’t take off with just the Dow

If we do get Santa I don’t think he’s staying for long.

Happy long weekend away from this sheit

It's irony. Risk/rewards means shit when you have such a chart as tsla. falling knife/10. I've said since months, wait a fucking structure, but people keep trying to catch the ultimate bottom like everyday while elon is selling his own lmao
if you swing trade ofc it doesnt apply

The only thing really carrying up my portfolio is some of these dow jones stocks I eyed to buy. A lot of them been relatively strong compared to spy and tech. Thanks for the heads up on those dividend stocks, that yield is nice! I typically eye the same stocks and add more on sell offs. Try to scatter around different sectors as you mentioned. I haven't really taken any gains yet just working on building positions larger and going with the flow of the market (these for long term holds). The one sector I don't have anything in is the financial one so nice coincidence you brought those 2 up

Man coin what a disaster of an ipo lol. I caught a bounce shortly after IPO mid 200s up sold near 300. Kept a core position but when it made new all time lows I got out. Glad I did haha.



Sitting at the screens all day for the market is so mentally taxing imo. Unless you're full on hooked but yeah I agree finding something that doesn't require you to sit there for hours on end is the best!

I'm kind of bias but I think TSLA will be fine long term. I would probably stick with it unless you absolutely need that cash for RL or something.

So refreshing when this is closed haha

Wow, $TSLA is almost below Walmart

Tesla market cap is 10% lower then Walmart with today

Imma get stomped out of this trade rip. Can’t believe all these retail naked puts are going to get paid out

I always take a small payout on the first payroll of each year, tempted to dip into Tesla. I haven't strayed from investing in the Total US Market in probably over half a year now though. I should remain vigilant.

time to take profit on tsla boys
