Was up for most of the day, but down at the end.  May is going down in the books as junk, but here's hoping June is better.

Taxable
Winner: DFEN, the defense industry triple that's not in the ROTH
Loser: STX, continuing its cool-off

ROTH
Winner: BDRY, this one is up and down like a yo-yo!
Loser: NAIL, ouch!

I need to put a few more of your triples in a Ken watchlist. 

I think you will probably do OK by end of year.  This summer I don't know.  Market tends to lie still then but I expect volatility with no real direction.  Last year was unique so I pay no mind to any trends then.  

I'm sure you beat me up in 2020 coming off March though we hadn't met yet. I'll just keep bragging while I can.  I had too much cash last year and left returns on the table.  This year it worked because I missed a beatdown and was able to throw $10K here or there at will on a good dip.  There are a ton of newish investors that got smoked the past quarter.  I am certain of that because most of the Momo got hit 40-50% or worse.  I was able to buy it and some of the profitable ones are flying the last few weeks.  

Just position yourself so you are comfortable if the SPY corrects 10%.  I don't predict that but so many unknowns make it possible.  It's not that important if I am comfortable with your port.  I am going to keep hoping QQQ gets whacked so I can add more.  Forgive me for that
