So yeah, I'm 100% invested.  I'll work to change that in 2022.

In fact, my car repair bills were so steep last month that I should replenish my Emergency Fund.  Looks like I have three options:
1. Sell some company stock.  Price isn't where I want it, and a taxable event.
2. Sell Capital One Financial.  I definitely want to own this company, but I can sell now and pick it back up next year when funds arrive.  Not a taxable event because I'm at a loss.
3. Run with a low emergency fund until next year.

(Obviously I could sell virtually anything else, but if there's going to be a taxable event, it might as well be company stock.)

Don't even think about selling COF. It's positioned very well and it's cheap. No doubt it will be seeing new highs again. You should average down. And next year you may be paying $180 instead of $153 today. 

You should have sold MRNA   . That will give you some capital. But it's down $50 this morning and probably headed to $200 over the next 3-5 months.

Figured I had to dabble in crypto at some point lol

I actually like that little company BITF and what they do. This company is unique. The company owns and operates server farms comprising computers that primarily validates transactions on the Bitcoin Blockchain and earning cryptocurrency from block rewards and transaction fees. Figured why not under $7 for fun

I don't think you can fight the crypto interest. Even if you don't understand it, it's hear to stay.

Yes I hold HUT and COIN and both have been good to me. I had BITF on my watch list and it may catch up to HUT soon.

I just bought some myself. Looks like the next meme stock 

MSTR, MQ and VYGFVF also going to be long term winners

Nothing fancy, just putting some dividends to use.

Here's a tip.  Don't FOMO stocks after a huge  run, over and over.   MRNA is still overvalued.  Staying above 300 wont be easy when next year's earnings estimates get a haircut.
