Admittedly I've made a lot of buys recently.  I'm just a little sheepish about sharing like you all do.  But in the goal of keeping discussion here alive, I will do so.

I cashed in a lot of company stock options and bought when the market was pretty low.  I increased nearly all of my existing positions, so detailing my buys would just be naming the equities in my portfolio.  So I'll go ahead and do that. My portfolio basically breaks down into 3 sub-portfolios:

Income stocks
ARCC, BXSL, FSK, HTGC, LYB, MAIN, OMF, OXLC, RIO

Growth stocks
AAPL, ABBV, AMD, AMZN, AVGO, GOOG, LLY, META, MSFT, NVDA

ETFs
FNGU, NAIL, NVDL, SOXL, TECL, USD

Current annual dividend income range from stocks: $7,815 - $8,240.  The ETFs add probably $500 more but they fluctuate a lot, so I treat anything they give as a bonus.

I have planned out the next $190k of purchases, and I do plan to bring back some relatively safer ETFs like SCHD and VOO. They will serve the purpose as "first to tear down" should I need money. The girlfriend and I eventually want to buy a house on the Cape together, so they will be the downpayment money.
