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.)

Gradually build your emergency fund back. It might not be a good time to sell when you need cash. And nobody is suggesting a huge cash position. It's generally good to be invested, but no cash at all means no ability to capitalize on opportunities. Maybe a MAR 20th like dip doesn't happen for a long time, but every earnings season puts some good companies on sale, and corrections normally come at least once a year.

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.

Okay I won't sell COF.
MRNA is in my ROTH, so doesn't factor in. Holy cow down 50!  Man, I wanted to wait for FDA approval.

Ugh; I just looked. Nvidia and Tesla are trying their hardest to pull the ROTH up, but Moderna's drop is too steep. Bad day for the ROTH. Taxable is up as usual. I need to figure out a path forward for the ROTH.

new positions in CME and BITF
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

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.

Oh no! Fenders is back with his double quote!
I better hope my TD purchase works out, because now it'll be posted into this thread for all eternity.
