It's your retirement account and someday you need to be able to just check it quarterly if that keeps you from stressing. You can add some of the MOMO tickers when they crash hard. There are a lot of good companies that just have horribly priced stocks for now.
The rest of us are trading some FOMO for fun, but the allocation is appropriate so it won't wreck our lives when a position gets cut in half. Notice Divemenow made some nice trades. Also notice he didn't lose his mind and make a huge bet. That's how you live to play next week.
Added a few shares of QQQ on the opening dip. Have a lot of tech puts open so I can't lose my mind unless a real dip comes.
The rules that I have in place in the taxable are what have made it successful:
1. Minimum yield of 2.5% at all times.
2. No short term tax gain impact (anymore)
3. Current individual stock maximum of $10k, only ETFs above that. (AVGO recently broke through this ceiling but it's the golden child so that's okay)
4. No individual stocks that don't pay a dividend.
The ROTH has been rule free, and ironically that has left me too much freedom to chase the wrong things.
