for those who invest, what are your strats or what do you like to do?

safe to say we're all financially literate to some degree - if you have a brokerage account & allowed to invest, what are your strategies or buys?  buddies of mine are long certain stocks and ETFs. Personally, I have my brokerage set up to automatically to take funds from my checking account and buy X amount of VOO and QQQ every week. If i see apple or MSFT take a big hit one day i'll buy some shares. but thats it - i'm young with not many expenses so im dumping money mainly into VOO, QQQ and SMH but curious what others do. dont have the time to do supplemental research or options.
