I’m a VTI & chill person since I started stowing money away late college so I’m doing as bad as the market. Not  worried at all right now now as I’ve been waiting for a pullback to buy more and I’m 25. 


That said,  I have 10-15% cash I was going to lump sum into VTI but will portion some of it 2+ year LEAPs on QQQ. I’m gonna auto invest my VTI monthly as usual tho

I like to watch the CoT report that comes out every Friday — small traders are net long and large traders are net short, if there’s a large divergence that starts to form during this backdrop I’m going ballz deep.

I'm up, I've been shorting Best Buy and car companies like crazy. Put some stocks in Kroger and Ross to stabilize the portfolio a little, but I think I may need to exit of those positions too coming Q2
