ETFs like above comment mentioned that follow broad indexes, have less in individual blue chip stocks but holding all long term.

Waiting until I have a few k+ then investing that into one position, I don't think a $1-500 a week investment will be significant maybe do $2k+ a month into a position and build that way then see meaningful swings and returns. 1% of $500 which could be a big swing in one day either way is $5.

 

I have about $20K in CONY, the daily cash option Bitcoin ETF. I bought it for the DVD. It pays out about $1200-$1500 a month, which I turn around and buy QQQM, VOO, and, just recently, AMD. I have some JEPI and JEPQ as well. Just off-loaded SMH ETF as some of the Nvidia companies are in correction territory, but made a solid 46% return in 14 months on that one. I'm looking to maybe buy the dip on it again. 

I'm curious about what non-ETF people are buying. 

Also, has anyone ever followed the Motley fool guidance, buy $10K worth of 10 stocks when we suggest and hold for 10 years? I've thought about trying it in my Roth, as I can't touch it for 30 more years and can't contribute to it anymore. 

Been aggressive in my Roth since I have RSU's at my current company and a 401K, took over my Roth as a trading platform last year in Feb and went from 78k to 105k so trying to start rolling that money up. 

 

My stock portfolio is 50% VOO 50% QQQ and I am buying bitcoin, solana, and meme coins with extra cash.
