Most blue chip stocks have been around for eons ,have survived the hi and low and even pay a dividend,there may be some hiccups on the way,eg Boeing,unlike those recent ones created by merging with SPAC with no revenue and profit.
NARK is the cannabis ETF [/sarcasm]

maybe we should all invest in NARK,we will need some cannabis if the markets keep dropping,some said we are not done ditching stocks.
The rate hike will span 3 years 2022-2024,should we be dumping gradually?

With BBB dead for now and omicron raging, I’d be very surprised if ARKK doesn’t continue its recent upward trend again this coming week. Both of the aforementioned factors should greatly reduce inflation concerns in the near term, at a minimum.

Red to green move wouldn’t surprise me today. ZM and TDOC look strong as expected and 10 year yield down.

You have a different time horizon than most here. It probably shouldn’t ever be in your portfolio (even as a “day trade”) if you’re retired.

I don’t mind trading it since the dollars committed to a core position are many times what arkk would see .

I still have money My wife and I wont need to eat with for decades so even if I get stuck in arkk for the longer term it is no problem holding it . I just prefer not to.

Being retired does not mean you don’t have money that is still long term money and may never be needed or needed decades from now.

With a well planned retirement you have money for now , money for the intermediate term and money for the longer term or maybe never needed …..so it does not mean you have to avoid investments that may take longer to pan out or are more volatile.

That is a personal choice rather then a financial one .

100% equities with no cash and no bonds for short term spending has almost the same success rate as a 50/50 despite the spending down in good and bad years from equities. In fact it has a better success rate going out longer than 30 years

The higher gains in up markets cushion the down markets , so it is a personal choice as to how to allocate

If you’re looking for entertainment and volatility, why not trade bitcoin instead?

I do …but I use gbtc for convenience …..gold too through Gld and commodities through dbc .

I am holding decent size positions in all three since they are core positions although I cant resist trading their volatility when I can.

Those are my inflation hedges. Each hold about 5-6% of investable money so about 15% to 18% is in those three with another 10% in a strategic real return fund .

The other 75% is in a conventional conservative portfolio and cash.

Been retired 6-1/2 years
