I'm seeing mixed news, some expect it to break out while others are suspicious that they announced a split right before earnings. I have a limit set at $550, gtc+after hours; wondering if it will execute assuming subpar earnings.
I didn’t add too much compared to what I already hold. I have held it so long it could go back to $550 and it wouldn’t really matter. NVDA is the future. I will poke my eyes out with hot pokers and eat my own head if it goes to $550. The implied move is +/- 5%

Started a small position in ASML. It’s the last of the chip equipment manufacturers I don’t have. Not sure I need it but it Zack’s bull of the day. Not that it matters.
Added more CVS on this mornings "Amazon Fear" dip, now approx a 1/2 position size.
Also watching how WSM reacts to their earnings after the market today. If it sells off on strong earnings, like so many others have, I'm in. Great company with strong brands, an excellent e-commerce plan, rock solid balance sheet, strong dividend growth and a star CEO in the making. I've long wondered why Berkshire doesn't buy this company and add it to their home goods lineup. It would fit right in with other Berkshire home/personal brands like Jordans Furniture, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Benjamin Moore, Pampered Chef, Borshiems, Helzberg etc.
Started a new 1/3 sized position in WSM this morning on the expected post earning dip, even though they totally crushed earnings. It amazes me that this would sell off, as they pulled about as perfect a quarterly earnings report as possible - tremendous revenue and earnings growth and huge sales increases across all brands and strongly increased guidance for the rest of 2021. I mean, it just doesn't get better than what they reported.
Will continue to add under $175, and hope to average down if possible.
Now long AAPL, BAC, BRK-B, DPZ, HD and V, with smaller positions in CVS and WSM.
No change in my 401K -- 100% Large Cap. Up 12% YTD, beating my non-401K account which grew just 6% YTD, no thanks to my ARKK which btw, I have started selling the past week to now. Booking the paper losses!!
I read the post title, and I'm not buying or selling anything today, a Saturday.
I have a mixture of ETFs, mutual funds, bond funds, alternatives. There are different funds in different accounts (roth, IRA, taxable), depending on the time horizon for spending in each account, ranging from spending within a year and up to 20+ years out. I've got a variety including large cap, medium cap, small cap, sector, total market and S&P, U.S. & International coverage. On the bond side I have short term, medium term, and a little long term, U.S. and International. I also have shares of AAPL.
I consider it to be gambling to invest long-term in any individual stock.
There is literally no way of knowing what it will do long term.
Well, there is no way of knowing what it will do short term either, so what should we do?? I get what you're saying, there are individual company risks to consider, but if not long term, and not short term, what else is there? Are not mutual funds and ETF's invested in many individual stocks long term? If so, doesn't that make them riskier, considering their exposure to individual stock risk for many stocks??

Individual stocks have not only market risk but individual company risk too ..
Diversified Etfs and funds only have market risk so I too prefer them for my long term investing …I don’t have to worry about one missed earnings report and a year or more in gains gets erased .

There's also no way of knowing for sure what the market will do in the long term either. The market can give negative real returns over a decade, or double-digit real returns.
It's really a matter of risk IMO. Putting all of one's money in a single stock is a risky of course. Putting one's money in 20-30 stocks is not. Most individual company risk is gone at that amount of diversification.
