Anyone else nervous about this rally?

I am thinking about taking some profits and stepping back.

It looks like investors are unphased by corporate debt, pension liability issues and a bloated federal reserve.
Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook are going to drag the market across the goal line.
I think there will be a rebalancing away from mutual and index funds into straight stock plays. Consumer staples and tech leading the charge.

That’s where my portfolio is. I have a very large investment in Amazon specifically, and then I have investments around it through consumer staple and technology ETFs.
I am net up on the year in my 401(k) and my brokerage account. But the way this market is climbing makes me nervous.

Interesting take that makes a lot of sense imo

I am just going with stocks I know what my exit price will be and I know they’ll rebound sooner or later

"Consumer staples and tech leading the charge." This right here.
There is much less uncertainty now than a month ago. This is one of the first Fridays in a while that doesn't appear to have a sell off to end the week. Having said that, we could still end up in the red by close.
Will the dow break 25k next week or the week after?

Same. A have a signifiant very long term cubes position and have been analyzing the pros and cons of trimming the fat and just going with the individual top players. Very interesting risk discussion on the benefit of the ETF vs. the detriment of the bottom 50% of the holdings dragging down the play.

Most people blindly index, and rightfully so. As most employees don't have access to individual stock trading anyways.
Going to require a paradigm shift to move away from passive indexing to active management.

You don't trust the "Fed put" or are you worried about the strike price?

My lights are still on.

Good deal. You still have time to buy something from GNRC. You will be glad ya did 
Posted on 5/8/20 at 1:13 pm to mule74
The Dow will test 25,000 by next Friday
Posted on 5/8/20 at 1:16 pm to mule74
IMO, the only thing that can truly break this rally would be another full shutdown.

Nothing wrong with taking a few profits. I've taken 46% of profits in my trading acct. ytd so far. After all....the money isn't yours until it hits the bank and FOMO should never be a part of your educated decisions.

not really seeing much of a rally - we are about where we were a month ago - what am i missing?
Posted on 5/8/20 at 7:39 pm to mule74
Not sure where you see a rally
Posted on 5/8/20 at 7:45 pm to mule74
I am. Shorting one stock and have stop losses set for the ones I am up on and two where I wouldn’t lose much.

a couple of things
the top performers have always led the market up. always.
the indexes that have done so well in the past are the same indexes that will do well in the future. As far as sector mutual funds, managers will trade out of dogs and into thoroughbreds in the years to come, just like they’ve always done.
passive investing is still the best way to ensure regular returns for the vast majority of people. That’s not changing no matter what.

Monday HAS to be a red day. Airlines went up a bunch today, so these may be good shorts.
