Riding the waves. Expecting a pullback at some point. Not smart enough to time market.
Time in the market is my jam.

I’ve been small caps and vtsax to tilt more on the small side.
Current 100% vtsax but will slowly buy small cap etfs again as they’ve underperformed lately (iirc).
Overall not changing.

Max 401k
Max Roth
Max HSA
Throw a bunch in my kid’s 529
Anything left over, stick it in a brokerage account.
All broad market index funds / ETFs of varying flavors. I’m just too lazy and not smart enough to do it any other way.

I cashed everything out and spread all $12,000 all over my bed. The wife was not amused.

Setting stop less orders. 190 for Apple, 330 for Cigna. Selling calls for 20% of about a third of my stocks

Bought a few more TSLA shares yesterday up 6% today. Hopefully it runs up to $200+ soon.

Pretty tight stops. I’m assuming these are swing trades and not investment positions?

Dow is back below 40k. Resume whatever activity you arbitrarily stopped a couple days ago.

No....Trump will win. Stock Market hasn't factored that in yet. When it does, expect a YUGE rally. Full speed ahead.

I just keep buying CTAS. It’s done pretty good over the last few years and just announced a 4 to 1 spilt.

Thoughts...
Not really, but for most it really depends on your stage of your career in terms of investment vehicles, amounts etc. People closer to retirement age tend to avoid significant positions in the market out of fear of a correction and not being able to recover if it happens. They'll diversify into things like variable rate annuities, rebalancing their portfolios to more fixed rate investments vs. stocks etc.
I've tried to mitigate risk of a market correction by:
Avoiding the market through acquiring rental property. You have to have a "landlord's mindset" to do this though.
Moved some of our IRA money into variable annuities which provide a death benefit and guaranteed minimum income options. The payout (which we haven't collected on yet) is indexed.
Always investing something on a set frequency (i.e. monthly). Dollar cost average (your contributions say monthly, reinvesting dividends/capital gains etc.). This includes payroll deductions:
Contributing to 401k monthly (if you have it) to at least the employer match (in our case 6% employer match).
Contribution to keeping a cash reserve at around 6 months expenses.
If extra money is available to invest, primarily at this point the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ) fund (Yields around 8.79%).

I have a habit of trying to earn premium with about 20% of my biggest holdings. 80% I never touch, unless I’m permanently liquidating or starting a position. 20% is used to take profit, earn premium, buy back in after a downturn, etc. I wish I could claim to have a strict system to share but I think the key to the success I have had is more due to the fact that I have chosen good quality stocks rather than my method of investing
