I’m not getting into all that shite

Was just thinking of getting some solid companies and holding for the next 10 to 15 years.

I gave up individual stocks a few years ago when I had about the same luck as you.
Funds are the way to go
You need to add VOO for sure and probably VUG

Jesus Christ, you're 43. Just buy fricking S&P ETFs and keep buying them regularly. Then in 20 years you can look at all the money you made on those purchases.

Ok. I just didn’t want to have only VGT in my after tax account. I have S&P versions in my 401k and EJ accounts but nothing in VUG.

I've had more success in crypto than stocks. Now stocks are like investing in BTC and letting it sit but options are like playing shite coins, I apparently suck at this but pretty good in crypto at flipping them.

Set rules, don’t buy too close to expiry, and move on. Are you doing intraday? Sell at 15%
Plan on holding, sell at first pop or 30-40%.

You need to stick to broad based index funds such as the S&P 500 or the Total Stock Market. You would be much better off had you done that from the beginning.
