I try to rebalance quarterly unless I just have a gut feeling that a certain sector is about to run or has more room to go. In my tax deferred accounts that is. Like you said, hard to do in my taxable accounts due to taxes. I've gotten to heavy in SLI but I think they're about to make a nice jump when FID announced.

This kinda makes me irrationally angry. I don’t have the sack to pick like that.
Prior to this thread I was just happy telling my wife the kid’s worth more than her on paper. Now I’m wondering if I should play options on Yieldmax ETFs to catch up.

Obviously with a decent amount of money at play, you rang the bell.
Love to see it!

You should have went big on KLAR when I gave you the trade
Pick well on the next dip and you’ll be pleased (NBIS, OUST).

I’m up bigly but it all reminds me of post Covid…
Everyone is a genius with their picks and “conviction” until the band stops playing. Hopefully the music goes on much longer but it’s the same hype cycle and irrational exuberance tale as old as time. Long term, markets will chug up but there’s always inevitable pain and reset.

When the music stops, I’ll take my lumps, but I’ll be in premier names with a low enough cost basis to weather the storm.
No margin, limited options.

Yes, but it still feels like mid to late 2020 and not late 2021 early 2022 yet. I started taking profit and accumulating cash then when every oil field hand and plant operator I knew was trading crypto, stock options etc. It was "free money!!!". I think we get a nice correction pretty soon, but I don't see Trump letting it go to shite until after mid-terms. I also think the last half of his term will be epic, but I just can't see how we don't have some nice pull backs in between. He seems to be masterful at creating mild to moderate dips to blow off some steam and then letting it run again.
I just wish I knew when and how much!!!

I really think options gambling is a fool’s errand. They have a role as income generating tools but only after you have an established position at a comfortable cost basis
as some of these inflated index funds start to split, it will make selling calls on those long term investments even more attractive

I mostly use options to do CC's and cash covered puts to either sell my shares at higher price or buy shares of a company that I really want to add to at a lower price. I have done well keeping the premium for the most part. I ended up selling 3/4 of my NBIS shares at a lower price when the stock took up but my cost basis was much lower than where it sold. I am planning on trying to load up on OUST this week on cash covered puts and if it drops I will buy and if it doesn't I will do the same next week with the premiums.

Went big on Hmbl and workhorse, and reset the wife to zero.

YTD up 16.95% overall but I also sold most of my oil and gas stocks in April when they were up 40%. Going to buy back in after Iran capitulates and they drop.
For single stocks, I’m up 51% on SLB, 68% on F, 69% on AUR YTD. Up 95% on RVI since the IPO in March.

All these comments and returns sound like before the .com bubble burst.

we aren’t near that level of hysteria yet. It’ll eventually happen, of course. That’s not really helpful
that’s like saying the sun will rise tomorrow

I'm too lazy to try to figure it out because I have 7 different accounts. I might want to consolidate those at some point
Beating the market in most of them, but not like some of you. I'm mostly in ETFs these days, and don't own too many individual stocks anymore.
My 2 largest accounts are +25% YTD and +15%.

Trading account: 138%
Self managed IRA: 32.5%
401k: can’t find the % excl contributions. Probably around market average

I really don’t have many options in my 401k so it stays in a S&P type fund mostly with a little company stock and international. Company stock is dragging that account down into the 3% range. Same with my brokerage my company stock is keeping that one down also.
My EJ guy has me in about 100k to $110k cash so that’s been out of the market for a while. That’s my dry powder for when there’s a good dip.
I don’t have the nuts to move big chucks into single stocks. Retirement calculator says I will be more than fine with 8% returns over the next 15 years
