I'm mostly a buy and hold guy in the big picture because I want to understand the stocks and how they move. But recently I've been chasing momentum. I look at the stocks in my portfolio that are down each day, and if one of them has been positive over the last X months, I'll buy a smidge more of it. Maybe a 1 percent add. I do that every couple of days since I've been sitting on some cash for a while.
I'll say too that having the "reinvest dividends" button on has worked well this past year. The computer bravely invested my cash payouts during the months when I was afraid to do so.

Even so much as total frauds (NKLA) getting run.
But NKLA is out so maybe we've learned.
I wouldn't own it, but it wouldn't surprise me if even NKLA get's back on track. They're bringing in experienced leadership (so I've read), that knows how to damage control what they've gone through. [Reply]

It's hard to imagine that the bubble won't burst someday, but whether that's tomorrow or 10 years from now, who knows?
TSLA is headed back to 2400. Elon will announce a 5 for 1 stock split and he'll be worth 1.5 trillion [Reply]
There was a guy interviewed on CNBC this morning ,I didn't catch his name but he's a billionaire. He said the government should give every person when they're born $2000 and it's put into an index fund and can't be touched until 65 and then the government could do away with Social security.
So I put that into a calculator at 10% and you would have 1,294,931 at age 65. Or $5395/month for 20 years if you don't count continued interest after 65.
At 12% it gives you $4,695,713. Which is $19,565/month
Just think how much that would save the government. One time payment of 2K versus 20 years of 2K a month. [Reply]
Today was a good day. TAN is up 50% since I bought it in November. JETS is slowly climbing. I’m flying for the first time in a year, next month. I got in on NIO last week and it’s still climbing. And my good ole AMD keeps chugging along. I think it’s up
75% since I bought it couple years ago. I remember when I first started playing with Robinhood, AMD was my first stock I ever bought, this was close to 5 years ago maybe, and it was under $5/share I think. Got in and out several times since. [Reply]

You're compounding that monthly, which is bumping those figures up quite a bit compared to compounding annually.
I also don't think you're considering inflation. Just 2% inflation on a gross return of 10% brings the pot down to $297,560 after 65 years.
How long are we on NIO? Is this something we think is worth holding for years? I have $2500 in it, should I sell off some blue chip and add more? [Reply]

Ask "Stock Moe"
Edit: Was just thinking "NIO Day" is coming up , I Think Monday. Lots of people are saying it will pop. But when Tesla had its "Battery Day" there was a big sell off and a dip (when everybody said it would pop). I'd look for that Nio dip if I was going to add. JMO
Edit again: I'm a little confused. It looks like NIO released their new info this morning. Looks good. May get the pop Monday. Or Not.
