So since the stock market continues to climb, this isn't surprising....

actually, your portfolio beta is slightly less than 1, which is ok. but you still stand to lose quite a bit if the market flips on you.

Sell Sell! Take the money and run while you're ahead!

everything you own is in tech.

depending on how long this goes for, you should invest in retail. retail stocks always go up between nov-january. then fall end jan to march.

even if its not retail, you need to invest in other industries. if techs drop ur whole portfolio will too, you need something to counter the fall.


my fave stock right now is ALSK. sweet dividends and a great company.

I think this may be a decent position. Move it to a money market account and get 4-5% return for the time being. No matter who wins the election tomorrow, I think stocks will take a slide down in the next 3 weeks. Then buy back in when prices are lower.

My boss's second favorite stock right there. Government supported monopoly with massive dividends for the win. But, at $14.61, you are buying it at a premium. It isn't nearly the deal it was back at $10 earlier this year.

I did the same thing 5 years ago, I ended up 1000% up at the end. Makes me wish I had the money to invest back then I would be working now.

A couple of friends and I (NERDS! I know) kind of started a stock-market competition within our school. This was mid 90s - made a literal killing on tech stocks. Sh!t, at that time (before the bubble burst) you could've had a monkey pick out stocks within that industry and probably come out ahead.
