Does your 401 allow you to buy individual stocks?
i am late to the TLRY move but bought a small position today because of the 1D/3D/1W chartAlright… I’ll just say I expect these stocks to do nothing/lose money.
But on the last day of the year I took positions in most of the fallen angel weed and mushroom stocks, small cap to micro caps.
Literal garbage throwaways… with the exception of CGC the charts are just washed out.
They are nothing more than scratch off lottery tickets basically

Yeah, not sure what he has. I lost ton a while back, but have gained it all back plus to about $165K.That’s wild what are your larger positions
Another reason I’m a SPY maximalist.
Maybe have more funds in broad based market indexes...? Your losses must have come from individual stocks.Despite the Santa Claus rally over the last six weeks, my IRA is still down over $180,000 from its all-time high in January, 2022. However, I'm $32,000 over my comfort zone number and $6,000 over where I was this time last year... and that includes $53,500 worth of withdrawals in 2023, so I guess I can't complain.

LRCX is back on track these days. It seems like 2024 will be the first growth year for WFE (wafer fab equip) in a few years. We've been positioning the company for growth, so the next 2-3 years should be pretty solid.
FSELX is a great way to play the semiconductor market without being over exposed to a single stock, although it looks like NVDA is over weighted in the index. I suspect there will be boom/bust cycles in the A.I. space, but the overall direction is up-up-up.
BOIL is killing me. Probably time to double down, but hard to do so when there's so many other compelling stories in my portfolio.
I'm watching, but just letting mine roll right now. Seems they're worried about the Fed and rate cuts from what I've read so far.Any guesses as to when we'll see the current bottom of this latest bloodshed?
Where have you been? @Weather Man
