My IRAs are safe plays, I am young and looking to grow it but I am not going to lose my butt if a bubble pops.
This stonks craze has been nuts though. I have another account that is just a couple years rewards from my CC and the first Trump check. Started playing with that in risky stocks to the tune of 2,025% cumulative gain most of that coming in the past 3 months. It's been life changing and I know I am fortunate but man I put a lot of work into researching opportunities. Pretty much just tried to get out in front of these buzzy retail/robinhood plays, ride the wave, and cash out when I started getting nervous. 10x'd NIO, SOLO, and 20x'd ABML. Proudly paper handed GME. 2 - 5x'd a bunch of other pennies and SPACs. Most of it today is cash on the sidelines I feel that whole scene is really overheated. Thinking about getting into options just not sure I have the time to manage much more.
