Stock Market 2023

my 401k is still well below covid, especially when you factor in the contributions, company match and profit sharing...still below the peak...

Hey Roy, what are you seeing going forward? Are you well off yet? You been playing the stocks for a while now.

I've been buying big tech stocks, mostly. A few banks. An oil company. Chemicals, etc.

Big tech is leading this rally, so I hop on board.

Biggest holding is Amazon. Cost basis $103.84, now at $133.10 (+28.25%). But the thing is, in mid 2021 it was at $186. In order to get back to that level, it would need to rally another 40%. That's what I look for..

Diversification can hinder your performance. Oil has struggled. Bonds. U.S. small caps under performing. Foreign stocks lagging (except Japan, though cooling off a bit). This rally really doesn't have much market breath. A few sectors leading the charge. Big tech far and away the biggest movers, and most of them still haven't fully recovered. Tech got slaughtered (prospect of higher interest rates due to inflation). Now they're bouncing back up from the bottom.

I've been getting into REITs as they haven't joined the rally. WPC, VICI and O. HTGC (a BDC) has been on a bender. Luckily a bought the recent low. Unluckily, small position.

I'm glad I'm out. Stock market never made sense to me like you were talking about. Only thing for sure was if the Fed talked, it went down.

TSLA up 7.7% percent today. monday just had my last batch of shares called away from a covered call option. Made some nice options profits when it was trading under 200. Greedy strike prices will getcha

SWVXX pays 5.2% annualized in the middle of the month and very little risk for those in protection mode.
 Just had a 3 month treasury turn over automagically with my broker.
