The last time I talked to him he was closing out his positions worth about $250k.

Yikes! Point taken. You seem to have some pretty good chops when it comes to trading. I might ask your informal advice along the way.

“Yikes! Point taken. You seem to have some pretty good chops when it comes to trading. I might ask your informal advice along the way.«

Years ago I decided to stop trading. Decided to go long term with solid stocks that also paid dividends with som diversification.

Over the years I have posted some of my holdings.

ETN, JPM, CVX, some regional banks, railroads, some pharmaceuticals, some REITS, some tech.

I should have bought some APPLE back about 2008 when a coworker was showing new iPhone off but I failed to see how the original “gimmicks” would take over. After all, my HP pocket computer with WIFI could do much more. My wife did pick up a few shares earlier in her ROTH IRA.

I built a PC back in 2014. Loved NVIDIA GPUs. Failed to see how the crypto mining would drive the price up even seeing shortages in the market. Same with AI. I saw it but didn’t act. Just enjoying retirement too much to care.
