Nice! At age 81, I no longer buy individual stocks.
It is only and strictly index funds. A 20% correction happens every 4 years on average. That is my trigger to start getting in again. Then wait as long as 4 years, and when 30% profit shows up overall, I begin bailing out. Been doing this since 2005 and never had a tax loss on my tax returns.

I know there are more profitable methods, but this is easy on my nerves.

So you missed out on all the big stock market moves?
