I put 100 dollars into robin Hood like 9 months ago and today it's worth $115!

The #ack? Reinvest the quarterly dividends into penny stocks.

I just look for the biggest losing penny stock at that day and buy as much as I can  with my 1-2 dollar dividend

Alright friends, it’s me again.

I have been making tons of money with the stocks only go up plan, and am now going to stop trading my Roth IRA and want to make a mutual fund/etf portfolio.

Absolute minimum of S&P 500 index is 60%

The other 40% rules—
No bonds (for losers)
Want emerging markets exposure
Want international exposure

Not sure if I should have some sector exposure in single digit percentages (home builders, biotech, semi conductors etc) or do small cap or what or just keep it simple.

Also, let me be clear I made a Robin Hood account and bought in on June 8th my birthday and the recent market top and promptly lost 10% and have been doing super dumb crap constantly and managed to claw back to -4.8% by doing tons of other dumb crap, but occasionally buying OTM VXX calls and sweating them for a week until they go green.  I am here to admit I am a total dumbass.

If anyone (Steve Dave or sdbro or brokercat69) wants to see my IRL RobinHood “portfolio” and help me extract max value from it I will definitely take their (maybe sys too or some finance bro I don’t know about) advice on this matter, but I don’t want to lay that all out here without someone actually offering some help and I’m more concerned with the retirement account than the RH because it is like 20x the value.

I would go up to 80% but I think it would be bad to not have more than 10-15% international exposure.

I think this was discussed ITT but the S&P 500 IS international exposure, the companies are just registered in the US.

I mean, yes to a certain extent. Maybe I should just put some % in the Nasdaq and emerging markets.

What’s driving you to eff with your investments? I assume it’s FOMO on being Uber rich instead of just filthy rich.

I have been at home for months on end with no sports, very little to do and have tons of extra money that didn’t get spent on child care while there had been a raging bull market. There are like tens of millions of people doing this dumb crap, I am not unique in any way.

Kat Kid, just do what I do and kick your feet up as the fat stacks roll into your 401k/IRA's/HSA over time.

50% SP500/Total market fund
20% Bonds
15% International
10% Specific Funds (Currently a Health Care/Oil (LOL)/ Small cap)
5% Individual Stocks

401k money is invested automatically and every 2-3 months I'll glance at my portfolio and use money that has been going into my RothIRA/HSA to keep the allocation around the same.

Around Thanksgiving/Christmas I typically do a end of year "Report" where I actually add all the random funds/stocks up in all my accounts (401k/IRA/RothIRA/HSA) to make sure my allocations are in line with my plan and decide if I need to make any adjustments to where my new money is invested in the upcoming year.

Also I'm basically rich as crap because stocks only go up.
