After reading the title and assuming OP is short, glad I bought my 15% out of the money call options for earnings. LETS GO

Not sure what kind of money you are netting, but the idiot below saying to give a kid coming out of school money to invest is utterly regarded. Of the sum you plan on investing, 90% should go into a broad market ETF with dividends set to reinvest. The other 10% I’d recommend using 5-7% and diversifying into stocks you have interest in. The last 3% you can use sparingly to fulfill your gambling addiction on options but once it’s gone it’s gone. Don’t pull from your ETF or passion stocks because you think you have a hot ticket. Best of luck, don’t waste your windfall on gambling. One last caveat, make sure to max your tax advantaged accounts before taxable.

There's a million kids coming out of school looking for people to give them money to invest. Give one of them that works for a reputable brand and isn't going to kill you on fees and commission 1/4 and let them work for you. Tell them to focus on avoiding as much tax as possible, focus on long term retirement options, IRA and such. I'm sure they'll find more. Search for high dividend stocks, and try to blend across different industries, and risk tolerances. High yield but low cap vs high cap low yield just to smooth it out. Some will be small but steady, others will pop and fade. That's part of the strategy. Throw another 1/4 at that. Let the dividends reinvest. Take another 1/4, stick it in a HYSA, something >4.5% that's accessible, something you can move money out of into a checking account quickly for expenses. Then that last 1/4, I'd slowly start to spread across SPY, QQQ, DIA, ARKK, XSD, FNGS, XSB, IWM, XBI, GLD, XLF... But not all at once. We're at ATH on most, wait for some 5-7% pullbacks, some support to form, and upside signal. Then increase your holdings. XBI just had a nice little pullback, bounced, higher low... I'd start a little heavier in there, watch ARKK, don't love the current look to go big long, but I'm watching to see how May finishes up, that may give you a bit more confidence.

America wasn’t built on shoulda coulda woulda! The man set his heights higher than an index! It just didn’t pan out! But you should have definitely just Vanguard 500’d that shit.

maybe this is a sign that I should get the hell out of here

the pills are great. i dont need them but now i have to take at least 1/2 of one becuase I feel like I am missing out

Given track record I wouldn’t be suprised if they exceed but expectations are pretty high. Was tempted to go in on puts but honestly options seem pretty risky. Gonna sit this one out and hope for a pull back so I can load up

I’ll go out on a limb: LOSE.

You just freaked me out because I didn’t realize October 2015, which is also when I opened my RH account, was a full 10 years ago.  I’m up $30k over that same time period but as recently as a year ago I was down $100k overall.  We both should’ve just bought $BRK.B and chilled.
