We started discussing this in another thread so I decided to start a new thread. Would love to know what sectors and stocks people are in, with successes and if you want to share, bad trades or holds. My brief story below:

Traded a lot from 99-01 but volatility of Dot Com Market collapse forced me out with a decent profit. Fast forward19 years, I dove back in at the bottom in March. Had some success trading Comcast the first week, got caught in a bad trade with Citrix. Had an initial wishlist of NFLX, DOCU, Roku and Comcast. Didn’t pull the trigger quickly enough and watched most run away. Roku and Gartner I’ve been in and out of but just can’t seem to win on them. Two big winners have been DocuSign and Five Nine Inc (FIVN). I’m out now except for a small position in DocuSign, as I expect tech stocks to sell off soon and want to be ready to buy on dip.

Stocks Im looking at adding:
MSFT
AMZN
FB
ROKU
TWLO
FIVN
BX (Blackstone)
Tesla
OKTA
PENN
Walmart
CCL (Carnival)
IT (Gartner)
Kayne Anderson, mis stream energy infrastructure fund.

Selling at around $12 per share.

For old farts like me, income producing investments are comforting to own.

KYN pays around 8.25% or so dividend.

I use ET for that function.

I simplified my investments a bit. So Turbo Tax can easily handle everything.

Some years back I held both ET and Kinder Morgan.

But those partnerships spat out K1 forms at tax time. Always had to file an extension. Taxes were a bit of a PITA.

Kayne Anderson returns nearly what the mid-stream partnerships did. But the K1 income is rinsed through the Fund, and it spits out ordinary dividend income, not partnership distribution.

(I believe that both ET and Kinder Morgan are among the Funds top holdings. Recently I extended a bit, bought SEAL-PA. "Mid-stream, as they are LNG carriers. Selling around $25.50, and pays around 8.8%.)

I'm with you. I stopped with all the partnerships. Had an oil field one for a long time that both yielded over 10% and increased share price dramatically. But the taxes were a pain.

To clarify, I have ET as part of an IRA. Right now there's no issues, as I'm not pulling money out of the IRA yet. All the distribution are reinvested. I have a few years until I have to deal with withdrawals.

I'm not an old fart (yet) but I do mis stream on occasion.

Unless you have inside info, start up biotechs are a crap shoot, do your homework and take profits whenever they are there. Buying biotechs on a promise is almost as risky as trading options.
I have one down like 88% since I bought it. Worthless but why even sell? Maybe they have something that hits.

If you buy the one they named the technology after, maybe you’ll have better luck.

It’s definitely possible, 24 years ago during the biotech boom I bought 1000 shares of a promising biotech stock at $14 and 3 days later sold it at $133. Back in those days the volatility was crazy, stocks going up or down $100/sh in one day.
