Message: [QUOTE="XLCenterFan, post: 4154217, member: 8712"] This as well. Couldn't agree more. I made my New Year's investing plans early this year and put them into motion around Thanksgiving. I had fun riding the pandemic market wave, but I need more stability. At one point I was up 142% and the wave came crashing down, leaving me up 23%. It was fun while it lasted though! And don't get me wrong, I will still be taking a few shots in the market, bit I'm going to be much safer this year with more dividend stocks and ETF's. My first 2 ETF plays have been JO (coffee) and GLTR (precious metals basket). JO is up 7% for me so far and GLTR is down 1%. I'm holding PayPal (down 9%)...it will bounce back some. Started buying discount retailers Dollar Tree (up 36%), Dollar General (up 4%), and TJX (up 7%). Also started buying AMKBY - they own the most shipping containers in the world. Up 5% And who can forget DPLS!? Holding! Up 32% [/QUOTE]
