@SherlockInvests Over 100. I fear I would lose interest with fewer than that.

People tell me to “just buy an ETF.” Others say to concentrate into your highest conviction stocks. Meanwhile, I’ve built my own “Sherlock ETF” with 50+ holdings and the majority paying dividends. Genius or complete insanity? How many stocks do you own?

I know $BAC is not trendy or a “growth-machine” but it was my first large position so I’ve held it along time and added to it over the years. It reached 90% gains today!

I closed a couple positions , that shoes a little promise but moved too slow for me. $NPCE $NTLA

@kaceOak @genejchan My top 5 change a bit but they are 10% dividend for income and are a bit slow moving. $MSFT and $TSLA are fairly big.

@FantasyInvRealm @genejchan What's your top 5? T is my biggest

$TSLA is a cocked gun full of catalysts ready to unload: - Cybercab launch - Robotaxi ramp in multiple states - FSD approval in more EU countries - Roadster reveal - Optimus 3 reveal - Model YL in US - Consumer unsupervised FSD

@MiniRetireMatt Phenomenal itinerary!

An attorney friend of mine is considering a mini-retirement. He recently asked me: "Where have you been in Europe on your mini-retirements? And then: "Where would you recommend I take my first one?" Here are my answers: (a thread - click here & scroll) ↓

@LazaroInvestor The acceleration is so crazy. Nothing like it in my lifetime!

Wow 🤯 $SPCX $MSFT

I've been a little quiet the last 3 market day because there is so much happening at once! It is awesome, to be sure, but my prudent side says don't celebrate too hard yet. Up $30k in three days is still thrilling. 📈

@genejchan I kn you’re right but it still has some metrics that keep me cautious.

Adding some $SATS here The discount to $SPCX now is closer to 50%

@MiniRetireMatt @BoomerDivvies No offense taken. My response was a little bit over the top to try and attempt humor.

@FantasyInvRealm @BoomerDivvies No offense intended brother. Just an inside joke for the pro-corolla crowd on X.

@MiniRetireMatt @BoomerDivvies Easy Tiger! My wife had one in the "lean" years. 😰

@BoomerDivvies LOL! F Corollas!

@KennethLFisher, to me, is the calm voice in the storm of conflicting news and frenzy. Watch a couple of his videos and I think you will agree.

@Mr_Derivatives Welcome to $SNDK

@Mr_Derivatives Yes I am but I trimmed a little.

I love $MU, but this stock chart scares me. Have we ever seen such a sustainable vertical like this ever in the history of the stock market?!

My Portfolio Metrics (share your thoughts please): Portfolio Health Notes: Growth Tilt: Strong AI/tech exposure ($NVDA, $AVGO, $TSM, $ANET, $VRT, $CRDO, $PLTR, etc.) + rotations into infra/power ($VST, $HUBB, $MYRG, $PWR, $LMB). Income Balance: BDCs, covered calls, dividends help Diversification: ~100+ positions, top holdings concentrated but tail provides breadth. Cash buffer solid. Risks: Volatility in small specs/quantum; semis trimmed earlier – good discipline. Watch concentration in mega-caps.

My Portfolio Metrics (share your thoughts please): Top Gainers (Today / Recent Momentum) $ALAB: Massive unrealized +190% (strong AI/semiconductor play) $CRDO: +140% $DELL: +220% $ANET, $TSLA, $ARM, $MU, $VRT, $PWR, $MYRG showing solid moves

My Portfolio Metrics (share your thoughts please): High-conviction names like $NVDA (~3.3% of acct), $TSLA, $PLTR, $JEPQ, $ARCC, $BXSL remain core. Recent performers: Strong gains in $ALAB, $CRDO, $DELL, $ANET, $TSLA, etc. Some volatility in space/quantum/AI infra plays ($ASTS, $RKLB, $IONQ, etc.). SOME? 🤣🤣🤣

@BoomerDivvies That’s almost as hard a selling NVDA (which I haven’t done). Work in progress. 😬

Weekend challenge: Buy something that brings you joy. It can be anything. A fancy doughnut, tickets to a movie, an expensive meal, a pair of shoes you need, a beer at a bar while watching the playoffs. Not every purchase needs to compound at 10% annually.

Is it astounded that so many of you are posting so many details from your accounts! I would think they would be closely held secrets. Fairly new on this platform!!
