So made some massive gains in Apple and Nvidia in the last month or so, 5 digit type gains, so I had to pull some of my gains out, I’ve been riding those ponies far too long without pulling some of my money out.
Looking at some ETF’s and dividend stocks to diversify a little more than I currently am, any recommendations?
Been looking at Medtronic and Verizon for dividends

Elon is making it rain even more. His net worth jumped up 60 billion US in the past week. Super rich get even more filthy rich.
-did some research into how many TSLA shares that Musk has in his company. He has over 715 million shares of TSLA.
He owns 22.3% of Tesla.
Did anyone buy TSLA recently or in the past before the U.S. election?
I bought some shares this week.

I got sick of Musk and his antics and sold it all about a month ago before it went to the moon, still gained some profits but missed this last wave. It's OK, I got to the point where I just could not stomach Musk ... even it meant gains in my portfolio. No regrets.

What bond funds do you suggest?

What bond funds do you suggest? | I hold VAB for my CAD (through VBAL) and I bought BND with my USD. I have a lot of USD in my RRSP b/c of very long holds of Apple and Amazon so I bought BND. I'm didn't do a tonne of research - I knew I needed to get out of equities and had already missed the peak so I moved quick and just went with Vanguards' top bond ETF.
I'd be eating a lot more shit this week if I hadn't swapped out back on the 12th.
I knew Trump was crazy but I didn't know he was THIS crazy.

It has been a wild couple of days for sure.
The most negative name in our portfolio right now (on a year to date return) is Broadcom which is -38% give or take, that's a pretty ugly number to see in isolation.
However, the even crazier part to me, is a person is still UP on Broadcom about 36% if they hade owned it since Jan 2024. They'd be up about 155% if they had owned it since Jan 2023.
Time heals a lot of wounds. Some people making short term bets and getting it wrong are going to be feeling some pain right now, but honestly we have more clients asking if it's time to put money in than clients asking whether to "take the loss" and sell, going to bonds/cash/gold/Bitcoin/whatever.
Especially when things move so dramatically in a short term, generally the knee jerk reaction is the wrong one and it's worth taking some time to digest and analyze.
-Mark

I'm no expert investor but I don't think you can go wrong for the long haul if you buy some in the next few months as the overall market is definitely making a downturn in almost every sector. I mean for heaven's sakes, don't buy gold now when it is the only thing on the rise.
