I think I like the portfolio breakdown I have been using – allocating money towards the total market, bonds, and REITs to secure some stable gains, while still allowing myself to have fun and buy individual stocks based on my research. I enjoy doing it and I am still young so I don't see a problem for now. Really looking forward to hearing what you guys think.
Disclaimer – I know the stocks section is a bit messy right now, but hey so has the market. Within the next few weeks I plan on rotating out of the NFLX play and deploying the unallocated cash into 1-2 more companies to continue DCA into.
