31m. Just started investing last week and got some positions. I’ll probably add a couple more etf or stocks in this current down turn and add to the ones I have but Am I diverse enough as it is? I make roughly 2k/month working,( about half of that to expenses)my tax bracket is low rn so just trying to build capital to make it worth putting in an IRA. Thanks in advance don’t pull your punches. Not planning to do options either.

    Thanks for the response. My main goal is to get to a point of comfortable passive income. I do have about $1,000/month of disposable cuz my living expenses are cheap rn. My income stocks rn are the JEPQ and GLPI. Did some research on Concentra and I believe that stock will grow well in the health industry. Halliburton got cyber fucked and price dropped which is why I picked them up. We’re gonna be in war soon and they do great when there’s conflict lol also energy and oil. Looking into OXY as well. Good dividends and rated really well. All of these will be long term holds. A good portion of my investment will just be going to the money market funds to get safe passive compounding interest. I dont follow anyone but i read alot of articles browse Reddit (banned af so can’t participate). I’m not interested in meme stocks or options trading. Not risk adverse but I don’t wanna take gambles. I know I’m missing an index fund so that’s my next one. Seen all the hype on VOO SPY and the like but the buy in at 500 each rn isn’t feasible and the individuals I’ve chosen speak to consistent yield and long term success. Except for JEPQ but they been solid as long as they’ve been around but maybe what I’ve read is less informed

      I mean it seems like you have some ideas. So thats a start.

      I’m just gonna put it out there, that I don’t invest in things I don’t know about. So I have no opinions about any of the plays you just suggested.

      I have a very different strategy than probably everyone else here. I only hold a few positions, maybe as few as 1-2, plus cash, at times. Its definitely not for everyone and its definitely not the “game theory” most efficient.
