    what’s the ETF? Is it an S&P 500 ETF or a specific index? If it’s pretty vanilla I’d say no such thing as too much. If it’s some triple leveraged oil etf then yeah maybe watch your exposure.

    need to look at your overall allocation % and not shares. for example 30% in us large cap, 10% foreign, etc and determine what matches your risk profile

    Put 1000 into VTI and qqq. I own vfiax and vdadx as well. This was my first purchase so I was just dipping my toes in.

    If you didn't know, VFAIX is basically a part of VTI (83% of it), so it's basically double dipping.

    There will be some overlapping which is fine. You’re 100% US based and mostly large cap on these investments. I didn’t look deep into the large, mid and small cap weighting’s on these funds. Generally I’d say you’re fine to continue to invest money into these funds. VTI seems to be an option to give you broader investments so maybe go a bit heavier on that and less so on QQQ. Some will say to gain exposure to international stocks which have preformed terribly compared to US stocks (this could be an indication that international stocks have room to run). Long story short, if you’re planning on letting this grow for 10, 20, 30+ years your investments here should be good. That is unless there is a collapse of epic proportions to the worldwide economy and all of our stocks and cash become worthless.

    There's so much damn overlap between all of my ETFs. Or I'll see some stocks mentioned in here or in the news that are flying high, wishing they were in my portfolio. Then I realize that they're in three of my ETFs.

    If you happen to use TD Ameritrade, go to Research & Ideas > Mutual Funds > X-ray > Stock Intersection. It's a Morningstar tool, which I believe you can access for free directly from Morningstar: https://www.morningstar.com/instant-x-ray

    It's a great tool that does exactly what you're asking.

    Morningstar. I looked briefly on Fidelity and didn't see something similar. Also tried Personal Capital but it just gets to sectors and value/core/growth for each level.

    I remember when Citron published their GSX report when GSX was trading around $30. Needless to say, it squeezed up to like $130 in a few months. I would never use Citron as a short position indicator. That said...I would agree with them that GME is a failed mall retailer lol.

    Yeah gonna need one of those "we crushed earnings so time to dip 10%" deals here.

    Actually dipping lower bit by bit now...if they open around $60 I might be able to get out with a small profit. Big call cluster at $60 expiring tomorrow.

    Im in at 85 shares of 38.14, if I make a few thousand off it great, worst case I lose $1500 I think.

    The crazy thing is that the $20/share that Citron is pushing has their valuation at less than what their current online sales are.
