I don't know what % it is. My dad retired 15 years ago and is 80 now. My mom is 76.
She said there was 5 or 6 different funds, but I don't know how evenly they are distributed. I'm not sure if this is a 401k or what. My dad has advanced dementia and my mom is handling everything now. She doesn't really know anything about this kind of stuff.

The investment style of that fund (value) was out of favor for many years. Many experts think the tide has turned from growth back to value. I agree and am shifting my 401K holdings in that direction. But I don't know if that particular fund is a good choice or not. I like some of Vanguards value funds but my plan doesn't give that option.

Currently sitting on 4 positions. Everything else closed out. All said and done after months of trading and I am at a profit of 5%. But I made many many many mistakes, and recently I have become much better at making both winning trades as well as mitigating losses with good entry, and good stop loss location.
50% cash right now.
Long position for hodling in NNDM.
Intermediate hodl position in indi
And a trade position in both TLRY and NEPT
Bought NEPT today with a very tight stop loss at very minimal loss
TLRY is looking extremely bullish.
Starter position at 16.25 and stop loss at 15.35
The weekly chart on tlry is bouncing off the 50ma then bouncing higher off the 100 ma. The next ma to break and flip will be the 21 ma. This so the same ma that signaled the previous resistance all the way down on the weekly chart leading up to it's break where tlry went to 60 or whatever
Today we had an extremely strong bullish push that I believe triggered a lot of sell orders and ate up a lot of resistance.
The current price location is at a bottom and a pivot point. This is a great entry location and given everything going on atm, assuming the market doesn't crash completely, we could see tlry finally break out and make a very strong run.

You are correct in that I saw quite a bit of consolidation going back to last week. It seems that after a sideways path there could be some upward movement. Am unfortunately out on AMZN and AAPL which benefited the most during this time, that would have been an easy 4-5% overall portfolio yield. Still learning lessons here.
Current exposure
BA WMT VZ AB ARKK C
lesser holdings of
TLRY CGC RIOT MARA
About 33% cash, and a rather timid portfolio at the moment, with more downward moves will add to BA, TLRY, WMT, ARKK, in that order.

Volatility (vix) has been rising last couple days
Gold is moving up
Dollar is hitting a resistance trendline
Market has been largely red yesterday
Precious metals and value may be good to watch as the dollar retraces to bottom trend line assuming rejection here
Watching a few stocks that have a lot of potential will try and post a list this evening
Premarket futures look green but with volatility rising and potential dollar retracement may want to be cautious
I'll be keeping less positions and very tight stop losses.
Taking entry only in positions moving up through previous resistance and at pivot points on the chart where the support floor is clear and close

Keep an eye on
COHU
Consolidated into the 200ma, close to breaking 50ma and down trend line
Financials look strong
I will more than likely be taking a position with a stop loss very tight at 35.5
MMAT is another one
Hitting the floor at the 200ma with high volume
Hour chart has broken up through 20ma (previous resistance)
Good entry location with a tight stop loss that would invalidate the trade

Tlry tanked hard
I got in on MMAT this morning for under $4 and fucked it up. Had a stop loss set then on my lunch break at work I raised my stop loss and got stopped out for a tiny profit. Then it ran higher.
Kicking myself but this very bearish market had me spooked. Should took my 7% profit when I saw it.
Want to point out,
Gold is looking bullish (XAUUSD)
Meanwhile DXY (dollar) is hitting it's resistance and upper trend line 3 times looking like it wants to break up against trend
Vix is potentially rising (market volatility)
I would be extremely cautious right now.
Geo, does this all paint the market in a bearish light or am I missing things here ?
With everything going on, the potential for this new covid strain. Everything at all time highs.
Just exercise caution and be careful guys

Bought more. Am about 12% cash right now. And probably would have gone all in on the AMZN/BA dip, if time hadnt gotten away from me.
Main additions this afternoon.

Honestly, I am out of the loop at the moment. After the Costa Rica trip, I've been spending most of my time with my son. Haven't hardly pulled up a chart other than a quick glance at the SPY... and on that note, I would say that the close today is not encouraging, but as I said, I haven't had much of an eye on these things at the moment, so I can't really offer much depth in analysis. I do however note that there is a pretty constant battle of the headlines between Powell at the Fed reiterating an easy money stance, as Treasury sec Yellen talks about expectations for continued high inflation metrics. If inflation doesn't begin to ease up on its own soon, I would expect the Fed to become less overtly accommodative, and that is something that is likely to produce a headwind. It's just not known when that will happen, so if you're going to trade, you have to do the same thing a good trader always does: 1) Only take the best entries and 2) Define your risk with a combination of a reasonable sell stop in conjunction with a correspondingly appropriate position size.

The market has been pretty tough recently
Im having decent trades only in stocks ive been watching charts for for a long time and I recently closed down most of my positions to a few holds.
I'm going to be largely sidelines unless I get good indicators with tight stop losses

Still out of my trading seat for the most part, but after the wicked swoon today, there are a couple of charts that look interesting, only for those who enjoy short-term oriented swing/momentum type trades. These might work longer term, if the COVID situation continues to deteriorate, but for now I'm just thinking quick snap-back momentum.
- PTON - Looks like sorta, kinda, a bit of an inverse head & shoulders pattern between the second half of Feb and present day (although the right shoulder is not too much of a shoulder), where today's bounce would indicate a successful retest of the slanted neckline. Given that COVID concerns are croppin' back up, if gyms start closing again, PTON is a company providing products/service with the wind at its back.

- ROKU - Not a screaming buy, but also a company that benefits from COVID related restrictions and had a very nice bounce today, up nearly 2% right off its lower bollinger band.
Generally best to stay on the sidelines when the market takes a deep swoon like this. But sometimes, I just can't help myself. If I'm up and the family ain't callin', I'll be watching these two for some quick flips.

ALB looks to have some supply at $200 although the general trend looks good. A nice long rounded base for 2021 that could turn into a cup with a handle here right at $200. Somewhat extended above its 50 and 200 day moving averages however, with earnings only two weeks out.
ROKU, off to the races.

Yeah Roku took off, how'd you find that?
Happy to say I was firmly planted in tlry before this pop.
I'm going to be cautious of a pullback soon, or resistance/sell off around 18
We do have resistance sitting overhead but I also don't know want to exit before this shows it's potential.
