Just about all of them. I like Think or Swim, but RobinHood does as well.

Thanks man. I downloaded robin hood a while back but never did anything with it. I’ll check it out again!
I think you can do that with Fidelity or Vanguard too.
What pandemic. My entire portfolio including 401K, Roth IRA and two brokerages are up over 40% this year.
If you can time the sector rotation (got to be getting close!) you can keep the train rolling!
REITs about to take off.
Good luck everyone.
Powell loves ya.
It might be semantics but I’m not anticipating sector rotation, I’m predicting irrational exuberance to take effect very soon.
The move over the last 5 months has been carried by two things; recovery of equities that were over sold, and by a few key names such as TSLA, NVDA, AMZN, AAPL and MSFT.
I see this move creating euphoria which will lead investors to start putting money into more speculative stocks looking for the next ten-baggers.
The areas I see taking off are solar and anything in the current holdings of ARK Investments mutual funds. ARK is the flavor of the month for mutual funds and their brand is disruptive innovation. That’s what’s hot right now and going to get hotter.
I have three solar companies and two of them have just broken long term resistance which means, from a technical philosophy, the prices are more likely to go sky high from here. My third solar holding is on the cusp of breaking resistance.
I own Z and SQ, which are ARK holdings. I actually just sold half my position in SQ because I think it’s due for a pull back. This might have been a bad move, we’ll see.
I don’t see REITs catching fire but I won’t mind if I’m wrong because I’ve got a lot. I own WY, a timber REIT, and it has been on fire but that’s because wood prices have shot sky high over the last couple of months. (still only matching pre-covid highs though) One thing I hate about WY is senior management is fleecing their pockets with million+ dollar salaries.

Love Cathie Wood. I started watching her update videos in April/May and pulled the trigger on a position in ARKK sometime in May. That was my vehicle to get into TSLA with some down risk.
I’ve been thinking about this lately. It’s like the money is just following the money at this point. I do not think it’s sustainable though. I think there has to be a pullback for value and dividends which come back into profitability in a stronger marketplace where competitors went BK.
My big bet is on SPG.
How do you think AAPL and TSLA react coming out of the splits?
Also, how do you think stocks react the remainder for 2020 and through US elections?
Been thinking about taking some profits myself and watching for a bit. But I can also see this market continuing to rip higher. Why wouldn’t it? Vaccines, treatments and testing will continue to lead headlines with reduction in cases and deaths.
OR, TWINDEMIC HITS 
I don’t follow Apple but in general, I’ve heard stocks typically dip a bit after a split, then resume their previous course. I think that will be the case for TSLA up until Battery Day. For Tesla, if there’s going to be a sell off anytime soon, it will be shortly after battery day. No one’s going to sell before that.
If the Dems take the White House, green energy will probably reap the rewards.
“I think there has to be a pullback for value and dividends which come back into profitability”
I think the bubble will grow into a broader market than the big 5 I listed. In other words, I think the bubble will broaden before value stocks come into favor.
For me, when the bubble pops, it’s an opportunity to get more Tesla, not to buy some REIT or a bank. Unlike the dot com bubble stocks, Tesla & Amazon are revolutionary companies that will come back strong from any weakness.

I’m much more of a trader than an investor (I do own some Apple and Tesla shares). Right now I’m having my best year ever trading the growth leaders for the most part, but have caught some nice moves in more pedestrian stocks like Deere.
I’m a technical guy, so “be dumb, follow price” is my mantra. That said, I’m pretty bullish over the intermediate term, regardless of who wins the election, as long as Fed policy remain consistent.

$SPG, $O, $MAC
So is real rotation beginning or is this a head fake?
Is oil dead? There’s no way! It’s so devalued at this point, that waiting for a solid reversal has to be a good play for entry, right?
Still feel good about tech in the short term? I’m watching very close. Looking forward to adding to current low ARKK position once the flush is over.
Good luck with your picks!
O, SPG & MAC could rally off these lows but they are renting to dying industries. Even O, which has a really nice long term chart, scares the shit out of me when I look at their tenets. 7-Eleven is their number 2 revenue generator and 7-Eleven is going to fall on very hard times when no one’s stopping there for gas anymore.
They’ve got a couple of cinemas and a bunch of gyms in their top holdings. It’s really questionable how many of those will stay in business. O has some good holdings, and the market seems to believe in them (unlike MAC and SPG) but why not put your money in the path of social change?
Tesla is going to go on sell next week. They didn’t get into the S&P 500 so there’s going to be a continued sell-off. S&P inclusion doesn’t mean shit for the business so it’s pure opportunity.
It’s better to own Tesla direct than it is through ARK. She has to sell as TSLA exceeds 10% of the holdings so she’s selling the stock as you’re buying ARK for that very stock.
How about IIPR? I can’t remember if I mentioned this REIT somewhere up thread, but they are on point. Their tenets are cannbis growers and so far, for me anyway, they’ve been a great pick and shovel play. The cannabis industry is going to continue to grow and the players will figure out how to become profitable. IIPR has figured out how to be profitable now. Tenets that do go out of business won’t hurt IIPR that much because they will be able to rent very quickly to the next grower who decides to hit on the opportunity. Can O say that about AMC locations that are going close down?
Admittedly, IIPR is expensive by REIT standards, as is the dividend low. The dividend has increased quickly though and I see that continuing unless we fall into a serious recession. If the pot industry thrived in a recession, it actually wouldn’t surprise me at all. I’m looking to add to my position in the 90 - 100 range. Tesla probably around 375.
I sold a put two weeks ago and was surprised I actually made money. Only was confident enough to put $500 on it, but this news helped!
I’ve pretty much locked in my long positions and have been trading options on the volatility. Primarily trading on the 1-5M chart, looking at TECL and other industry indexes.

The beauty of differing opinions (me and you) and forward-thinking mgt (spg, mac, o).
The dying industries will be replaced with new blood. Retail will never die, it will evolve into an experience and residential omni-channel business.
Old tenants and dead anchor space will be repurposed/replaced with high end grocer, Dave & Busters like, multi-family residential, Amazon (retail front, neighborhood fulfillment in back).
Only a few will survive and have the guts to spearhead the change (and already are). SPG & MAC.
I’m not worried about O’s tenants one bit, nor their ability to pivot. Why are gas stations getting built like crazy still? They must feel pretty confident about at least the next 10+ years.
Why can’t ARKK own more than 10%? All that means is they have to report position changes right? Regardless, I’d prefer not to own TSLA direct, I’m still skeptical of Elon honestly. At least through ARKK I get TSLA + other disruptive/cutting edge businesses. I don’t fully understand TSLA yet. Need to research more.
I’ll look into IIPR, but not sure I want to get behind a cannabis REIT haha. Looks like it’s valued high currently too. Still, I’ll look into it, thanks.
What’s your thoughts on SPCE Virgin Galactic? 
I don’t think these are investible stocks. These are for fun money, that’s about it.
Regarding Elon, I hear you there. I’d be rich right now if he didn’t have the streak of immaturity and lack of judgement he sometimes shows. I would have been all in on Tesla if not for things like the pediphile accusation, smoking pot on a podcast, funding secured, and generally easily baited on social media.
How has everyone done investment wise over the last few months since this topic was active? I enjoyed reading it over the summer.
I just logged onto my account in which I bought: cruise, oil, airline, and banking stocks right after corona news (probably early march). I am up 40.2%.

At the dip in late October I had gone from up about 12% since July to nearly even. But, I shoved most of my remaining cash into BA, AVB, RTX, SKT and cashed out more than half my portfolio on Friday up over 20%.
with most of the country reverting to covid closures, partisan gridlock holding up covid relief payments, and vaccine not widely available till spring I don’t see a continued recovery. So I’m hanging out with 60% cash, and half my invested portfolio in silver and gold. The rest is mostly in KMI and GILD which I’m down on but plan to hold for a long while. I’ll be ready to jump all over the next dip. This is just “play around” money and I was real cautious deploying money at first so losses/gains were very muted early on. This is not my retirement portfolio.

Same here. My other accounts are all up though too. Covid has not been bad to those with money in the stock market. I was down about 30% on my biggest 401K account. Now I am up 10% to just before Covid (not putting money into that one anymore either). I don’t really understand how that is possible, but I’ll take it.
Is this a sign of another K shaped recovery?
What this exercise has taught me is that I can’t beat the index averages haha. It’s more exciting and enjoyable to pick stocks, but I would have been better off throwing it all in QQQ and SPY back in April.
