I'm more of a buy and hold for retirement sort of guy. Been moving over to ETFs, but still have some individual stocks. Most of you guys buying individual stock, are you guys buying and holding long term for retirement (10-30+years) in mind, or trading in mind, with a price you're aiming to sell at?
Far from an expert at this so take it as this is what I do but not what you should do.

I have 3 different accounts

Fidelity

1. I have an individual account that I play with risky stuff and try to turn a quick buck. Mostly day trade and short term stuff. I do have a little long term stuff in in but not much. I started this account about a year ago with 200 bucks. Day traded it to 1000 and now it sits around 650. Like I said its my risky account. I have made money and lost money in it.

2. I have an IRA that I opened when I owed some tax money and they were offering a 1 to 1 match on IRAs. I owe 850 bucks so I put 850 bucks in an IRA so I didn't have to pay the IRS. I have a combination of short term and long term in here. I do some short term quick flips to fund long term buys. Its around 2000 right now. The majority are long term individual stocks that pay dividends.

3. My 401K through work. Its all in a fund that tracks the SP500.

BTC showed a perfect classic bear flag, seems like a lot of money came out of crypto an small caps are getting some love. All the small caps jsut got killed once the crypto took off, hopefully it all continues the money inflows

How much bitcoin, etherium, or doge do I need to buy a sheep tag in one year 🤔

Jokes aside...I look at the amount of money I dumped into draws...and then look at the cumulative % chance of drawing..which was a joke....I'm thinking crypto will beat the state draw odds...obviously a risk...but look what we've been doing every year with the state draws !!

I'll be buying all the way down

I’m not going to say that’s a bad idea because I agree.

Futures slipping today. Looks like we will gap down tomorrow. Inflation continues to be the buzz word.

Edit: Wrong, gap up.

Nice to see GTE may survive after all. It's got a tough road ahead moving up but It's looking good coming up from that bounce off the floor of .59ish. Today's buy volume is propping it up nicely.
glad my buy order hit again at .60. energy is killing it the past few days. wll lpi sm, mro, dvn fang, cdev

NIO making a nice comeback

What are your thoughts on picking up CCIV?
Id stick with commodity type stocks the next few months but that's just me. I think the market is favoring stocks that have intrinsic value the past 5 months. Some of the cryptos like ETH I think decent buys if they drop to around 2100 or less again.

I picked up steel stocks X and TKAMY, Spirit( 3rd time) , ALK( 3rd time) , AFLYY, ASX ( chip maker) last month in addition to my energy stocks.
look to opening economies, building, travel the next 1/2 year

Just a guess.
