Dang, I still don't understand this, but I looked at my 1 year return and it is 17.5%. Nuts.
$LVGO continues to kill it for me. Earnings on Thursday should be interesting.
Not really. I’ve held most of positions for YEARS. I believe in some of the tech companies right now that are lifting the market. Our consumption of their services won’t likely pull back anytime soon.Anyone else having the bad idea to cash out and sit and wait?

Tech companies that allow us to continue with some since of normalcy while social distancing are killing it.

I'm in it for the long haul and am just gonna continue holding. I imagine it'll pull back at some point but it's fun to see it grow so fast even if I'm not gonna sell for potentially years down the line.Of course I don't know how many shares you have but if you don't want to sell any before earnings look at buying a put to protect the downside.
It looks like you could buy a Sep $135 put for around $14. That would mean for each put (cost is 100 x 14 =$1400) you would be guaranteed to be able to sell 100 shares for $135. Probably not feasible option if you have <40-50 shares total.

Doesn't really change much for me. I'd checked out TDOC as well and had considered buying in prior to today's announcement. Gave back some ground with the price on LVGO shares today but it's still a +100%er from when I bought and am cool with it converting once the merge finalizes.Well kinda ironic but it sucks when this happens. Often times promising companies will get bought out. The day after discussing this they get bought out/merge with a larger firm. What is odd is that the market seemed to hate the merger.

I would recommend ETFs for long term/retirement investments. I like the Vanguard funds and I use the Swenson investment style:
30% - VTI
15% - VXUS
5% - VWO
20% - VNQ
25% - BND
5% - VTIP
