but it is what it is. Speculative plays are in the dump. TLRY. Ugh. Intel still fading. Most stocks have been range bound since Oct if not earlier. I'm thinking of UBER, BABA, NKE, ABT, DIS. And as the big ones go so goes the market. If big tech ever gets hit - GOOGL MSFT META, TSLA then the NASDAQ will really tumble, and most broad based mutual/ETFs hold big blocks of those and index funds even worse. Concentration in a diversified portfolio. Dangerous, or at least not without risk.
