You can't go wrong with Apple if your plan is to hold onto it for the long term.

Didn’t know this thread existed. I’m holding AAPL, FB, SQ, and TSLA. I’ve also got a position in ARKK but I plan to add a lot more. Thinking about making a play on BA either this week or next.
I love it. Have all of those except SQ, who I missed the run up on.
Funny you mention ARK, because I’ve been considering adding ARKK for a while now. Cathie Wood is a genius. She’s the reason I have holdings in TSLA, TDOC, and WKHS.
One of my SPAC gambles took off today - SHLL. My other one OPES, not so much.

I was considering picking up SHLL later this week, after payday but that bytch is running up crazy so I feel I may have missed the boat. I’ve got SPCE on the watch list as well. I can grab 100 shares and it’ll be such a small part of my portfolio that it won’t be a big deal if it doesn’t take off. No pun intended.
ARK ETF’s are the truth. I was initially in index funds. I had the Schwab Total US Market and their International Market Funds. I did the comparison on returns and there was no way I could justify not going all in with either ARKK or ARKW.

I simply look at the growth potential for the sector. Understand the sector and then research the the stocks and index funds you have interest in.
Review the financials, understand the growth prospects, and go from there.
My main holds: FB, TSLA,JD, SQ, (holding for the next 5+ years)
My intermediate holds are: LMND, JMIA, NVDIA, DKNG( I plan on holding for the next 2-3 years)
My speculative holds: SDC, SPCE, RIOT, NET, ACCD, and ACM( I have very small positions in these, but I'm watching to see if they can move up to the big leagues as time passes. The bold are ones are the ones I see real potential in, in the next year)
My etfs: the entire ARK series, BRZU, CHIQ & BLCN.

When I'm not speculating on options, I mostly go for Dividends when I'm buying Long Term stocks. Like so:
Symbol Dividend Dividend Yield
SLG 0.295 7.5048
XOM 0.87 8.4857
IDV 0.2971 8.3622
VYM 0.8368 3.5778
T 0.52 7.0057
GSK 0.4839 6.2123
PZT 0.0574 2.6012
TLT 0.1902 1.5125
GLD 0 0
I have E-Trade set up to automatically reinvest the dividends.

Yeah I'm looking for the next SPAC to get into. I'll have to research SPCE.
ARK's expense ratio is fairly high at .75, but with their returns, it doesn't even matter. ARKK and ARKW were both up 80%+ YTD last time I checked. And I believe ARKK won an award for best performing ETF of the last 3 years. Cathie is the truth.
Sound approach
Seems to be some overlap between portfolios in here: FB, TSLA, and SQ
And another ARK breh
i don't see the appeal for dividend stocks. Yeah it's nice getting that guaranteed (but not always) income, but most of these stocks are stagnant. I prefer growth stocks since I'm on the younger side and still have 30+ years to invest.
Can you explain the appeal to me? I feel like they would vastly underperform growth stocks, especially in a bull market.
I didnt know this was a thread. Us holders don't have much excitement because we mainly accumulate instead of changing positions every day and week like the day traders. 
Im heavy in index funds for retirement. Have been for years now. Invesco QQQ, VOO and VTI primarily. I have a small 20% of the portfolio dedicated to some chosen holds, but theres lots of overlap from the 500.

They do underperform growth stocks primarily, but they are supposed to. On the other hand they typically are more stable during bear markets due to the dividend payout and because they have less growth to "miss out on". But Dividend stocks are usually reserved for when you retire. When you are young typically people go with growth stocks to return the absolute most capital you can get. You want the biggest ball of cash you can accumulate; then when you retire you take all your money out and put them over in dividend stocks and live off of the money the dividend kicks out to you every quarter or month.
A 2 million dollar retirement balance after all taxes and fees are paid put into a Dividend portfolio with a 4% yield would bring you 6k a month to live off of in your retirement. 3 million would bring you 10k a month. Helps that big ball of cash you saved last until you die, so you can pass the $3m off to your kids or whoever to help them secure their lives too. But I don't understand pursuing the dividend stocks while we are young either unless you just really love the company. All that dividend income yearly is taxable too, even if its qualified dividends you have to pay tax on it unless its in your Roth IRA.

I just got my brother into investing and I recommended QQQ, VTI, VGT and blue chips to start off. Very similar to your portfolio.
And yeah your explanation is exactly how I view dividend stocks. Much more appealing if you're trying to preserve wealth while not being quite as conservative as bonds.
But I see young brehs all the time talking about DRIP, and I just don't see it as an optimal strategy for a young investor.
Remember that if you reinvest the dividends, your money compounds. So the income you get per month isn't static, it will increase every quarter. The longer you hold them, the more money you get. Yes, it's taxable, but you don't have to sell anything to get it.
Plus, I like the idea that in an emergency I can just turn off DRIP and have money coming in, without selling anything.
