ONE THING about the market.. you can't really time it .. beats to it's own drum but things look better today for sure

I made some good money on individual stocks over the last few years (Amazon, Netflix, PayPal, Apple, Chegg, etc) and Im having the debate if I should sell some and put them into my ETFs.

I personally like to have a big chunk of my money in high dividend ETFs (e.g. VYM) and let it reinvest the divendends. That way, if the market drops it just means that the next set of dividends will just get you more shares. You can just let it sit there and reinvest for decades.

Yea, that is nice. Thanks
In the last 2 months I really heavied up on VYM, might throw some more soon.

Stock splits don't really "create" value...but I like AMZN anyway so

I like amazon too. I know historically after splits that stocks prices usually rise pretty well though

They do to low dollar unsophisticated retail investors and also to companies like Amazon that give normal employees stock as part of compensation. They don’t increase the market cap directly but they have a good impact.
