Liquified my big $17,000 Roth. Figure $4000 for each grandchild, +$4k to the savings account for hopefully the one that gets in the hopper, should sate me for this year.
"Trying to decide how to simplify things for when my girls inherit the IRA, use cash coming in to fund my grandkids, and still have my fun of looking for little guys that maybe have opportunity for nice returns."
As it is many times, the hard part is getting started. This week I just jumped in, selling under achievers vs. VUG. Out APD, LOW, ADBE, and BIO.
If I take out all my traders, what I leave for the girls won't be so complicated.
Current cash $21,507
What is staying, in current order of size:
ENPH $189,282 will pare it down slowly, on a rise, or trade I can't turn down AMZN $59,570 GOOG $49,926 AVGO $34,542 added 8 this week, $1372 to $1309 AAPL $33,643 ISRG $22,518 RMD $17,744 PANW $15,925* MELI $10,353* ORCL $6,797
Staying for income to give the grandkids. Not planning to add more:
