yeah, as one of the drivers of this clown car, i agree that it’s exhausting.

Going back to the basics, I do the same thing, except in a more focused manner. I have a core group of 20 or so stocks in my PF and I only invest in one to two of those per year. All my retirement money goes to them. Very rarely do I add a new company. This is a “water the flowers and let the weeds die”’approach. If I could setup brokerage link to auto invest in one or two stocks per year, I would. I rarely dig into financials anymore except for a brief overview quarterly to make sure there hasn’t been a fundamental shift, like going from making microchips to mousetraps, or any kind of fraud allegations. It’s one of many ways, but it works for me.
