I flew with a bloke in HOU a few years back that had his entire profit sharing account in LUV. He recommended I do the same. I am not a financial advisor, but even I knew that was a terrible idea. Of course, the gold hoarders are all laughing at me now, so who knows.
I haven taken some off the table along the way to lock in gains. I bought a new HVAC system with my post COVID gains and am now sitting on $15k in gains on shares bought since 2023…but hey at keast you’ve been getting that sweet $0.18 divvy all these years! 😉
