Moderately successful daytrader here, all based on technicals. I want to start putting some of my money into longer-term investments but I've never paid much attention to fundamentals
All I see online and on tv is stock tips and opinions and who knows whats quality and whats not. I want to put my money somewhere safe with moderate growth expectations and not worry too much about it. I'm not really interested in bogglehead methods although eventually I'm sure I'll put some in voo and chill
Right now I'm curious how people are qualifying medium to long term buys, are you looking for underpriced deals on strong companies like Buffet? Looking at companies hitting the 200? Are you buying based on momentum? Shorting things that are overextended (in this market?)
I'm still looking for growth with a strong tolerance for risk, and I'd like to buy near ATM LEAPS, probably just OTM. I attempted something like this in February buying leaps for Google but I paperhanded them and regret it. This is the kind of play that I'd like to be able to find more of. I almost did the same with Microsoft when it was dancing with $400 but the news has been terrible and I thought it had a good chance of going lower. I'm toying with the idea of Meta right now if it hits 600 again
All advice, tactics, thought patterns and especially reading appreciated
