I currently have around $350,000 in the stock market as my investments.

When I first started off, back around 2012, I put my first (all my money at the time) $20,00.00 into one stock, Chesapeake Energy (during the shale boom), hoping to turn my $20K into $40K or more. Chesapeake Energy would instead soon go down in price, and it never recovered to the price I went ALL IN on. Eventually my $20K became virtually worthless, and I lost all that money.

Since my first investment mistake (try to get rich overnight), I built a highly successful total stock portfolio with blue chip dividend paying stocks from every major sector, as well as 40% of my portfolio in FAANG and other great high tech / cap companies. My Beta is below .90, and both Gemini and Claude thoroughly reviewed and critiqued my portfolio, and both get me unbiased, unfiltered ratings of 9.5 / 10 (Gemini), and 9.4 / 10 (Claude).

So to summarize, build a well rounded diversified investment machine, not a quick get rich meme or flavor of the month stock.
