It’s just index funds but you should see the % some of my tranches from the 90s have. It’s proof that long term index investing works.

#YOLO...I did it.

I no longer have any individual stocks in my IRA.
Still have some Google and Bank of America in my taxable account (sold the rest there in 2018), but I gotta think whether it makes more sense to realize the tax this year or hold off. I might have some realized loss carryover from 2019, but I won't know for sure until I do my taxes.

I like that my brokerage is reporting that my "Cash and Cash Alternatives" position just grew by 114,772,233.33%

Very helpful.

Next question: now that I don't own any individual stocks...do I just move my IRA over to a robo-advisor?

Why spend my time re-balancing (which I will certainly put off and do inefficiently) if a computer can do it for me? Or maybe save that until the next recession when firms get desperate go back to offering big bonuses to roll over your accounts.

Don't rebalance ever. Problem solved.

30-year Treasury yield just hit an all-time low. I feel like that’s a big deal, but can’t really articulate why.

It means we can do whatever we want. All this worrying about debt and deficits is meaningless. Just go forth, spend, and enjoy.

That or it means something terrible.
Deficits, debt, and spending only matter when Democrats are in charge and spend the money on social programs. Then Republicans care about deficits and debt. When they're in charge and spend the money on the military or tax cuts for rich people, it's all good.
