As a dude turning 30 this year and am on a 4-month career break, I invested more heavily on blue chips.
Recently, I realised 6 of my stocks will report earnings over the next weeks (as indicated by the symbol beside the stocks). It makes me a bit anxious as this may cause huge swings in my PnL. Honestly, after 2+ years of selling weekly options and buying stocks, I have become lazy to keep up with the news, as they are just endless and tiring to keep up.
Thus, I am lowkey afraid i am holding stocks that is just "slowly dying".
What do you guys think of these holdings, where the **earnings are coming out soon**?
1. UNH (225 shares at $305): somehow i was a huge fan of UNH, hence holding alot of it.
2. COIN (100 shares at $200)
3. AMZN (100 shares at $222)
4. MSFT (10 shares at $429)
5. META (125 shares at $639)
6. DUOL (50 shares at $205)
Other than these, im also holding LULU (100 shares at 200) and CPRT ($200 shares at 46).
**Update after reading some comments**: I have already went through enormous swings like after Trump announced tariffs last April (my historical pnl dropped and wiped out from +55K to -12K, afterwhich i just held and they finally recovered and hit new highs), so when i said "a bit anxious about the swings from these earnings", i really mean abit. I find SNP500 too slow, but i did finally got into 10 SPY at $645 around 2 weeks ago (should have gotten into more!!).
I am more interested in alternative viewpoints on these stocks (i know to take with a pinch of salt), rather than advice to get into snp500.
The fact that I am "lazy to keep up with the news" is because i have grown much more accustomed to swings after playing for 2+ years
