By no means have you offended me, I appreciate the candid honesty. I see your point and agree with it in principal. I am in early 40's and have a pretty high risk tolerance. I would just be reinvesting the dividends I would not need the income for 10 years which I hope to retire early 50's. Generating 80-100k in dividends from Nrz, nly, and codi. I also own some Blackstone. The stocks I am getting out of were square, facebook, and a few other high flying tech stocks at 52 week highs, I am getting nervous up here. I also am selling my bitcoin I bought at 1800, I made my share and want to sleep better at night.
