The FANG stocks over the last few years have been a great opportunity as an example and none of them pay much of a dividend. I'm retired and I own some of those as individual stocks and inside funds. I've rebalanced a couple times in the last 2 years because they became too large a portion of my investments and I think their growth will slow.
Tesla is an interesting stock that I haven't invested in unfortunately, I still think it's overvalued though and won't go after it especially with the rising competition. While I could be making a mistake on that one, I'm sticking to my guns on that choice.

Sounds like you didn’t read what Greg wrote.
Keep in mind is that his advice and this thread is for relative newbies as opposed to well heeled seasoned folks who can tolerate a higher level of risk.
Maybe you guys who want to go more advanced should start your own Investing 103 thread….
