401k investments typically only let me invest in company stock. So my large cap fund is bloated.

Dang that’s weird

My recent experience has me convinced I need to invest a few hundred dollars in my favorite slot machine. Maximum bet, baby. Let it spin. That plan can't do worse than the market did.

Hahaha, you must have not been in index funds if your investments did bad

Slow and steady

Yessir
