I myself see a big pullback coming in the next six months but I don’t know that I have ever been correct over 45 years. I will put a lot of money in if a 10% pullback comes.

Let's say you have a $100,000 portfolio. On a given trading day, the numbers show an increase in value of $500. Within that portfolio is a small position in a stock that blew up and shows a 20% ($1,000) decline for the day.

My point is to show that a typical investor doesn't need to worry about yield and just invest longer term mostly in indexes such as SPY/VTI and if you want more tech you can use QQQ.
