$Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$ if you don't have time to do frequent trading, and a bit of stale income, ETFs is the way to go. $Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$ is one of my choices due to reasonably attractive dividend. Invest this for long term or keep extra cash in hand for quick turnover when you need cash to buy other stocks.
$Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ war war... oil price shoots up.... war isn't good :-( maybe take the opportunities to take profits in stocks to help those suffering from wars...
Buy the dip? Not necessary. I always buy quality company, those with lots of cash and ROE more than 20%. Also, not everyone has huge cash to buy the dip - so those without a lot of cash to buy more, at least don’t panic sell when market is bad. Again, good company always re-bounce. Hang in there fellow investors!
