Roth IRA 2020 Investment

It's that time of year to contribute to my Roth IRA account. The 2020 limit is $6k. I won't do 2021 until next year because there's always the chance I'll make too much income (2020 AGI is $120k which I might be over if not for my mortgage payments).

Current positions:

  • Companies
    • AAPL - $125k
    • TSLA - $62k
  • ETFs
    • DIA - $20k
    • QQQ - $48k
    • SPY - $27k
  • Mutual Funds
    • DODFX - $4k
    • DOMIX - $19k
    • DSEFX - $14k
    • PXWEX - $10k

I think I bought TSLA last year just before they announced a big split so that was fortunate. Still, having more than 50% of this account in two company stocks is risky so I should invest in an ETF.

Historically I've invested $10k in DIA, $10k in QQQ, $8k in SPY. I think I'll invest in QQQ (NASDAQ ETF). More risky than the other two because NASDAQ is heavily tech-based but still has good gains and better than depending on one company.
