Echoing others, ROTH IRA first, also make sure you are maximizing your 401k. THEN you can dip your toe into the stock market. I have positions in Apple, Netflix, Tesla, Disney among others.

Apple is my biggest position that I've held the longest. It was the first stock I ever bought 12 years ago.

Netflix is my second biggest with 425% gain

Tesla would have been my biggest, but I made a bad call years ago. Still seeing gains, but not nearly what it could have been.

Right now I am looking at crypto, but a part of me is still skeptical. I threw in what I could afford to lose just to enjoy the ride.

Also my LAC stock has finally payed off after sticking it though 6 mediocre years. I saw a 300% gain since then, most of which was this year. It's still fairly cheap, still a development stage company, but looks like it's going to mature to be a big player in the future. At $12 this could be my next Netflix buy.

I also have PLL, but I was a bit late on it.
