Ever wonder how much of your portfolio should go into tech stocks or any single position? The answer isn't one-size-fits-all. According to pros in the investment space, your allocation strategy needs to account for three critical factors:
First, know your risk tolerance. Can you stomach 30% swings? Or do you sleep better with stability? Your answer shapes everything.
Second, consider your time horizon. If you're investing for retirement 30 years out, you can weather volatility differently than someone with a 5-year goal.
Third, align it with your financial goals. Building emergency funds? Saving for a house? Each goal demands a different approach.
The bottom line: there's no universal "right" percentage. Your tech allocation—or any asset allocation—should be a personal calculation based on these three pillars. Get these fundamentals right, and you've built a foundation for smarter decisions.

Honestly, this set of theories has been the same for so many years... The key is that most people simply can't follow through, and when they see others making money, they go all in.

Basically, don't blindly chase risks; you need to ask yourself if you can handle the volatility... I can't, so I've already reduced my tech stock holdings.

Honestly, I can't sleep with a 30% fluctuation, so it's better to be cautious.

To be honest, this kind of "depends on the person" argument sounds reasonable, but when it comes to actual operation, it still relies on luck...
