It's too close to $50k right now. Historically the big money takes out their gains when it crests the next $10k level, so it should pull back soon. But I bought in again at ~$42k and I'm sitting on some nice gains that I'm going to bank soon.

I'm just not a huge believer in bitcoin.  I'm satisfied with my 100 shares of Boeing and how it has done.  I bought it last year when the price was VERY low ($136 per share).  I sold off some shares to take profits and turned around and bought new shares on the way up (sell let's say 25 or 50 shares when it's had a good run, then buy the same 25 or 50 shares on a dip limiting my investment to 100 shares max).  As it has climbed I sell the oldest shares and replace them with new shares.  So far I am still up and may add to my position and increase the next buy to perhaps 200 shares on the next dip.  I have done the same with Micro$oft.  My only regret is not riding the Apple wave.

These are the only two single stocks that I have in my portfolio since I very seldom buy single stocks.  I have been heavy into tech ETF's for the most part as well as a few index ETF's.  Small caps are doing pretty good right now and I'm looking closely at perhaps rolling into the energy sector as well as perhaps banking.

No kidding - that's always the case with me.  Even when I win, I continue to think "what if".   I need one of those +700% increases (i never even heard of that stock).   I just bought PLTR before the close.  They dropped 12.75% today so I'm hoping for a 6% upward swing tomorrow then I'll likely dump it.

It's not offered under my Fidelity 401K brokerage link.  I tried to get in at $31k

Your trading platform sucks.  If I was you I would invest in ETF's with your 401k brokerage link and open a regular account with Fidelity (or whatever brokerage you choose) if you want to gamble on single stocks.
