Answer 1

Nice picks as long as you are further diversified beyond these stocks... any way I will tell you after you sell if they were good picks:-)

Answer 2

Look, there is a difference between being risky and being reckless. I would argue your investments are basically reckless. You can still be way more diversified than you are and in equally risky stocks - keep that in mind. Once again, nobody here could tell you if those are the right stocks for you - because nobody knows the purpose of your investments or your investment horizon.

Also, ask one question and wait for answer - don't bog down these questions with repeats - or you will be flagged. Good luck.
