6) I sold out of $ESTC (too tough for me to understand), $FB (mature + too many issues), $WORK (disappointed by Q1 results and increasing competition) and I invested in $NOW, $OKTA , $ROKU , $VRM and http://9923.HK (try out position)....
7) Finally, on the back of rising COVID-19 cases, I dumped all my rentals (which were from the most heavily impacted, sensitive sectors).
Going forward, I'm pretty comfortable with my current holdings but getting concerned about the sky-high valuations of some of my companies..

8) I'll repeat - it is *not* normal for large cap companies to double or triple within 3-4 months and at some point, this will end badly. However, with the Fed's pedal to the metal and speculative juices flowing/resurgence of day traders, the party might continue for a while....
9) If my assessment is correct, the SaaS sector has now become an incipient bubble - it'll probably get bigger but I am fairly certain that the 5-year forward returns won't match the past 5 years' returns.

For my part, I've recently trimmed some of my over-extended/over-valued holdings and invested the cash in $NOW , $ROKU and $VRM (which appear more reasonably valued to me).
If this insanity continues, I might be forced..

12) to trim even more and allocate that cash to more sanely valued holdings - despite what you might hear; trees don't grow to the heavens.

All these sectors have become necessities (utilities on steroids); they save both time and money for both companies and consumers and their customers use these services often - good enough for me.
