My Stock Portfolio

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving everyone. Today I reflect on a lot. I currently don't work but have over 50,000 in my net worth . I have Cerebal Palsy so working a 9-5 job isn't realistic despite being 100% independent.  I don't really know what I want to do with my life. I'm currently living in Penticton British Columbia however I'm not sure how long I want to live here for.

I'm lucky that I was able to dip into the stock market when I was a young adult and have seen some gains over the last handful of years. There are a few things that have me concerned unfortunately.

1. I feel we have reached the end of this golden era of stock growth, I fear a stock market crash is coming soon and I don't want to lose my gains.

2. I have Pot stocks that have earned me a bit of money but I'm not sure what to do after October 17th.

3. Stocks vs money towards a down payment for an apartment?

I've really struggled with these three questions the last 6 months. I don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

JE  100 $4.03 $4.03 $0.00 $402.75 $403.00 $0.25 0.10%
OGI  75 $7.46 $7.39 -$0.07 $559.75 $554.25 -$5.50 -1.00%
ACB  30 $9.78 $12.81 $3.03 $293.45 $384.30 $90.85 31.00%
DIS 15 $25.75 $115.44 $89.31 $500.22 $2,243.00 $1,742.78 448.00%
Cash $262.97 $262.97
$8,314.37 $28,123.52


As you can see with the table above, I have put 8,314 in the stock market and have currently 28,123 in my portfolio. I don't want to lose the gains and I also want to free up some money for if there's a crash I put money on stocks that are under valued when the stock market comes out of the crash. 

Bank of Nova Scotia is the best stock I have but grows at a slow rate. Disney does well for me but that's the stock I have the least amount of shares in. The others are all smaller but have a chance at going up with time. 


I will pay someone commission if we can work on my portfolio together. Just really at a crossroads with this stuff. 

Thanks guys!
