Gained $11.5k - reinvest or cash out?

So I came into some solid gains recently. I bought Nikola before the reverse-merger (when it was VectorIQ) at $14 and sold this week at $72. I actually did the research pre-merger on NKLA so please don't group me in with the Robinhood cowboys, lol, but I made about $11.5k in gains.

What should I be doing with that money now? I know it's not a lot, but it's the most I've ever made in my short 2 years of having a Fidelity account. Given the volatility we've seen the past few days, do you guys see it continuing? Should I have it as cash on the sidelines instead or pump it into QQQ or VOO?

Thanks in advance for the advice because I am really tempted to cash out on the gains and go buy something stupid like a watch and some shoes.

Always remember to pay the tax man first - especially on a large gain. Deal with that first, then go from there.

I think now you have enough wisdom to start your own company and post ads on YouTube about how you made millions in the stock market and how you can teach others how to too.

I do need a bike for sure. But $12.5k to get around? I like nice bicycles but what will this do for someone who wants the average/above average ride in New York?

Central park is really fun to ride. I'd check out your local bike shop for deals. You should be able to get a good bike for $2K-5K if you want a good carbon fiber frame bike.

Your best bet is to dollar cost average into a low cost broad based ETF. VOO, VTI, SPY will all do the trick. I would buy in 4 equal increments of $3k spaced out over a few months. there’s really no right answer how to buy, just make sure you don’t try to time the bottom.
