Would an early Short Term Capital Gain in 2019 affect your investment strategy?

If you had a $100,000 short term capital gain in 2019 already, how would it affect your investment strategy?

You have just the $100,000 gain to invest. Would you take on additional risk or do certain trades that leave you with:

Short Term Capital Losses that could be taken in 2018 and Long Term Capital Gains that could be held or closed out in 2019
