AG, it appears what you consider long term and what I consider long term are pretty different. My best stocks are my oldest. Here's one example; I've owned this since the 1990's. Tech for the win baby!

MSFT just puked, so your probably going to be happy with this trade.
Its real money now.
My term on this earth is not as long as it was years ago *LOL* so it's a floating number for me. My investment in real property (not my home) is long term for the last 35 years or so.
Yeah, don't know why, got this feeling that maybe we will go through a cycle or rotation or some event, next earnings are another 3 months out now ... Not that it means anything other than I can sleep now locking in the gain. I missed that chance last earnings call.
Thanks.
I am a real chicken, but I just bought 100 shares of TQQQ.
Maybe good time to buy some?
Thinking of putting a CSP on MSFT at $410.
Yeah, someone advised me once, "People gotta have a place to live..."
And businesses need a building to work out of
The Polymarket just spiked to 80% for Warsh. Must be a leak. Announcement tomorrow.
It makes no difference to me, just sharing the news. There all crooks and it will make no difference.
Whelp, them "crooks" have engineered good enough monetary policy to make the USA the envy of the world, and prosperity has came to those who invested in it through the years.
In spite of, not because of.
We were a rich country long before the federal reserve financial engineering came into play, and it was available to far larger percentage.
You WILL regret selling. But that’s the name of the game.
Sometimes this is the only way to make a stock go up.
Most times, there is remorse in transactions. Time will tell ...
I regretted not selling before the last earnings report to preserve even a higher realized gain. This time I sold... META is a great company, a bit more speculation in their ventures now, but it's raining money for them to spend.
Anyway,
its not a tough to buy it back at open, which I can without costing me anything at this very point of its open. 
but, I think I will just drink coffee instead. I am sure I will regret it, it's looking strong compared to last earning but what do I know. Except subscription services come out soon will bring in even more cash.

This whole market is so over priced, incredible amount of speculation... however those feelings have been for years now! Being in retirement im just looking for "safe" companies not so much long term investments except maybe Walmart ... than safe enough that if the market crashes the P/E might still look favorable compared to some of the outlandish P/E's out there... I still think META is one of those safe companies, I mean the world's biggest advertising platform ... however ... the newer ventures soaking up cash, are they going to pay off? We cant deny the income stream, look at all their projects that have failed but they still can afford those losses. I do like the idea of subscription but with their current platforms free vs other companies with paid subscriptions I dont know if the insane growth will be there like it was with FB, Instagram and others ... since they were free.
I think they are "too big to fail though"
IN all seriousness to put another way, with the P/E's of some many stocks, it still looks like a value even though it shouldn't. SO I dont think one can go wrong... yet I sold it for now! *LOL*
I think I will turn this off before I do something stupid and go to the gym instead. Anyway, I am always looking for stocks that I feel safe in, both multi year safe and to trade even monthly or bi monthly or weekly. It just has to be a company that even if the market tanks, it will be one of the stronger ones to rebound to the price I paid or more.

How long would a "rich country long before the federal reserve" stay wealthy without some kind of a coherent monetary policy? Especially in the very global, high tech financial world we have lived in the last 25-30 years? Trying to prosper relative to the rest of the world without having a monetary policy would be like trying to sail a rudderless ship around the word without a map or any navigation.
IMO, only Alan 'irrational exuberance" Greenspan was the only truly terrible Fed Chair we have had.

The world is highly financialized because the fed weaponized the dollar and follows a beggar thy neighbor policy. We would (do) prosper because we make goods and services of value. The Fed is a leach to the real economy, there simply to fund the never ending deficit and remove moral hazard, privatizing profits and making losses public aka 2008. They suppress wages of the working poor to the benefit of the elite.
Why not let the market set the rates? Of course - all the "capitalists" would much rather the fed had there back.
Transitory. SVB. Subprime is contained. ZIRP / QE for a decade. I could continue.
Don't worry, I don't talk my book. "making" money in the crooked casino is much easier now that I know the books are cooked.
When the VIX gets to 20 I'll sell some puts on 3x leveraged ETFs.
