I have some people around me that try to dictate what you should do in the market like hold out for a bigger pay day.. I try to go with my gut instinct as I'd rather skim a little here and there..
Like last week I took a very quick $715. and I knew I was selling a bit short...
That said just over an hour later it would have been $6300 under and later over $7k in the hole....

It happens to everyone but I'd rather sell too soon than be stuck worrying about it....
Like us all i have been on the bad side....no thanks 😊

It and PLTR are on a slow rise..
PLTR fell painfully hard today...coming back to a slow gasp 😆
 
Anybody here sells cash covered puts? I'm thinking about doing this with PFE - it's one of the major dividend positions in my portfolio and I have been collecting it for a decade now.
 
I did some large share hits on several stocks the past two days including after hours. The cheap stocks like STEX, BBAI, BLND, 10 to 15k shares...

Legit stocks much less but did well on EPD, KMI, Realty Income

I just sold 10k shares of BBAI for $945 which was good for 90 minutes.

I stay in for a short duration because everything seems risky today
 
Ok, this is a simple mans post, not a trader like a lot of you guys as you know. I buy and hold, could be for a month or two, or if I love a company I hold, example would be Walmart which I owned maybe for 6 years now. Others like GM I would jump in and out in a month or two or three.
Im typically fully invested in this Roth. Anyway, sold my much LOVED META today @$723 a share. Owned it for roughly 18 months and 44% gain. Im sad because I love the company, however in past earnings reports I didnt sell and over time the stock comes back down. I hope it does again this time because I will buy it back. I love the company, Im just uneasy with the market. I hope I dont regret selling it and that it lets me back in some day. They are going to start subscription services now to FB, Instagram etc....

Anyway the street scared me enough with the costs of AI even though META is killing it. Im sick about selling it *LOL* I hope the stock settles down a while.
