Full disclosure I dumped most everything the last few weeks.. it's becoming a bore.... I don't like recommending stocks either especially to a beginner.
You tell them to buy and 6 months later they do....who knows what they just got into..lol...of course it's your fault...
I don't believe we can hold 7000. We haven't had any actual global oil shortage yet - the tankers that left weeks ago are still arriving. There will be an actual shortage at some point. If we couldn't hold it in January before liquidity had dropped and sentiment dropped and the AI glow washed off, I don't think we hold it here. So I went long the VIX and WTI and short the Nasdaq using ETF's. If it doesn't work happy to add more later.

I have to muscle a turd stock which has a 83% buy rating and the 17% is hold which i laugh at and never trust..
I have had it 3 months...10k shares and I did the math I can buy another 10k shares and get out...
Why, another waste of time... I want to erase it from my list....lol
I got stuck in Ford once and it was doing the penny toggle the whole week and I had to really muscle it and have some luck too and escaped with a modest profit...
The unnamed turd isn't worth looking at anymore...

Define "little"
100%
With some equities "timing" doesn't have such an impact as it does with others, in the long run.
But not every stock is a Warren Buffet, forever investment.
On the other hand, we tend to buy and hold. E.G. AMZN, bought for $256, pre-split, in 2012. Looking at a roughly 1,900% gain since then.
Or CAT, bought in the fall of 2008, for $34, when everybody was selling, we’ve kept it, and reinvested dividends. The dividends obscure the actual price appreciation in Schwab’s calculator, but CAT closed at $770 yesterday, and we have about 40% more shares (through the DRIP) - so, I’ll leave the rough math out there and say that CAT has actually outperformed AMZN.
Nothing wrong with buying and holding, as long as that company continues to do well.

Another reason to hold is so that your kids can get a step up in capital gains. In Astro's example above, that would be a huge tax savings. I have a large sum of MSFT from my mom that has appreciated a bunch and I plan to hold and pass to my kids so they get the advantage. I shudder at the tax bill if I dump it.
Not a concern for inherited tax advantaged accounts, (which went to 10 year disbursement a few years ago). But valid concern for any high value investment. (some states have an even worser death penalty, which the whole wealth mess gets taxed)
When my MIL was passing the whole gang wanted to sell everything right away...........I told my wife hold on! Get the step up in/from the estate!
100 shares, RED this amDefine "little"
Selling my PLTR, well the shares that are not my 4/17 covered call which will be executed tomorrow. I hate that. Yes I made money both sides, but the covering shares squelched further profit. But I'm not greedy!
