Hey, that’s still a very nice profit.

No one every lost money taking a profit.

And no one has a crystal ball - all one can do is play perceived percentages.

It got too volatile for me and I didn’t have the cajones to hold 😁

” no one ever lost money taking a profit.”

No truer words ever spoken.

If you leave some of the houses money on the table, pat your self on the back ...

I've seen most folks, me included ... sometime wait too long to pull the trigger, looking for that “one more tick”...
that is shooting for “bulls eyes” a hard temptation to resist.

“$150 and sold at $400”
somebody do the math on that.... looks shinny green to me
So mr/ms ? Skywise ... what other kind of ideas are zipping around in that brilliant mind of yours ?
What sort of things do you look at when pondering a move?
Are you buy and hold? swing , options ...
charts, fundamentals, momentum ....?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Did you see that bottom call Eccl 10 made on the Q this am... BAD @$$ ... (I should probably tip him)

It surprised me how long they held that $ down after the 10y
jumped.... actually held it till after market. I'm going to have to ponder that a bit... my first impression is NDX opens lower in the am ... under 17500
as the $ gets pulled up by the yield ... but if the yield comes to meet the $ ... that would change.

not financial advise for entertainment only
I know it entertains me ... better than a bass boat
