My FB stock is up 25% over the last year or so. AAPL although is struggling. I may move it to FB once I break even.
Please believe me, I'm not being a smart azz. But why do you need to break even before you sell out of AAPL and buy FB? What if FB moves up 10%, while you're waiting for AAPL to move up 5% to get to that break even point?
It's just something that came up frequently in a book I read about the psychology of trading and investing many years ago. It's a very common thing for people to say and believe. Anyway, hope that trade works for you.

ACE buying Chubb, even if it gets held up, is interesting to me. Both should benefit from a higher interest rate climate, and both within reason are conservative. Nice yield(s). Chubb is trading at its buyout price, but I think ACE is attractive at current levels for the reasons mentioned above, and a bunch of others I won't bore you with.
I generally like regional property/casualty insurers, so this is a departure from what I normally do. We'll be through the 2nd quarter which is treacherous for a lot of these carriers. Having said this, both Ace and Chubb, given their national and international exposures, are tougher to predict from a cat. loss perspective.
Not very exciting. Most of what I do isn't.

Its not that I need it to. I just said that I may move it. I do understand your point.
