this
i bought SHOP at 34.80...it has nearly tripled since. its up 5% today. earnings are tomorrow morning. SHOP is incredibly & magnificently overvalued relative to its peers.

this market is way overheated and logically theres nowhere to go but down

Yes

My covered calls are getting exercised heavily.

I don't see anything I want to buy.
I have a few stocks I likely will keep
200 shares MSFT
1500 shares PLTR
5000 shares SOFI

Rest will just go to cash for a bit.

Just took profits on dutch brothers and Honeywell.... Not sure where to put that money though since everything is so expensive.

Sold half my position in TSLA yesterday. Letting the other half ride the wave on out for a bit
Probably sitting on that cash for a little to see if there are any dips somewhere between now and end of year

I think we’ll have a correction soon. No reason to run for the hills

You need to re read the chart. That says through June 2023. At the end of June 2023 the S&P was at 4400. Before the election on November 1st it closed at 5995. Up 36% since June 2023 to Nov 1st 2024.

Again, the market doesn't care over time

Anybody taking profits?


Once we hit mid-80s I considered cashing out a small bit just to recoup some of what I've put in and make a small bit, but then thought...why? All I'd want to do it just buy more BTC but at double what I paid originally lol

My car is 13 years old so I think that within the next ~2 years I'll need to get a new one, so my plan is to just keep holding on until then then cash out a bit.

I took profits on RKLB this morning so that the rest of my shares are house money.

selling winners to feed losers? That’s a good way to go broke

It is selling high and buying low. It has worked very well for the last 10+ years. you might also call it "rebalancing." Tons of articles/studies out there on the effectiveness of regular rebalancing.

hmmm…well I “rebalance” by selling my (many) losers and using the proceeds to either feed a winner at a dip or try and find another one. I’m not sure I agree that a sound investment strategy would or should include buying more of a stock that has already proven itself as unprofitable.

to wit: “I lowered my cost basis”
no you didn’t…you bought another lot at a lower price

If he's buying more KO because it's dipped 10% from the high, then he certainly won't go broke.

Now if he's loading up on spirit....
