Have a little over 5k shares. Trying to figure out a target to sell?
Any of you gurus have advice?

I mean with a half million in a single stock I’d be talking to my advisor…
But I’d probably start selling chunks every $3-$5 dollar increments. It’s got to have a ceiling around $150

You can watch crude futures as a proxy. They’ve been straight ripping for a while now. I’d hold til crude shows signs of a top.

I just looked at the chart. Nice technical breakout will likely run up into earnings then sit back and retest that level

In retirement account or taxable brokerage?

Technical breakout at what level
It's been on a 5 wave pattern since bottom around 100.

$600k+ is a large position to have concentrated in a single stock unless you have an enormous portfolio. I'm not comfortable with more than 10% in individual stocks and much less in any one. I'd rebalance immediately in retirement accounts or gradually to manage tax burden if in taxable.
If you happen to work for the company, that would be even more concentrated risk as you'd be reliant on it's success for your income as well.

wtf is a "5 wave pattern"? See the flat line at 120? When we "break" above that it's call a breakout. If we don't continue then it's called a failed break out.

Don't get me wrong, most "technical setups" are literally JUST that. A setup by the market makers to create liquidity.

FWIW this is the historical weekly chart of crude futures. Probably due for a little pullback since today was a massive move, but long term it doesn't look lower to me.....

Id prob hold. A while ago i did say if it hits $120 again im getting out. But im rethinking that now because it came back so quickly.

Good stuff. Is it in your 401k? If so, research NUA. If it’s in IRA, start rebalancing now. If it’s non-qualified, consider hedging. If you don’t know any of this, you’re awesome at not knowing stuff, but call an advisor.

Yeah I would buy some put leaps to be safe.
Posted on 9/27/23 at 6:56 pm to Porkskins
With that many shares, I'd be selling covered calls into 125/130/135/140 strikes.

Exxon is the barometer for Energy. Reduce positions but never sellout.
Posted on 9/27/23 at 9:16 pm to Porkskins
I'd ladder some stop losses or trailing stop losses. Prices and quantities would depend on cost basis. I would want to protect some of this large position.

Take the dividend and ignore it. Recession is coming, these stocks will drop again, but for a short period. We haven't invested in oil, and it's gonna fricking hurt. They'll have all the money in a few years.

I have nearly that much, but inherited. Cost basis is very low. I am debating selling about 25% but the capital gains taxes would be 15% on most of it.
Also, the dividend is great. But about 3 years ago XOM was priced in the 30s.
I could pay my house off with the gains of selling 25%.
Any advice, thoughts?
