>>62121346A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Go look for the next opportunity.
>>62121346>took profit>still makes a demoralization thread
>>62121346Ha, sucker. Know that I will round trip AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES! Before I touch my never-expiring lottery ticket.
>>62121346Then I am happy for the people who come after me.Bought a stock at 18,60 and sold it for 30, good profit. It's at 50 now, good for them.
>>62121346It is NEVER wrong to take profits.
>>62121346The perfect is the enemy of the good. You did good, anon.
>>62121346It's not too late to fomo back in at the top.
>>62121346https://stocktwits.com/symbol/FLYsold this today, was happy with $40K profit,but then it gapped up into the 40s
>when you take a profita what?
>>62121346I closed a long on CAD futures at .7249 after Trump's last taco, because I got scared and said "that's enough profit". Right now CAD futures are at .7319. That's .0070 higher than my exit, $70 per contract higher.I'd be up several hundred more if I didn't close when I did. But I made a fine profit, and I'm looking at a lesson in exit strategy at the end of the day.There's always opportunities in the market. It's ok.
>>62121346Am I retard for stockpicking and just buying and holding indefinitely. I already roundtripped on gold and silver but I’m pretty much back above break even. For example, I bought the service now dip and I’m now up 10%. Why not hold it to previous ATH, no matter what? Why not hold it until I make 200%Should I just buy indexes if that’s my style?

It's ALWAYS wrong to take profits.The moment you get into the mind set of profit-taking, you are fundamentally playing a different game.You are playing a series of games of risk:reward you are mathematically guaranteed to lose if you do not have:A- A carefully constructed strategyB- A solid understanding of the potential P&L in every betThe former is extremely difficult for a retard like the dear reader, the latter is practically impossible to determine.And the reason you won't win this game:>https://x.com/0xMovez/status/2044876456153542785?s=20Play a different game. Own assets, and do not trade them. Because you don't know what you're doing.
>>62123402take the index pill, I’m nearly a millionaire just indexing like a Boglehead
>>62123402The reason it's called potential P&L is because you haven't actually gained anything. You don't have that money until you sell it and take profit.>>62123948This guy is a retard
>>62124019Probably a lot richer than you because I've abided by my own principle
