Was the conference call after market hours? Interesting to see what tomorrow holds. Clay does some decent TA, and I noticed he bought on the low point on the 12th. All I saw was heavy down days on really high volume, but he thought the candle for that day was capitulation, and I guess put in a buy with a tight stop loss. Hopefully, it'll explode for you guys.
Lol, hey LT, you always undersell the moves on this guy... slow and steady, that's a freakin' blast off. I'll pipe in this once though, considering it's 1000% gain from the first rally's consolidation level, I'd be more inclined to do some selling, rather than buying. Today's candle suggests exhaustion. I'm sure it'll waver here and there for a couple of days if it reverses tomorrow, but make sure you come out with some coin on this one. Just my 2 cents.
Man, the best thing is to do whatever makes you sleep at night. I figured since 2008, I'd rather not see my accounts bleed day in and day out, so when the bull rallies lose steam, I can take a break.
I actually sold all my blue dog siri, longest I've held a stock in quite a while... was coming up on a year, but that number I kept throwing out, 1.08, was where I took it. I had no clue of the last earnings report at the time, had I, I would have been inclined to get out the night before... anyway, I sold everything in my IRA a little bit ago, and it's nice seeing it stay the same balance while the stuff I was trading has been taking a beating.
So, there's nothing wrong with cutting a little if you want to hold on to what you got.
Put it this way... you won't lose more on whatever you cut out - sure there's the argument that cash won't hold value, but I don't like seeing an account drop 10-20% either.
Now sure you won't gain more on what you cut out, but you won't lose more. It's normal trader psychology to play with losses and ensure profits... which means that people will cut their gains early to keep them, and let losses run wild hoping they'll again become profits.
Only you can decide what you want to do, but lets jsut say siri were to run to 0.70, which I think would kind of be a worst case scenario pull back during some market tankage, how much would you cut from your holdings to make that easier on the gut? If you do have profits, nothing wrong with taking some.
Regarding real estate - I have no friggin' idea, you're talking to a guy that is a postdoc in an expensive area, so that's never even been in my consideration... but I can tell you I wouldn't mind owning something tangible.
If all hell breaks lose, I wouldn't mind owning a bunch of little old toyota pickups that don't break down, I figure I could sell them one by one, lol.
just a market pic, and noting where the last "ban on short selling" was, again brought up by a very good market technician I follow. I also noted the resistance line, so it's kind of obvious why techies would turn around there.
Anyway, though the ban is in germany this time, you can see the effect it had here, or what it did to help a process already in place.
Interesting to see what happens.
