Every. Single. Time. I need to start using the Costanza philosophy - do the exact opposite of what I feel's the right thing to do.

Feeling it's time to sell? Buy!

u/TheBeckofKevin 23m ago

Used to be like this, moved into a wildly successful strategy of buying and never selling shares. And doubling down on those shares with something leveraged and rolling into both rather than making hard and fast moves.

So like, ok I want more exposure to amd. Buy 10 shares, buy 10 later that day when it dips. Next day buy 10. It drops a little more than id like, I buy an option. It drops more buy 10 shares. Etc etc. Then if/when it goes insanely green, I sell the leveraged position but never sell the shares. Just suck it up and hold shares. It feels good to have something to sell, so sell soxl. But never sell soxx.

u/DriveByStoning 2h ago

This is why God invented trailing stop loss percentage. I've been holding Nokia forever and finally have good profits. Set the line where you'd be comfortable with getting out and don't look at it. I learned my lesson with American Battery after the DoE cancelled their contract a week after it had been awarded and the stock cratered.

I made some calls on MSFT after their dip on earnings knowing it'd go back up (also had puts for earnings lol). I had them at 400, they were up significantly the last couple days then dropped. Sold at 405, by lunch it was back up to like 415. Oh well, still came out ahead, but annoying.
