    Yeah, anything with potential for massive swings, I'll just use a stop/stop limit/trailing stop or something. I bought MRVL back in the upper 20's, so I'm not worried about losing a buck or two per share. If I had bought it at $44 and wanted to sell it at $40 or something, I'd just sell now with a limit. What I don't want to have happen is sell something with a tight stop only to have it run right back up especially with the way some of these crappy stocks trade where they swing 10-20% in a day. On stuff like AAPL, NKE, etc. I don't even have a stop. I figure if those things drop 20-30%, I'll just buy more or something.

    On MRVL, I'm going to see how it trades tomorrow and we'll see. There are too many stocks that I have or would have traded out of them way too early and I hate trading in and out of stocks on a daily/weekly basis. lol.

    I got in at $35 and closed few days ago at $45. Like the company, but wanted to free up more funds for NET and SDGR.

    It's like when I drafted Travis Henry instead of Derrick Henry in fantasy football. Travis Henry was in jail at the time.

    I dress pretty coo. And I won @moestavern19's (RIP) fantasy league last year. I'm just not scared to reveal my blunders.

    I apologize for the tardiness of my reply, saitou.

    Not my intention to cause any anxiety. In fact, most of us are so hands on that it likely wouldn't be an issue.(probably, at this point, still a bit of a longshot anyway)

    Without going into specifics, there are actions being taken at the moment not being reported by any of the majors. Im just saying to keep a close eye on it just in case...not yet a foregone conclusion.


    God knows, there are opportunities every day, every way in the markets.
    Like I said, I have various reasons for taking a short break.

    Also, I want to be clear, this isn't about political leanings, although maybe I should mosey on over to the D&D to actually post sometimes. ( instead of lurking/ reading )

    OMT - Obviously, being at all time market highs, along with stimulus coming..well, this portends a really nice run into virgin territory.
    Maybe I just need to come to grips with my fear and desire. : )

    Either way, best of luck to all....I'll likely be back in today or Monday, but with eyes wide open...and a hair trigger if need be.

    dunno, seems like it's achieved cult status as the highest growth/highest multiple big cap stock? with my reduced position i'm just going to hodl what i have left. i still like the company/product, and i'm currently actually involved in a project that uses it, so i can see the traction. if i had a large position i'd probably reduce, but obviously i've made lots of bad calls in the past haha.
