No worries. I only do it within my 401k and Roth. Would never do it on a taxable account.
I sold a ton of stock on Mondays close.

In taxable accounts anything held less than a year is short term and taxed at normal rates. Anything longer than a year is long term and is taxed at a lower rate.

Lots of buying opportunities right now. If I wasn’t so damn cash poor because of my kids school costs I’d sell my Carmel home and put the proceeds into the market. I’d probably put it in some kinda fund and let it compound. The older I get the less I want to own my home. Even if the market conservatively earns 5% year over year I think that would exceed the value of my real estate. Am I wrong? It’s def a question I would ask my advisor if I was in position to make a move.
Unless you're going to live in a van, you've gotta live somewhere and that's gonna be a cost.
Buy high and sell low. It takes care of tax issues.
I considered that as well. Makes more sense when I’m ready to downsize. I don’t really love the idea of renting, but if compounding interest exceeds my housing cost I would consider that option. I don’t really want another mortgage either so I could consider paying cash unless that makes me cash poor again.
Sell 2 winners and 1 loser. Don't waist the cash and always have a watch list.
What if you don’t have any winners? 😁 I was joking with Mark. Also, my watchlist consists of only one asset.
Two weeks in and I am still ahead with dry power to buy. I didn't sell every position rather the ones at risk. Trump is looser.
In this thread I have been told to "piss off", "Move to Haiti", "move to Ukraine". Been called a pig. Had a grammar correction, told my fried is smarter than me, and told to go cry to the Capper you commie. This is no going to end well. The empior has no clothes.
Oh I haven't forgotten... It's got me the last several years because I've been converting my IRAs to Roth IRAs.
Market if flying today and I bought up some great bargains the last week. Thanks for unloading your shares.
You have no idea how this works. Market still down from highs. Tell me again about your 700 percent gain Mr Aldi.
How do you like me now. Just waiting on what I should buy.
How many times has the market been down from a high point? Many. 10 years from now market will likely be at another all time high.
Don't disagree at all. This goes way back with Bailey. He keeps talking about this big stock gain post COVID of 700 percent, but won't share the ticker.
Yesterday it was a biotech play up big after hours for him. I shared my main biotech play (AVXL) with him as I'm transparent. It may work out or it won't. Biotech is binary like that.
I'll leave Bailey alone going forward.
I wonder if we are in a 1930's moment. My Grandfather went to U of Illinois in the fall of 29 at age 18. He never recovered his dreams.
