Flu, congrats on the AMD calls. I’d never have done that, I stay away from capital intensive competitive industries like that.
Closest thing was during the big recession I purchased SNDK for about 5 and was pleased when it went to 9 in a few months and I sold.
Four years later it hit 100, and was delisted when they were purchased for 76. I know that even if I had held on at 9, I would have sold at 11 or 15.
Might have happened again with UBER. After my profit on that short hit 25% I cut my position in half. And it has kept falling since. I am just not very good at holding onto big winners.
My favorite Vanguard funds are VWO and VYMI. I only went in a few weeks ago, so far slight outperformance of the benchmark VOO.
