Economy stonks v24, snakes in the ukraine

$VRTX over $290. To think when I decided to go balls deep on it, I figured I could get to $220 and cash out for a 15% gain in about 3 months.
Flipping the bail on it was a good decision. Sometimes it is a bad decision, but this time it worked.

I usually, do but it has been green 15 out of the last 16 days(or close to it). I keep raising my sell price. Now that is 290 I upped my sell price to 275, for unloading some shares.

why not sell some at 290?

It has been a steady gainer, I think 3 hundo is in play. Also it has been a steady climb, no giant gains in the last 3 months. Those are the best kind, if it was some big jump then unload and buy back, but like I said its been a slow steady climber, which is what I like.
When I do sell, I am currently looking for a dividend heavy stock to dump it into? Have done minimal research yet, and leaning to a High Dividend Yield EFT, instead of an actual stock. My mutual funds are with Vanguard, I know they have a High Dividend Yield EFT, but like I said not researched too much. I just want somewhere to park my money, until this market settles, but still generate some income.
Market is going to be erratic until inflation comes down.
 
I originally was going to sell at 220. I keep upping my stop price. I just bumped it up to 275. I keep moving it up as the stock moves up. That way if I am on the road, and if it drops to 275 it triggers a sell.
I agree that sentence was convoluted.
 
lol that VERU trash is up 40% today and 17% after hrs. Must be coming on Cramer? Sadly no shares avail to short so I can't ride the inevitable tank.
 
Damn that was a helluva rally today. Closed short dated PUT's before it got to ugly, figured market was looking kinda strong so took a few small L's on options. My only regret was not holding onto my REI calls for long enough today.

I'll hold on to these LCID shares for now. I think it'll spike a little. I'd welcome another moon 2moro to bank on these swing trades.

Yeah I ended up even on the day; thought we had hit a technical top on EQT with an RSI way overbought, but it stayed up so that lost me some money but generally pleased with that outcome given i'd been heavy short the last few days to help myself reach some personal ATHs which felt nice.
One I missed that i'd been in-out on for that last week as a buy was DNA that ran 11% on the commons.
I'm going to try to mix longs and shorts around here.

lol fuck found some shares avail and it was up, tried to research and it circuit breaker halt falls without me hahaha
 
legged slowly then heavily into a short on HPK lol. Up 18% after an up 33% day on a no-new news oil play seemed just too absurd.

I guess they offered a tiny ass dividend.
Former SPAC @ 34.75. Only a fraction of my order filled tho before my scalp hit =[[[[

Market is down more than volatility which is interesting
 
pton halted on some price cuts and sub fee increases (up)
 
tsm beats on rev, eps, guidance... is red

hpc up 26%, hpc stocks... red

phones up 1%, aapl less red than hpc
 
lmao CNBC leads their 1pm est changeover with "Twitter is now lower!" right as it's spiked up 2.5 percent lol
