It's SAVE to say it's going up

Me neither. I try to push them. If that doesn’t work, I pull them. Once in a while I can get this thing pointed to where I need it to go, but more often than not I have the FO do it.

I also bought in sub $9 and cashed out today at $17

It’s not that I think our stock won’t continue to rise, but I have a hunch it will sink a bit before it does. I’ll probably buy back in at some point with my original ante.

Either way, when you see a 100% gain it’s never a bad thing to sell. Few grand to offset my VIL last month.
This, kiddos, is why pilots don’t make good traders. Too emotional. Too many “I have a hunch” thoughts creating some sort of panic. The easy route has been to simply buy a beaten down stock and hold for more than a couple of weeks.
This is as she buts up against 20 (which is still a fantastic price). The economy is opening back up and people will travel. We should see the 30s later this year. Or you can try to guess the price based on a hunch and miss out on massive gains. I prefer to make triple digits versus single digits. Glta...

except every single professional investor doesnt take a single lump of cash, buy low and sell high, because one of two things will happen. The stock tanks or ya hold a nice take, but those that incrementally buy and sell are constantly reaveraging to stretch percentage gains to numbers higher than the charted line. If you're really confident in the stock, you should own calls.

Some of my best % gains were trading out of the money leaps. The biggest downside was not enough volume to sell when I wanted, but oh boy, the gains were addictive.

yeah volume is a big issue with options. I was bag holding julys on CZR since march, was trying to dump them, finally it popped upward and volume came back made a nice bit after being frustrated for two months. Also had july 22.50s for STOR sold at a loss. Itll prolly get there, (just got there) but so slow just regular market shares would've been a better play there. Wish I wouldve bought SAVE July 20 calls last week. Were going for 20 dollars a contract. Someone is making a lot of money right now. Anyway, big ask wall at 20.88 for SAVE. Appears market maker is working hard to keep the price from breaking through.

I made a 100% return on my money, what is panicked about that? Nothing emotional about realizing a gain and moving on to something else.

I unloaded enough of my shares to break even. Still have half of them in, so if it keeps going up I’ll be happy. If it tanks again then I’ll use the money I cashed out to buy more.
