I started buying PLTR on the day of the direct listing late Sept. After a couple weeks, my average sheer buying was about $10.20. When it went up to $30s (1st time) and fell back down into the mid-$20s, I sold 50% of my position at $26. Then hit about $22.50 and I bought in again. When it hit $37 recently and fell to $31, I sold 50% again at $33. I recently added 25% of my existing quantity at $32 this year. Yeah, I made some money doing this but wouldn’t advise it if you really believe long-time in a stock for 2 reasons. 1). If I truly believe in staying LONG in a stock, there’s no reason to sell it for tax purposes with the current capital gains rules. I could’ve just added to my position on each major dip. 2). I also got burned in the past selling and buying, rinse and repeat. Not only did I lose out on getting the capital tax savings, I got burned by being forced to buy the stock at higher prices than I saw the at. This killed me with Disney and Tesla last year. Not only do I have to wait longer now for the stocks to be considered capital LONG, my avg-purchased per share is higher. I don’t consider myself a day trader or even a weekly trade. I want to buy and hold. If I wanna stay in a stock for short term, I now trade into call options especially since my max loss is cap'd. However, that’s what’s nice about the stock market with smart investing. There are multiple ways to make money (and lose).
