The one's that got away - Sort of.
#3
Sold an absolute pile of growth in fall 2018 because I was switching to DGI. Lot of companies where prices have really popped like AMD, NVDA, AMAT, etc.

But the cream of the crop is TWLO. I did a lot of short-term trading my first few months in the market in early to mid-2017. Was pretty successful with it. Three that were reliable for multiple trades were MU, GPRO and TWLO. MU was RSI-based and I traded around a long position. It was one I sold in late 2018. I called GPRO my 7-11 stock - buy over 11, sell when it dropped into the 7's. Rinse, wash, repeat - quit doing it when I quit doing that sort of trading.

Then there was TWLO. When I first got into the market in early 2017 it had a very nice price pattern working. Basically I'd buy in the low/mid 20's - thinking 23/24 range and sell in the low 30's. Did this maybe 3 times with nice returns about ever 6 weeks. Made my last sale at, I figure, around $31 and it never came back down. Even with the pullback, where is it today?

TWLO is also responsible for changing me from doing all-in/all-out to trading around a core position for a company I liked which I did with MU. I actually never did a whole lot of that but MU was so reliable - sell when the RSI topped 60, buy when it was under 40.
