Dude I am a charter member of ENPH.  I made a few hundred a month the past year selling short puts while it ran.  I have a few short puts that are WAY in the money after this bloodbath.  I can only roll forward so much before I own $140 shares.     I said here many times I was good with adding a real position starting at $125.  If I am honest I need ENPH to head back to $120ish to be back to even.  I wasn;t aggressive enough when it was truly cheap.  I'll add shares to my growthy port in the meantime.

Yeah yeah. What ever floats your boat   lol

I am very good with owning ENPH long-term.  How happy I am in the end very much depends on the entry.  We'll see where the bottom is soon enough.

Well me too. Got in at $108.90 

This will be a big winner for years to come.  You have to add at some point, so why not today. I don't worry about making a few $ here and there  . I'm in to win it lol 

Are we having fun today

In the case of ORC, KMI, and BTI, the loss on ORC was somewhat sizeable (over $100) and I had zero confidence it would right the ship and even stabilize.  I used to own ORC when it was closer to 10; it's time to quit.  KMI and BTI were tiny losses.

That said, hopefully my gargantuan portfolio churn is coming to an end for 2021.  I don't even want to show you my transactions tab.  Thankfully when we do our taxes it can electronically download from E*Trade so I don't have to type all that stuff in.

I haven't researched it.  Hadn't heard of it until you and Otter were discussing it last week.  I am trying to not add too many more new names.  We'll see how long that lasts. 

What I need is for tech to get hammered for real again, but this market is resilient.

Very small trades this morning.  Added a few shares to DG-ARKF  Sold a few SLV puts.

I would really appreciate it if my fellow posters put their rationales here.  For instance, why sell out of TSM?  TDOC has been steadily rising since mid-May, why leave it?  Of course QCOM is great too.

TDOC has nothing that can't be replicated and if it is truly lucrative it will bring serious competition.  Nothing magical about it to command the PE.  First mover status won't be a MOAT this time.

I won't dump JNJ at a loss because it had a bad six weeks.  I try not to overthink this or allow fear and greed to drive my trades.  Good research minimizes the possibility of that.

How funny you did exactly the opposite! They are both good companies.
