I also took a new position in PXD thanks to the secondary at $153

I needed to add another name in the sector to go along with CVX and EOG

now the only other sector I'm underweight in is leisure 

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

I got a kick out of #7:

7. Monitor Your Portfolio
There's no need to obsess over every movement of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Instead, check your portfolio once a year. Rebalance your asset allocation to keep on track with your plan.


Ha!  I don't think any of us would take that advice.

Tough to jump in on these tiny tech pullbacks that last a day.

I wont be buying any tech for a long. long time. No reason to. I have very few names I hold. Valuations are at extreme levels even when I sold. And that was weeks ago lol . Every Dick, Tom and Harry buy nothing but tech and all they keep saying is were going much, much higher. That may be the case. But it can turn on a dime. 

What ever happened to buy low. Not buy high and expect higher 

I wont chase tech. I don't care if it rallied another 1000 points from here. I'm not biting or playing that game.

There are a lot of names I like and have pulled backed to levels I can at least take a stab at, and not one is a tech name. 

Even AMZN is up $100 today on JB retiring

Buy low and sell high is an antiquated Boomer strategy.      Seriously that is the way it has seemed for a couple years now.  I've added a little tech here and there the past six months.  Wish I was in another 5% of my port but it will have to do.  Chasing has rarely worked out for me if I intended to hold for more than a week or so.  Something will be on sale soon enough.  There is always a bull market somewhere as cousin Jimmy says every day lol.   That's a true enough statement.

That is the only strategy that works over the long haul. Chasing has always gotten me in trouble over the years. I know better now 

CAT is getting interesting. I understand I should have bought more at $80 a few years back, but at least you got a significant pullback from the highs lol
