I hope this doesn't come across too harsh. Thanks for posting all that, I just asked for context because we all read your posts. If our buys matter then so do our sells. I don't really care what you are buying on Tuesday if you are selling it on Thursday for a 3% gain and not telling us you're out. This is a DGI forum so whether you are day trading or investing is of some significance.
As far as 1-2 share trades not mattering, please allow me to very strongly disagree. I know with certainty a lot of the membership is doing exactly that because I chat with them offline. That's exactly how I started 30 years ago and it damn sure did matter when I partially retired 10 years earlier than most ever dream of. Rethink that thought because it comes off a little arrogant.
If you are holding 67 stocks and are up 28%+ YTD total port in a market that is down, that is nothing less than amazing. You should share your exits because you got it figured out better than most pro traders. We do that on the option thread chats for better or worse. It sucks to admit to a loss but we do it. Transparency is helpful.
