For folks who are really concerned about the bubble, it’s a no-brainer…free protection from major crash. I generally go 8% across the board. Seems like a good sweet spot…enough room for some fluctuation without constantly dumping, and having to re-purchase shares.

What about the whales that sell to trigger everyone’s stop losses then repurchase before you can. It’s a good strategy if you’re already retired, but for us working folks it’s ABB - always be buying

Literally never seen that happen… don’t believe whales have the time, or inclination to troll for small change, or worry about us minnows.

Actually made some good coin on my last stop loss sell off. Nvidia dropped, about 10%., I perused the data, and looked like it wasn’t anything close to a crash, went back in on all shares and am currently up 20% to date…. A 12% gain.


Also…what makes you believe I’m not a whale…






I’m not.😊

How much in cap gains when you first sold? Wouldn’t it have been more efficient to just stay in and not trigger a tax event?

Not if it’s in a retirement account.

No tax event. IRA…and zero funds left the account.

Not “this”…

IRA.

Also…not my first rodeo.

Ah got it, I wrongly assumed you were just trading through a brokerage account. Makes sense.
