I did right before it turned to $30. Last I saw it was up to over $34 but recently went down a bit after earnings.
AFAIK @zinfamous still has his.
welp, hit my $35 sell order today. I checked this morning to confirm, and this was the last day of my 60 day maximum sell order through Vanguard, haha. So, sold off half my shares for 380% profit on original purchase of 100% of shares. Pretty good I guess. So far has gone up to $3.55, so I definitely missed some additional monies. Oh well.
Now just riding the other half to the moon, because why not?
I figured you sold off when I saw the price. Congrats on holding out.
I'm gonna pocket my extra cash for now and hold on until I feel like nothing but solid gains are on the horizon. Unlike previously I have another mortgage to pay down, it was nice for the couple yeras where I didn't and had more fun money.
Wouldn't hang on to the other half for too long though, AMD/Intel is just one of those industries where each keep winning over the other and then the other one wins, rinse/repeat.
Yeah, I might just set another sell at 45 or something...I don't really expect that, though.
But I basically have to stop myself from any kind of additional sell before the year ends, because any more income would put me above threshold for claiming 50% county property tax rebate. ....so it would be like taking whatever money I earn off of the sale and giving it straight back to the county...that's a lot of lost monies. I'm kinda worried that this sale will actually have hurt me come April. I'm in that grey area where I stand to lose a lot--basically everything on such a sale--because I'm on the threshold of rebates and such, lol.
Oh well.
wtf kind of jurisdiction gives a 50% property tax rebate based on income? And they count LTCG as part of your income?
Uh, a whole lot of them, actually? You live in the clouds though, and probably don't appreciate how most people live on their modest incomes. (for me it isn't exactly 50%, it's based on the "amount below maximum qualified.") My current waiver is probably kind of modest comparatively, but it ends up being close to that. ...also probably explains why this county is falling apart everywhere and sinking into massive potholes, lol.
As for the second part, I don't know because I've never sold individual stocks before. This was the first, and probably only purchase for me...so maybe 2 total sells from that? Not sure. Maybe at some point later in life when I'm bored or, at least, not super-impoverished. So I'm not sure how I will have to report this to the Feds and what the state and county consider it as income--I assume LTCG is income is income is income, it's just its own tax rate. Regardless, I have to report all income as income, no?
Depends. Depends. Depends. I wouldn't presume LTCG has to be reported, so I would check first.
Either way, I guess I'm not used to property taxes based on income. Here in TX all we have is a homestead exemption - which basically cuts a little off the top if you're using your home to live in and not as a 2nd home, investment home, etc.
The 10-year T-bill yield has inverted to lower than the 2-year yield. Some believe this is a 100% recession risk in 18 months.

so Trump wants the stock market propped up so he picks a Fed Chair to do that by manipulating interest rates at the cost of America's future.Of course the problem is that it's inverting because the Fed is cutting rates to keep the stock market juiced and not any economic reason.
I do think we are headed to zero.
so Trump wants the stock market propped up so he picks a Fed Chair to do that by manipulating interest rates at the cost of America's future.
but why are the other 5 members of the Fed Reserve not appointed by Trump going along with this stupid plan? (Vice chair was also appointed by Trump, I think?)
Id pretty much say Hong Kong is about as "out of control" as it can be. Sure, it could be worse. But now the Communists must retore order ....which hopefully will be done as peacefully as possible.
It would be like Los Angeles deciding it is now a seperate socialist state and demands its independence. The Marines would eventually have to step in and "bring order" to LA. Remember the Rodney King riots of the early 90's? I do. And those were bad days indeed. I remember a story of one person who tried ram a military checkpoint during that time and was obliterated by the military.
With all that being said, I pray for a peaceful resolution.
FelixDeCat! Talk about a blast from the past. Stumbled on to ATOT again after a 10 year gap - still some familiar faces

(Reuters) - Walmart Inc (N:WMT) on Tuesday sued Tesla Inc (O:TSLA), accusing it of "widespread negligence" that led to repeated fires of its solar systems and asking a court to force Tesla to remove solar panels from more than 240 of its U.S. stores.
Solar energy systems installed and maintained by the electric car maker were responsible for fires at seven locations, with dozens showing hazardous problems such as loose wiring and "hot spots" on panels, according to court papers filed in New York State Supreme Court.
Tesla did not respond to a request for comment.
The lawsuit accuses Tesla of having untrained workers putting up shoddy installations and showing "utter incompetence or callousness, or both," court papers said.
The lawsuit is the latest blow to Tesla's struggling solar business, which it acquired through its $2.6 billion purchase of SolarCity in 2016. Quarterly installations have plummeted more than 85 percent since the deal, as Tesla has cut its solar panel sales force and ended a distribution deal with Home Depot Inc (N:HD).
The fires destroyed significant amounts of store merchandise and required substantial repairs, totaling millions of dollars in losses, Walmart said in the lawsuit.
In addition, inspections of the retailer's other Tesla-owned solar installations "displayed troubling problems that were indicative of widespread negligence," the lawsuit said.
As of November 2018, at least seven Walmart stores, including in Denton, Maryland and Beavercreek, Ohio, had experienced fires due to Tesla's solar systems, according to the lawsuit. One of the fires happened months after the system was de-energized, Walmart said.
