Yes I did, 95 shares of KNSL and 50 shares of ABT for a very small profit, still have high cost lots of each. Rolled into INTU for full position in mid $290s and added to KRMN in low 49s. Now I need to unload all 80 shares of INTU between $302 all the way up to $310. There is always something to work on.
@WinnerInvestor@SayNoToTrading The more cash you have the easier it is to dial in and hit those bottoms. He has been doing this for years. He’s the cost basis beast!!!
@SayNoToTrading I might have already seen your posts regarding GWRE. I will look them up again. I use the search feature and ref a lot of your past posts on companies. You have created a library, thank you for that.
@justriding59@SayNoToTrading More illegal invaders means more uninsured drivers which causes vehicle insurance rates to go up. Bad for policy holders, good for shareholders. Sounds like a good reason to buy some more PGR on Monday. Might as well make some money off the problem.
@SayNoToTrading You can use your credit card for your SoCal Edison bill and they only charge a $2 flat fee. My annual bill is around $2500 so only getting $50 to $75 back in cash or rewards. Definitely helps get closer to spend requirement if you were to open a new card.
@SteveHiltonx No income tax/property taxes for Veterans period? Sounds too good to be true. More believable would be reduced property taxes for disabled Veterans on a sliding scale like Utah does. 10% disabled=40k off property tax exemption, 20%=80k, etc. It’s currently 100% or bust in CA.
@SayNoToTrading I’m sure there is something I could learn here. This is why I was thinking we might be stuck. I love those special dividends though. I know they are not guaranteed. I want a well balanced portfolio.
@SayNoToTrading Yes I sold April 7, sold at $197 now back in cheaper. I chalk that up to luck though. I felt like PGR might not move and is kind of stuck for the time being.
@SayNoToTrading@DGretta_Author That’s definitely been my experience. Only a couple I got right by selling near the top but others went on 3 to 10x that I sold early. It has not even been close. Painful regret that you just have to come to peace with.
@SayNoToTrading I’ll be selling my underwater shares of NOW on June 1st outside the wash sale window as well. I will realize $10 to 15k of losses to offset $40k+ of capital gains for this year.
@SayNoToTrading He accepted defeat, end the war. I enjoy a good cost basis war though from the sidelines. It gets me to reflect on my own holdings and cost basis.
@SayNoToTrading@pulte Since 2008, never explored other options just bought mutual funds and maxed Roth IRA. I just started buying individual stocks within the last few years. Trying to recover high cost lots via spec ID market order is frustrating. I just have to be more patient.
@SayNoToTrading@unusual_whales I guess I’m thankful that I get to participate and potentially get in at a lower price/have lower cost basis than a billionaire. Half glass full.
