RE:Guys, the $50 covered call options are now availableGreat post Doobie! I wasn't mentioned but joined summer 2016 just before things were about to heatup. I recognize many of those names from when I first joined and considered them the really early adopters, the old timers. 'Long and strong!' was the battle cry of the day. It was sad to see good contributor's go, but one by one, quite a few left, with only a few remaining.
But here we are, extremely exiting times to say the least. I don't know about others, but I'm thinking about my stocks more than ever. Who couldn't with the action going on. This can sometimes put you on tilt and you can talk yourself right out of a play. Your rationale for exiting might have merit, but it could also be an underlying psychological response to get yourself out of stressful situation. Yes gains can be stressful, as a fear of 'losing it all' can grow. Selling can bring closure. It's over. You're out. It's final.
Meanwhile you'll probably start thinking about re-entering. Or maybe I'm talking about myself there, lol. I know I'm wrestling with those issues...
But then I remember what is going on. About what is happening and what is about to happen.
Then I get over those feelings and remember why I came here in the first place.
Long and strong!
