RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:48 cents is the 50 day moving average
This is very good perspective. Looking at a stock daily is like watching my garden vegetables every day. It is good to keep the future outlook in mind.
I too had the selling problem - bought Tesla pre-split at 220 and sold at 232. Then it went up to 2000 within like 8 months. Tons of the same scenario with different stocks.
I think it's a good reminder to look at the management team - are we confident they can execute? Is their revenue/earnings trending the right way? With an good acquisiton, the bottom line will be growing and we are in a very good sector with good social-political tailwinds. Plus, like another poster said, who wouldn't cash out (especially at Christmas time, end of year - they also may take profits here because they tax loss harvested somewhere else) when the stock triples in price in a couple of months. And there are always the shorters in play.
All good points to keep in mind for the long term investor.
