Just stepped back into AMD (heavily) at the trough today.

Really hope there's legs before July when options expire. I've done really well with AMD the last couple years.

What a day :dance:

Hard part is I have NO earthly idea whether this was just a quick short squeeze and we're headed for a rebound or whether we're near where the bottom falls out.
For now I'm...

Hell, no gurus here anyway. We all know the bottom is going to drop out sometime in the near future.

Earlier this year I missed out on profits by sitting cash heavy. Just dove in a bit this Summer...

I'm largely cash (75%) but have a significant stake in AMD. Options are good to April.

I seem to do well with buying near the trough but my battle is always when to sell.

I think you're right about this one but am still wondering when the bottom is going to drop out in a big way.

I've been sitting sidelines for over 6 months cash heavy waiting for a good buy opp...

I'd be glad to be wrong, but I still think I got out at the right time. All my picks made me 10%ish in a 60 day period but I got out and they're now all down as much or more.

It may be a few more...

I might be a puss but I'm back to about 90% cash for a bit.
Not that I won't jump on the occasional opportunity here and there but I'm gonna sit on the sidelines for a few months to see where things...

That's been what we do as well but we're getting pretty concerned about when the big one is coming. We're certainly due for more than just a correction.

Been sitting sidelines for a few months but pulled some out for some options on LULU at $48.
Last 2 sales should trigger soon and I'll be back to 80% cash.

Hard to know when the bomb is coming...

Question of the damn decade right there. :yesnod:
I'm sitting mostly cash but have a few that are either long or should be affected little by the election.

The hardest part for me is timing the sale. I either hang on too long or don't buy a long enough window...

Short, risky and pricey option plays. My wife is the market genius in terms of timing the deals. I seem to have good hunches and/or dumb luck. :Jeff '79:

This past year, I played a few hunches along the way that paid off well.
I'm up about 125% YTD.
Sometimes just dumb luck I got out when I did.
