This month's largest profit taking.

183960195 : The timing of profit-taking in MSTR is excellent. I have a question, while BTC is rising, is there no rebound in MSTR? What are your thoughts on this?

★ちゃお 183960195 : Tonight, I hope it bounces from the dead cat bounce to the resistance and doesn't just fall Sorry for being an outsider

おねご OP 183960195 : Yes, as Chao-san mentioned, there may be a return after a large bearish candle... but it's probably too volatile and difficult, so I won't get involved anymore. $Super Micro Computer (SMCI.US)$ After the sharp drop in February, it fluctuated and it was the right choice not to touch it after the big bearish candle. $Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ Even though it may seem to be rising... I believe that Bitcoin has already risen too much and incorporated all of 0.1 million dollars.

183960195 : Chao-san, Onego-san
Thank you for your response. I understand the points that the stock price is inclusive of BTC rise, and the need to see how things develop after the dead cat bounce. It was educational for me as a novice.

HARE12 : I'm a beginner who got caught up in the festival mood. Please tell me when is the best time to escape from today to next week. I'm scared. Also, even if I miss the opportunity to escape, will it eventually turn into a profit if I just hold on?

おねご OP HARE12 : Wow, that sounds difficult.
Unfortunately, I have no idea whether it will go up or down. If it were me, I would cut my losses and withdraw if I thought I had failed. Since these are stocks that have soared so much, there is a possibility of a further sharp decline, and I definitely want to avoid further losses. Holding on at this point is like gambling blindly, so I would cut my losses and make up for them with other stocks. It might go up after withdrawing... I may regret it at that time, but I can make up for it with other stocks.
I have written what I would do. The amount to hold and individual decisions may vary, so please use this as a reference.

HARE12 : Is that so? I put 10 shares in a specific account for the first time in individual stocks. Planning to average down, I added 2 more shares when it dropped The acquisition amount is now 480. I think it may seem small to experts, but for beginners, cutting losses would involve a significant amount... Should I wait for recovery from the end of the year to next spring or should I be brave and cut losses now, is cutting losses the right decision? How would you handle this amount if you were an expert?

おねご OP HARE12 : No, I think owning 10 shares is considered a large amount of money.
The decision to buy depends on the assumptions made. Probably, it was purchased with the expectation of short-term price increase. If it was bought with the intention of holding it for the long term from the beginning, then it is okay to hold it no matter what happens. However, it is not advisable to switch to the strategy of waiting for recovery in the long term if the initial goal was short-term profit because 'short-term prospects are not promising, so let's wait for recovery in the long term.' There's even a possibility, like with SMCI, of a long-term decline. Additionally, since you mentioned words like 'large amount of money' and 'scary,' it doesn't seem feasible to hold for the long term. To hold in the long term, it can only be accomplished with a small position size that you won't get bothered by price drops.
If it's difficult to cut losses, it might be helpful to try clever strategies like cutting only half first.

HARE12 おねご OP : Yes, I happened to come across a lively bulletin board and without studying anything about the company, I entered at a high price with the hope of increasing next year's NISA portion in a week or so. I am very foolish Thank you for kindly teaching me. I will reduce my holding stocks by half and also reduce my heartache by half. Thank you very much indeed. Onegosan, please continue to do your best We're rooting for you.

大負けネコ(HYPER) : Good evening.

I felt a bit precarious while reading the interaction between you and the person above from a sideways and objective perspective, so please take it lightly.

In terms of "Onego-san's" view, I think it is a simple and accurate perspective to uphold my own "rules in investment". Therefore, I have no intention of denying his opinion.

However, what made me feel precarious when reading was the feeling that you are somewhat "blindly believing in the opinions of Onego-san, a pioneer in US stocks trading" (=if it's just paranoia, then it's fine).

Regardless of the trading between Japan and the US, I have my own rules that I run. It is the point where the perspective of the "common sense of responsibility in investment" that "investment is a self-responsible world" is missing.

When the information at hand is ambiguous or unclear, it is essential to diligently collect and analyze information from as many different sources as possible, not just from online information or "moo's bulletin board".

Instead of easily depending on the opinions of others unknown, it is important to develop skills to gain experience and knowledge on your own, right? At least, while increasing my experience value from past Lehman to this year's Black Monday, I am constantly spending time and money on improving these extremely basic investment skills and updating various skills every day.

Well, since investing is a matter of self-responsibility, you are free to choose any investment style, right? It's just a meddling perspective from an old lady's caring heart.

Apologies for the long and rambling comment. Well, let's do our best.
