I do not post on Saul’s forum but am a big fan.
I am just wondering how he is doing.
Wpr101 has helped me allot since Saul stopped posting his end of the month holdings and reasons.
I keep telling myself to put on trailing stops (-6%) when I am doing really well. I keep ignoring my own advice.
My YTD etc?
I hit 80% and moved 20% into stable fund in my 457c where my fun money lives (I think it is a 457, I can trade in a Charles Schwab account inside my 457).
That put me at 60% Ytd which would have still been enough to stick trailing stops on. But no.
So after selling everything on some bad days that we recently have experienced, I then bought back in selectively if the stock was green and heading uphill on my iPhone stock app.
Hitting 22% bottom and now at 30% ytd puts me at 50% ytd when added to the 20% I moved to stable fund.
Trailing stops would probably have me at 60%-70% ytd. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whoever mentioned that trailing stops were only useful after big gains was correct. Big Shout Out to them.
