Loading ...Time to take some substantial gains off the table with my PM stocks. So I take a 5 or 6 week Sabbatical. All possibilities lead to a down draft IMHO. With my minuscule portfolio showing some gains(nearly doubled), I am going to protect my assets. If I had followed this rule, I would have been quite a bit more affluent. Heck, I have capital losses on my income taxes for some time to come. I suspect many of you here do to. This buy and hold stuff is not cost efficient. Seeing the light (hopefully its not a freight train in a dark tunnel) for the first time I think, maybe . Well I have burnt my bridge anyway. Now I can avoid the markets for few weeks and just take a peek now and then. This may be market advice but DYODD.
