Stops are risky if it spikes down past them, they won't fill. If you have enough shares, maybe buy some puts to hedge instead

THis is not true unless you used a stop limit. Obviously if it gaps you will get a price worse than your stop but it does indeed fill

Correct I am not using a limit order, its a stop loss order. And with the amount of money I have made on this, liquidating at whatever current market prices rather than not filling the order at all is much more desirable to me. I don't really care if the entire order fills at $48 or if only half does and the other half fills at $45.

I'll just keep readjusting my stops on PLTR and let it run

I don’t have a dog in this but this seems extremely reasonable. Readjust stops daily if you’re at the point where you’re that worried about not selling at the right time.

You can probably set a trailing stop that you won't have to adjust.

"Vanguard does not support conditional orders or trailing stops, and they do not allow you to stage orders for later entry."

I should just move to Fidelity but I'm lazy.

I was with vanguard for almost 20 years and haven't regretted leaving for Fidelity one bit. Highly recommend.

Macro predictions:
Equities will do well for a while (10-15 months) before tapering off.
Bond rates will go a little higher then come down pretty quickly.
BTC backed assets will start overperforming around the same point that equities start underperforming.

Sold my 120 PLTR shares. I'm not trying to time the market perfectly.

I feel like now is a good time to just admit I should've bought MSTR a long time ago.
