description: "$Eli Lilly(LLY.US)Context: Eli Lilly has had a strong run, gaining about 30% since March as investors remain optimistic about its diabetes and obesity drug business. The stock has also recently reached new highs.My trade: I closed my position last night after the strong rally. Rather than chase the stock higher, I’m happy to lock in the gains.Takeaway: I know Lilly remains a strong growth story but expectations are also high. Also, pharma stocks face risks from drug pricing pressure, competition, regulation, and the uncertainty of developing new treatments."

- **Fair_Lemon5303 · 2026-08-20T05:42:38.000Z**: you exited right into the high, it printed 1292 intraday. full exit or did you keep a runner?
  - **melph** (2026-08-20T05:54:15.000Z): I only have a very small position and have been wanting to close it when it reached 1200 plus. Finally closed it yesterday at 1269 and then watched it go up and up
  - **Captain Leo** (2026-08-27T02:33:44.000Z): Singling this out because you posted the exit that kept running afterwards, which is the version people quietly leave out. Owning the unflattering half rather than the victory lap is what earns trust
