It's a very beginner-level move: controlling greed and selling in batches when the price is high, controlling fear and buying in batches when the price is low.I've said it at least three or four times in the comments: selling high is to have more courage to buy when there's a big drop. For safety, I'm willing to sacrifice some potential gains. I don't know if anyone listened. Got lucky and hit a choppy market, and the day trading profits have been pretty good so far.Also, I've blocked quite a few people recently. The world feels much quieter, which is a way of ignoring market chatter. Oracle rebounded from the bottom at 135. Many familiar faces who bought the dip at low levels are already profitable and have gone quiet. Only those who were too scared to buy during the big drop and got trapped buying high are still whining.There are thousands of stocks in the US market. If some are surging, it means others are plunging. How can they all rise or fall together? If that were the case, making money would be as easy as drinking water. Each stock has its own rhythm. What you can do is either leave it or adapt to it.But most people are always looking at what's in their bowl (hoping for a big Oracle rebound) while eyeing what's in the pot (envying semiconductors and memory stocks hitting new highs). Just ask yourself: after selling Oracle, is there a suitable stock you'd dare to buy? That's your answer.Clearly timid, doing conservative and steady operations, yet fantasizing about bold and aggressive returns. Don't want to take on high risk but dream of high returns. We're all adults. You're responsible for your own investment gains and losses. It's understandable to vent a bit in the comments when you lose money, but constantly spewing negative emotions in a fit of impotent rage is really quite pathetic.Actually, a stock is like a mirror. When you're repeatedly calling it trash, have you ever thought that you might be calling yourself trash? Or maybe you're the one picking up trash? There's no inherently good or bad stock; it all depends on personal choice.Even the best stocks have people calling them trash, and the worst stocks have people praising them. In the end, it's all about where you're sitting. Any stock that makes you money is a good one; any that makes you lose money is trash, no matter how much it rose before.For example, $AXT(AXTI.US), a stock that would make SanDisk look like its grandson, has also been uniformly called trash in the comments lately, just because it corrected a mere dozen points from its high. They seem blind to the fact that AXTI skyrocketed from $1.1 to $134 in the past year, a gain of 11,758%..." datetime: "2026-05-22T14:19:37.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/41047053.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/41047053.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/41047053.md) author: "[退场](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/21015417.md)" --- # $Oracle(ORCL.US) has been using 1/3 of my position… ### Related Stocks - [ORCL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL.US.md) - [ORCL-D.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL-D.US.md) - [AXTI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AXTI.US.md) ## Comments (14) - **哀伤的财产 · 2026-05-22T15:45:03.000Z**: Bro, you're the T king. I'm not skilled enough to do T, I can only average down at low prices. - **退场** (2026-05-22T15:48:57.000Z): When you already have floating profits, giving up some chance of selling too early to do day trading (T) makes for a much better mindset. Most people become greedy and don't want to sell when the pric - **哀伤的财产** (2026-05-22T15:51:10.000Z): Don't dare to day trade, nine out of ten times you'll miss the move. I had Dell at a cost basis of 113.8, but I day-traded it away. Now I'm regretting it so much my guts are growing mold 😃 - **退场** (2026-05-22T15:53:55.000Z): Going all in on day trading is definitely easy to sell too early. I'll take 1/3 for day trading, so even if it rises, I only sell 1/3 too early, and still have 2/3 to enjoy the gains. If it falls, I'l - **apple宝贝 · 2026-05-22T15:17:02.000Z · 👍 1**: One's stock character reflects one's personal character. - **哀伤的财产** (2026-05-22T15:58:39.000Z): The only stock that doubled this year, just flew away like that. - **何处笙歌落 · 2026-05-22T14:55:30.000Z · 👍 1**: Envious of those who have IBKR, now I'm about to get squeezed to death. - **退场** (2026-05-22T15:00:47.000Z): Hahaha, the Iron Fist can actually manage a bit, last year they also banned account openings, let's take it one step at a time. - **日月安** (2026-05-24T04:05:06.000Z): It seems like all accounts opened with a mainland Chinese identity are starting to be tightened, and IBKR is no exception. I also just switched from Longbridge to IBKR two weeks ago, so we'll just hav - **LuckyBoy · 2026-05-22T14:52:39.000Z · 👍 1**: Bro, can IBKR still be opened? It was available before, but I didn't open it. So pissed off 😂 - **退场** (2026-05-22T15:01:06.000Z): It couldn't be opened in the second half of last year. - **中环-林志** (2026-05-22T17:21:02.000Z): Okay - **LuckyBoy** (2026-05-22T17:26:14.000Z): How to open
