Today, I sold it all at my cost basis of 201. It's almost one of the stocks I've held the longest. I know it's a good company and a good stock, and it might even reach 300 in less than two or three months, but I still decided to clear my position.I will also continue to liquidate other individual stocks, replacing them all with broad market index ETFs and sector ETFs.I probably won't buy many individual stocks in the future, only purchasing ETFs and keeping 20%→50% cash based on market valuations.Since reading some investment books, I've increasingly felt I'm not very good at this. I think the only way I can make money is through macro awareness. For example: if I'm bullish on the US, I buy QQQ; if I'm bullish on Japan, I buy the Nikkei index; the big five; if I'm bullish on India, I buy an India ETF, etc.Here's something funny: another account that I don't touch at all, which I call my "old man account," has actually outperformed the Nasdaq for two consecutive years.

Just because others made money buying this doesn't mean you will. I also recently experienced a huge loss; it's time to re-examine myself. - **SUNQ · 2026-02-17T17:12:11.000Z · 👍 1**: Congratulations, I won't touch this thing even after breaking even.
