XRP brutal news

I’m curious what crypto shouldn’t be considered a security.

They seemingly pass the Howey test.

But maybe that just means it needs to be upgraded

I just dumped my remaining XRP and put it into LINK. Wish I had taken Scot-es advice to diversity into ETH and Litecoin as well months ago.

Link is and will continue to be the Beastmaster. #3 spot is wide open for the taking. Cardano making waves with new partnerships and Zilliqa is crushing!

Could be meaningless and it’s only limited to the US. Is the SEC just finding its annual whipping boy? KIN popping off on the news. I’m on Hbar and own some KIN. Crypto is anyone’s guess but bitcoin seems to be a blue chip investment

CLDR, get in before this thing moons, trust me.
I’ve seen the name for a while and always wondered why it’s so cheap. It still only trades at less than 6 x sales. Looks to have had a 5 month phase of building a base before recent breakout. Stocks that do that, like Shopify, generally have a larger breakout. Probably worth grabbing 100 or so and hope for a lot more out of this.

Anyone own LMND? I like the long term play of upsetting the old stodgy insurance industry, and it's a huge market, but don't know much about the company or its leaders.

Bitcoin has become everything it started out to not be. It is not accepted and used by banks, large corporations and looked to the government for regulation. It isn’t private/anonymous like people state. For some reason XRP is continually in the crosshairs even though they apparently are used by major institutions or supposed to be. I thought they settled this XRP stuff a few years ago?

Thanks again for everyone’s input. Is it just me or would other people be equally interested in what positions you are selling/trading?

Grabbed a little $MWK premarket. Has been a hot small cap stock only trading at 2 x sales. Worth a small investment in my opinion.

What's everyone's general rules when taking profits? This is probably what I struggle with the most (and the tax implications thereof.) For example, I probably should have sold QS after just 12 or 13 days since it was up nearly 100%, but I didn't and now I'm up (only) 78%.

Wondering how the 'Yard feels about DMYD. I'm not a huge fan of SPACs. But I really believe in this company's future - basically the big data behind online sports betting. Up 40% in 3.5 weeks - but as I said, SPACs scare me.

This is where I always struggle as well. I’ve had so many smaller stocks that if I’d just taken profits I’d be up a lot more but then others I took profits on or sold half or 2/3 like FUBO and they ran like crazy afterwards. If it’s a name you believe in I’d advocate selling maybe half the shares after a set profit amount you’re happy with. Let’s say you’re up $1000 and can still roll with the other half for example. Or if you have so much profit in a stock that you can take your investment out and just play with house money, that’s ideal.

Interesting thought and I like it. I tend to be an all or nothing type person and maybe that's a mistake. I can't think of a single time I didn't sell every share when I was ready. I do add to a total regularly, but I've never sold just some of my shares.
