You guys might have been better off waiting to sell your apple options. Apple is up $3 since close yesterday now.
These stocks like many others I recommend are intended to be held for awhile. If you try to overtrade them or call the top/bottom you generally get burned.
LOL, Wow, that is just an awful and embrassing excuse. I think you don't actually own any of the things you recommend.
I recommend many stocks and ETFs. I can't possibly own all of them all the time...I pick a few that I like the most. This was a trade. Once I find a suitable exit point I take my money and leave. Visa and MOS are investments.
