To do or not to do?

    I'm rotating some from CONY to MARO. They track closely, so I have two options:

    Sell CONY now, take a loss, and buy MARO at today’s price

    Wait, sell CONY flat — but by then, MARO will likely be higher, and I’ll pay more for the same shares


    So the cost is the same either way — the loss just manifests as a higher average cost instead of showing up as a realized loss.

    > The question is: Do I take the loss now, or own the same position for more later?
     
  2. You're bouncing around chasing your own tail. You need to be more structured in your approach and understanding if you want a realistic chance of winning. Really winning and not just being a happy jackoff. Something to digest and think about.

    You must not have had a SL in place?

    (2008) Lambo... This is more of a philosophical than trading question.

    I don't use stops generally.... I certainly wouldn't use one on a dividend stock.

    You should flatten all your positions.

    Then stop trading for the next few years.

    Then go to desert and question yourself why you failed to press the BUY and SELL
    buttons in the correct sequence.



    CONY has moved massively from 30 TO 6

    MARO has moved massively from 50 TO 20


    Do not miss the boat.

    When there is no trading opportunity, don't trade.

    You guys are so dumb...look at the dividend adjusted chart. @Adam777

    And is nobody going to address the question or do none of you understand it? Lol

    When 2025 Lambo ?

    MARA has higher HV (94vs79) therefore higher option premiums / dividends.

    COIN is a proxy for crypro trading while MARA is a proxy for btc mining.

    Not asking about the difference in stocks or the difference in dividends...the difference in the math.

    Is the realized loss manifested regardless and thus irrelevant to the lateral move...much like selling and buying in the same real estate market.

    In other words isn't buying at a higher price the equivalent of a realized loss?

    Strange ....
    You already own hundreds of lambos

    yet you still ask us for advise.

    MARA is likely to underperform COIN

    So you better wait to BE and buy MARO later.

    Same for MARO / CONY
