I have heard that before.
PS. Seriously, I need to get my stock AA down to 60% from its current value of 75%. However, I priced the strike price of my calls too high, and of my puts not low enough, so keep getting more puts assigned than calls. I am by nature a stock lover, so it influences my option trading. I like to buy stocks, and hate to sell them.
I will look to sell more stocks, I keep promising myself. Soon. Any day now, starting with semiconductor stocks which I am loaded with.
PPS. But it is my semiconductor shares that brought the whole portfolio up in the green today, compared to the market indices being in the red. It's hard to sell your winners. Very hard. And when you see that they are no longer winners, then it's too late. Stock picking is hard.
