GGLL and AMZU. Went long 1.5x etfs on GOOGL and AMZN when they were trading in the 80s and low 90s, taking profit now on the leveraged positions, but not selling actual GOOGL and AMZN shares

Tobacco stonks. The market is telling me something. I don't know what. Maybe it's yelling, tobacco stocks are cheap, maybe not?

Sold $PAYC yesterday AH after earnings were announced. Huge downwards guidance. Painful. Was a small position since I liked the company, but valuation was a stretch and needed growth to continue at good clip and it didn't.

What happened here? Was it missed growth expectation?

Yes, lousy guidance. Growth went from 22% to forecasted 10-12%. That growth is not enough to sustain the valuation.

 

Had a small position in this because I liked the company, but the valuation was high. No margin of safety in that one. Sold it when I skimmed the press release yesterday AH. That said, I will evaluate in a month after the wash sale period is over.

Sold off all of the preferred shares that I bought a few months back. These are short term gains but I have places I’m more excited to invest. Sold a big chunk of Vno preferred for a 40% gain in about half a year. Also sold agnc and Ritm preferreds for around 15-20% gains. 
 

This puts me back to 3% cash and off margin for the moment.

Trimmed ARES and sold out of pcyo. 

[Red Lion]

Trimmed GOOGL and exited BUR now that both were long term gains.

REY.MI and OUT. Both turned out alright.

 

Edit: Sold remainder of $JXN and trimmed NTDOY just a little bit.

$JXN turned out to be nice money maker.

Sold half of my BTI position today. I'm back to my cost average of $31 and it was bigger than I wanted as I bought heavily in the low $29s. 

[Dinar]

Sold my Nintendo (I was hedged the yen) and the 17% return including dividend was much better than the rest of my portfolio.

Santander Mexico… finally. This one was way more of a struggle than I expected. Long story short Santander took their Mexican subsidiary listing private, which gave shareholders the right, but not the obligation to sell their shares back to the bank within a 6 month window of the date they took it private. In the few days leading up to the delisting, the shares sold off hard, falling as much as 20% below the buyback price. I scooped up the majority of the trading volume in the final days, thinking this was a no brainer flip. Turns out it is way more complicated for a foreigner to sell shares than I expected. I needed to engage costly lawyers and a Mexican accountant, as well as wait for months to get my broker to actually follow through on the steps needed to take advantage of the buyback offer. In the end I sold the shares just days before the offer closed. A very nice profit, but an experience I never wish to repeat.

Last week I sold completely out of Netflix.

Trimmed a little SWBI in my retirement account.  I'll wait a full year to decide if I want to sell the shares in my taxable account. I think it's got long-term potential for compounding now that the new factory/headquarters is up and running and that capex is behind them, but I also think that a lot of the price appreciation in the past month is due to what's going on in Israel and fear/uncertainty/doubt about the current administration and gun control. 

 

Sold most most of the small position I had in VSTO.  It's still cheap but they are no longer doing a spinoff and they sold the part of the business that I was interested in, so the thesis changed. 

[Spekulatius]

Sold some $STNE in my IRA. Around a 45% gain on the few shares I bought weeks ago. Go figure. Wish they all did so well.

[dipod]

CSPs on BMY.
