    I bought EAT end of day yesterday. It was up 43% on what I paid by 11am this morning! Should I have just sold right away? Now it's still up 36%, but I feel like I missed the peak. I'm too new at this to get timing. Can't decide whether to wait for a late day surge or just sell.

    When in doubt, sell. You should always have a plan going in though.

    Thanks! Plan was sell when it's up 50% but that was a 4-6 month plan. It went up 43% in a day. That threw me.

    So gilead did a 180reversal from last week on their drug. It sounds like trump is pushing pr firms to post positive news even if it isn’t really positive. I mean their drug has a higher death rate when used than placebo and they were cherry picking the patients for the report. People that most likely would have recovered anyway statistically without the drug.

    Now the NASDAQ is down less than 1% YTD :p With the FED going all in for QE, it seems like the market revisiting the March lows is pretty unlikely now

    Update: I held out and sold at 40%. Can't believe my first stock sale I've ever made is buy Chilis and sell it 24hours late for 40% profit. I assume it's all downhill from there?

    What just boggles my mind is that for 20 years the government has had zero dollars for social concepts like education, student loans, environmental tech, etc.. yet in 3 weeks they printed trillions to help keep business from going bust. Nobody even bats an eye at it too.

    Yep, that’s how they get you hooked. Just like the first time you go to the casino you will win big.
