I know I know dumb dumb. Just got a little excited today. HAL was a core position I bought awhile back and promised myself I wouldn't sell for at least a couple of years or until it broke an all time high. Cause in my mind if you are bullish on the OSX you have to own HAL. And I am bullish the OSX.

It is like being bullish the semi equipment makers and not owning AMAT just stupid in my opinion. Well anyway realized what I did, while watching it run away from me so I got back in with my core position. Thankfully it is in an IRA so no tax consequences...If I am going to trade HAL need to use my trading funds not my core funds. Just my own rules that I are written down and tacked on my wall. I made the same mistake with AMAT back in December, bought it in Sept or Oct for 25 and sold it at 40 only to watch it take off and never look back. Just didn't want to repeat that mistake. That said HAL can now drop 5 points tomorrow. Actually wouldn't mind if it did, give me a chance to enter a trading position...
