Since it is my IRA, I don't track gains or losses once sold. Definitely having the income as most important. Even so, I have worked TIS up to my largest position. Barring a hurricane, tornado, or fire, I expect good things over the next two years. Health insurance monthly cost next year will be $232. I expect changes will come after that, and if there is a means test like there always should have been, this would be a backup to two 20k CDs and our taxable account. Currently three years until medicare, and who knows there could be changes there. SS starting in March for me, which will also figure in. GME probably the closest thing to a "compelling story" I hold and if it was that compelling I wouldn't have sold all that I had a gain on. They have a history of running up to their Feb. earnings, but that is nothing to bet on. CMTL definitely didn't work out. SOHO just the opposite. I've had little time to look around, but winter has definitely set in and that always gives me more time for such things, if I can get my old bones to cooperate.
