PS I got rid of all my rare earths at the open. That money funded other purchases.

Cutting losses doesn't raise my cash much because I cut fast and deep.
I took a lot of profits because the market looks shaky, but I am not sure if I did the right thing.

A few days ago I predicted rare earths were done climbing for now and sold all my shares nearly at the top. That was a comfortable read.

Today's reading is uncomfortable because I am not basing it on reading my stocks but based on my read of the general market.

...

I just looked at the rare earths and I sold at the top and now they are down 50+% in two weeks. Wow! Why didn't I short them?

The general market read panned out not too badly either.

I still don't see what the market may rotate into.
