Great right? Not really. You are making your comments when the stock is 55.00+ so I have certainly an opportunity to realize a 4500.00 gain and if I let it drop to 1000.00 what’s the difference? $3500.00. That’s the true math and to fool yourself by saying well heck at least you’ve double your money just shows you are terrible at math and don’t understand what you had before you coughed it up
Let me know if your “almost” minor in math enables you to comprehend what I’m saying
*sigh*.
Look, you, I was stating that as an example, such that, let's say that in AH and PM the stock nose dives and I don't do anything about it, because I'm not up when the market opens (I live in CA). Or I'm not watching the stock because I'm doing something else that demands all my attention. Then what? That's when a stop-loss comes into play. And I'm not on Robinhood or something with phone alerts -- I deal with a real brokerage (Sierbert). Furthermore, my point was that, even if the stock takes a nose dive, I walk away with money. Get it now?

Sorry but there’s no reason to believe your comments were about after hours trading. Even if it was it’s still nonsense and ignores what’s actually happenin. Downplaying it by saying “well you are still up 100%” is silly at best
Which Omega? I hope not a Speedmaster -- every other pic I see on horology forums is of a Speedmaster. Makes me want to get a Lunar Pilot just to be different.
Yes. It is a Speedmaster. lol I loved the Apollo 13 movie and have been interested in astronomy since a kid.
I covered at $45.99 not as much as I would have like to make but pretty good for a week. Next week I have a vac with wife and didn't want to be looking at the trading every minute.
That's a nice watch. I have a "sapphire sandwich" that I bought around the time we invested in SpaceX. If and when SpaceX goes public, I'm planning on purchasing a steel Calibre 321.
