On April 30 (with WTI closing at $105.07/bbl.) I sold another 10% of my XOM shares @ $154.413 (up nicely from it mid-month low of $146.44). Plan is to continue selling next month.
Larry Sayler, I appreciate you reading my post. To do what I can, I just commented on an excellent article of yours "Somebody Has to Win" which has put it back on the home page.
When investing for the short term with funny money, investing in the most aggressive stocks makes the most sense and your methodology (the price-earnings ratio was a nice touch) makes a lot of sense.
Mark Crothers, Many of the people I spoke with that night understood it was some sort of scam and like myself were there purely to satisfy gastronomic needs. IRT the conversion rate, I have a feeling, that just one "investor" could do the trick.
Elaine, Above you asked why some writers were no longer posting. Well for me it is partially based on my posts not getting published, as the last three I've submitted only two were ever published. And both times they were published in such a way that they never appeared on the home page. For example, the post I submitted on April 25, was only published after I contacted Bogdan. In this specific case, as it was published with the date I submitted it (April 25) and not the date it was posted (April 27), it was never listed on the home page and therefore just slipped out the backdoor uncommented and unread. I spend a fair amount of time writing and editing my posts before submission . . . it's all very frustrating.
Ben Rodriguez, thanks for the kind words. Back in 2024 I wrote an article about my NUA journey. With XOM trading near all time highs, NUAing more of my low cost basis shares might make sense, though the current plan is to let it all ride, keeping my 401(k) and strategically selling XOM shares. Please feel free to ask specific questions here, or in my linked article.

Nick Politakis, Sorry, but I only trust the Turks and Dunkin’ to brew my coffee.

Skip Stock, I like the idea that I provide a public service.
