Please tell me that means you sold some as a risk/allocation decision as the present value of your holdings (on an obviously risky position) now exceed what you wish to risk.Correct. ...I get so friggen tired of the "trading around a core position" crowd that I tend to puke when I read their posts. And otherwise some of them might think this is what you meant (which I seriously doubt).I never buy a stock merely as a “trade”, although I sometimes end up repurchasing shares that I previously sold.
