Bought in 1/2011, Sold in May, repurchased today

Following up on a post I made about 8 years ago here:

Bought in 1/2011 for about $45 / share (adjusting for 7-1 split in 2014)
Sold in 5/2018 for about $186
Bought this morning for about $168

Sure, I coulda made more if I sold in August rather than May and bought at the open today rather than three hours in, but sometimes it helps to size the market up, and either way I more than quadrupled my money when I sold in May (plus all the dividends and coin I made writing unexercised calls along the way), and got to pocket about %10 of the value when I repurchased the same number of shares today.

Note that I also sold more in May writing calls that got taken out a couple months ago for (effectively) $195. I'm alert for opportunities to re-accumulate those shares, too.
