RGDX-sold part. Sold the shares in my trading account this morning at $1.51, which amounts to 1/3 my total shares held. These shares were from $1.36 for +11%.

The other shares are in 401k at $1.51 per.

My wife and I are pulling a hunk of money out of our trading account starting today to remodel our (her) kitchen. (Will end up being about 20% of the trading account. So hard to do knowing it will take +25% to get that back.) Today's sale was in part to make sure there was enough free cash for this first withdrawal.

Been a tricky last month or two knowing this was coming. I've wanted so much to be extra aggressive trying to make enough to cover the amount so the hit wouldn't feel as bad, but knowing if I did and took big loss, or was trapped down in a stock I liked, it would be ugly needing to sell like that. And the hit would feel even worse.

You guys have helped a lot keeping me mentally focused on trading smart and just doing the best I can and chugging along. Afer all better to take the haircut and come away with something nice (not to mention a happy wife, which is always a bonus) then take the haircut with a bad trade.
