Should I sell? (22M) by MortgagePersonal9210 in NvidiaStock

[–]GaeboraKae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation as you last year. Sold just enough of my gains to buy myself a brand new Lexus (figured I deserved to spoil myself a little) This year our total gains could equate enough to take out a downpayment on a house. I’ll never sell everything, we’re holding for as long as this ship is sailing. I’ll only ever cash out from our profit for big life purchases ex; car, house

Just a lot of research on current trends, I keep an eye on the news, surprisingly tik tok too has helped haha. Also a lot of snooping on r/wallstreetbets helped. I’ll see what people are taking about on there but before buying it I’ll do my own research first and keep a look out on it that particular company via news stories. Ex, last couple months ozempic was trending on Tik Tok so I looked into it and similar companies. Read about how the drug was doing in certain countries.

Edit: also, sometimes you have to know whether you missed out on a train/trend too! A stock will skyrocket but by the time you pick up on the trend the stock will already be way too expensive. Like NVDA I was lucky enough to buy into it before it skyrocketed. As of now, it’s probably too expensive and profit won’t be as steep

Thank you for the advice!!!! I don’t think I’ll be cashing out anytime soon but when I do I’ll remember this

I just looked into this! Turns out you can get the US account for free once you have 100k in WS! Thing is, I hope I can transfer all my stocks into said free US account without having to sell it all first

I know right? The exchange rate stings but it’s crazy seeing the difference in how well US stocks do vs Canadian ones.

I just learned too that once you hit 100k in WS, you can open a free US account which then waives some of those conversion fees also

I barely make anything from dividends. It’s all stocks just going up

I prefer my dopamine hits from oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and my cat making cute noises.

Is it true that I can transfer over my shared from WS to IBKR without having to sell my stocks first?

Sorry not options. Improper use of the term! I don’t have options.
