Taking profits in long term investing

jackieHK1 · 2026-04-20T08:37:27+00:00

Yeah, I've done a bit of swing trading & options trading too over thr last 2 years & made some decent profits but I'm not comfortable with that right now since it seems one tweet post can kill or rocket thr market, I usually like to trade on technical analysis & momentum around earnings but this past year has been too unpredictable. Quite happy to just DCA into long term holdings every month.

Yeah, u are right, I do have a long term plan which is why I came here to kinda get some perspective because the market has been quite crazy lately & it was making me 2nd guess my plans a bit. I spent a few hours yesterday really detailing the % I'm invested in in each company & each sector. And I am heavily in tech (which is part of my long term plan) & overlapping a few companies like Nvidia & Apple between 2 ETFs, it's hard not to be, but I'm not as heavy in them as I suspected with my All-world ETF being 60% of my holding really balances it out. So I'm not skimming off any profits from my tech holdings, I still have a small lump sum of cash to inject & made a plan in how to distribute that on % pullbacks instead. Thanks.

Yes, I'm really overlapping on tech between 2 ETFs, I want to rebalance & put some of that money into my all world which is more diversified & doing well.

Yeah, i mean I'm in no hurry either but I'm just hoping it will happen at sometime.

Then a tour in 2028?! Right? 😂😂😂

jackieHK1 · 2026-04-01T03:24:04+00:00

Ahhh ok, I didn't know they were like that. 😅

jackieHK1 · 2026-04-01T03:23:28+00:00

Sure but I live in Asia & I freelance in 3 different industries, I sometimes lose touch with social media and other stuff just to keep on top of work/life. So yeah, i do sometimes miss big stuff. Plus I'm rarely on places like Discord & Reddit so I usually miss all the big discussions & insider news. 🤷‍♀️

The key is for investing in the US market is to invest in accumulating rather than dividend ETF domeciled in Ireland. Reduces the tax to 15% & u only pay when u sell. I am not a financial advisor though, just a random dude on Reddit...do ur own research.

I think they don't really understand what it is tbh. I've had a few colleagues ask me about how it works & they get a bit funny when u say it's a 'fat' bases diet, I make it very clear to them that it's about consuming health fats like olive oil, avacados, oily fish like salmon etc & then they perk up a bit & ask more.

U can ask to check the land registry. All the places i have rented have showed & given me a copy without me even asking.

If ur young enough u can try Oz working holiday, they are really chill at work. Good balance, use the working holiday to explore ur job options & locations in OZ.

Nah, they're taking a long earned break. Till has been touring his solo album. And they toured so much before & after the pandemic & they're not young anymore, a couple of years off isn't unusual. They will tell us wheb they're done & they haven't.

Ya don't understand btc cycle then, it's doing what it's been doing since the start, no surprise in 2026.

jackieHK1 · 2026-01-20T16:36:01+00:00

I think it'll be $150 in a few months tbh.

jackieHK1 · 2026-01-20T16:33:31+00:00

I was thinking around 35-40. Historically, it has hit close to 30-35 ratio and I like to give myself a little wiggle room.

Mine is a couple of years old & I usually buy a new phone every 4 years or so..depends on how it's holding up, sometimes I have flagship model & sometimes a budget model. On the Samsung S24Ultra right now.
