Mid-week check-in - 11/27/2024

NNE is reporting earnings today and I have a large long position. It could go either way. Also have LX and API working out beautifully, but concerned about the market being extended short term, so I did some risk management tactics on some of the weaker movers in my portfolio. It always happens that when I have 1) a generally extended market short term, 2) large unrealized profits and 3) being highly invested, in this case over 100%, that the market corrects sharply and I lose a ton of money. I want to avoid that now, just learning from my mistakes. If we pull back (and I think there is a high probability of that happening in the next few days), I will still lose a lot, but at least my risk is more managed than if I just blindly let my stocks run "because they didn't trigger my sell signal yet" -> that's what I would have said 6 months ago.

On my large account yesterday I put half of my entire account in a treasury ETF (AGGG) to hedge because it seems like the macro environment shifted and bonds are back in play. I'm guessing this because of the news + all my commodities/energy names selling off. So far it's working well, will see if the market continues to agree with my idea going forward.
