Good question. It is hard to be a long term holder of anything but quality names like ERI will comeback . The problem with the gambling group right now is the debt the carry with rates rising. Eri was able to refi into mostly fixed rates ,and I believe Nevada growth will be very strong regardless . Vegas properties may be much more susceptible to a slowdown
Got stopped out on some in my margin acct to protect the acct. Also hedged with ETFs like FAZ, and TZA, and in retirement accts, and sold some calls against my position
Watching close

This thread has to haunt the OP. So brutal to keep bumping it
I did something similar a short time ago. Not all but a significant portion. I just think stocks in general are over priced. The best time to buy stocks are always when there is blood on the streets. You cant do that when you are fully invested. All you can do is change what you own.
I have a good portion in mutual funds only because that is my only 401k option. I have for the most part kept those in the market because I am dollar cost averaging those by adding each month.
The portion I pulled out about a month ago went mostly to a cash position with some in gold. I really hate gold but it is where money flees for safety. I also hate bonds.....just not a fan. Rates are so low I don't see a big upside in bonds.
For the record....last time I did this there was a signifcant market correction and I was happy to be sitting on the sidelines. The hard part is to know when to jump back in. I agree with whoever else said that.
Last year my self directed portfolio showed a 52% return. So even if i sit for 12 months it will still be a decent 24 month return.
Funny greenbacks talking about another poster talking to himself in a thread.Listen to Dexter....LMAO
Knocking a thread that has at least 30 posters participating in it.
I would say a thread like this has 100% more value over a fantasy land thread where 1 poster is talking to himself.
You can book that cheersgif
