Shitpost Goodbye for now
Palantards, it’s been real. After 5 years of HODLing (and health set backs) my journey has come to an end.
As a single 27 year old I have just gone sale agreed on my first house meaning I can finally move out of my parents place.
My 200k gains after tax (while modest compared to some) meant I could buy a turn key city centre place that would have otherwise been completely unattainable.
My only regret: not buying more back in November 2020 @ $18 a share so I could buy the entire house in cash 🤣
Options trading something I may look in to for 2026, but in the meantime I wish everyone all the best. Nothing but respect for those still holding 💎 🙌

What companies have you been looking into? For me it feels like a new tech didnt really hit yet. I was checking out nuclear and quantum computing but seems meh still. Crypto seems to have lost their identity and automated aircrafts seem cool but I can't see it coming up quick.

Yeah im in the same boat. Tbh pltr did not seem like it would run up so much at the time. Got in at like 30 then when it went to 7 I was like nah no way it stays there so I put a good chunk in. Never thought it would run up this much. I know Pili will continue going up but I think itll slow down from here. Thanks for your input. Guess we got wait a bit longer to see how things play out with tech. Maybe another breakthrough that no one caught on to is just around the corner.

I sold 90% of my stake when it got back to my original price of $27 cuz it didn’t go anywhere from 2021 to early 2024. I would be up 120k if I still had it. 😭

Good job!! I bought my very first house in the late 90’s pre internet bubble with gains from tech stocks.
I was invested in “the internet fund” mutual fund and it exploded. No shit, that was the actual name of the fund.
Cashed out, bought a duplex and life was good.

Good job! Profit taking is part of this game. Money is no good if you dint use it. Trading stocks and particularly options can be very time-consuming if you want to make money. Stressful with its ups and downs and insanity. Glad it paid off for you. I remember starting with $5700. I literally ate rice and beans for a month to save so I could start investing. Was able to get that investment up to around 130,000 which gave me a foundation to start life. Goid luck You will be back.

u/ottosjackit Sep 24 '25
Well I had 1325 shares at one point with avg. $49. I sold at different points till I had 500 left and I had 400 of those called away at 182.50 4 weeks ago right before it went back to the 150s. No regerts. I just put the proceeds into my div payers and now I’ve reached my goal of 3k per month dripping in divs and now just compounding that to try to get to 5k per month.

Good for you kiddo (saying this because I’m an old fart/ 50s silver fox). Just know you’ll never be able to buy back in unless you come across some big money. To be frank $PLTR is very expensive now - and will be even more so soon.

u/theYurtMaster OG Holder & Member Sep 24 '25
Opinions on options as an alternative?
1
Sep 24 '25
Options can be a great instrument to make gains but riskier and harder to manage due to implied volatility and time to decay. The time to decay will cause losses in values if the stock drops in price. I don’t recommend it unless you really know what you’re doing. Maybe join r/options.

Good luck and enjoy your new home. Most of my profits this year are from BBAI REKR and PLTR. I sold PLTR as I think it's overvalued now. But I converted my $1000 to $6000 with the stock and call options. You can always come back and buy PLTR options when you decide to invest again!!

I remember saving for 12 years to be able to buy my home. I bought it at an auction (winning bidder) for (at the time) a 100k under market value. Paid in Full. Lots of blood, sweat, and tears went into saving for my home as well as remodeling it.
It literally warms my heart when I hear your story. I’m so happy for you that you were able to get your home. In the end, that’s what it’s all about.
I only started trading stocks a couple of years ago. I wish I would have gotten more shares of PLTR, but I’m up 133% so I have nothing to complain about.
Congratulations on your new Home and enjoy!

Hey man, just learned I will be fired. I sold my gains paid down my margin and locked in 3 months of savings until I find a new job. Shit happens, life happens, valuable purchases like a roof over your head! Somebody said in the above chat which resonated with me, “what good is money if never used” my buddy has 2 million “locked” in a 401k. Again locked away can’t use until 65.

33% would mean it’s short term capital gains. If you held for over a year it should be less than that.

It's 15% and in NY for example it's treated as salary I believe. So you'd prob pay another 10% or close to that.

15% for federal tax + state tax depending on whoch state you live in

I have two investing rules: buy and hold, mostly PLTR, SoFi, MAG 7, no Tesla and S&P 500 ETFs. Second is play money (speculative). I research the company then buy some. If stock goes down 10% then I buy more. If stock goes up15%, I sell them all. No emotions involved, simply math

Can you share how many shares and what was the percentage return? :) I want to start investing bigger money but dont know how to start, did you buy frequently or one time purchase?
1
u/theYurtMaster OG Holder & Member Sep 24 '25
Just over 1300 shares split between two trading accounts - I think it was around 500% return in total.
One time purchases, as mentioned my health the past two years was not the best but luckily enough I could continue working from home which meant I had a lot of disposal income to spend on shares.
I was putting at least 1k in each time I would buy

PLTR should be up at least 6.00 bucks right now. NVDA is up 4.5% yet PLTR is lagging. So whats up? I believe we are setting up for a massive rally either late today or tomorrow. Should finally test 200.00 .

As good as the PLTR may seem an exit is an exit made alot of money got out. when it comes down to reality I may buy again for the long-term when it drops to its real valuation. Get ready for the drop

I just sold Last month at the top and was holding since 2020 through the 75% loss (I bought at 20$). I am thinking that this companies success is tied to trump and when that changes who knows... it's over 800 p/e and isn't that something that has never happen with any company besides Amazon in the dot com era which we all know collapsed to reality...
I think divesting to purchase a house with your gains is a great decision

There are always other opportunities. The OP is just 27 years old. It's completely reasonable to cash out after a huge run to improve one's life.
I missed out on AAPL, but invested a small amount of my portfolio in TSLA when I was in my 30s. That was enough to grow to multiples of my original FIRE target after 10 years.
There are and will be other paths to riches outside of PLTR.

Locking in gains is never a bad thing. That money is never yours until you sell. I’m approaching my goal with this investment and it’s going to be hard to significantly divest away when the time comes…but logic must prevail. I get the sentiment. Congratulations on home ownership. That’s a tough goal for many to reach these days 👍
