Why I Sold IPOE?! (SoFi Merger Spac)

lesson / review

Swing trade review: https://tradejournal.co/trade/update/7085/

As some of you in the discord and/or on the live stream this morning already know... I sold my IPOE.    

What Happened?

  1. IPOE rally due to
    1. SoFi IPO merge agreement on May 27th
    2. SEC voting on warrants
    3. Hot stock with a lot of publicity
      1. Cramer is watching and said he was waiting for IPOE to become SOFI
  2. SoFi is set to have an $9b Market Cap @ Merge day
  3. Meeting is tomorrow May 27th
    1. Risk of a negative vote but that would not mean it's over

Why I Sold

  1. Roth IRA
  2. Pull-backs

I would NOT have sold if I was holding my IPOE shares in a regular account but I was holding in ROTH IRA which allows me to reinvest my trading income without paying taxes. With a ROTH IRA if you can time just a few big moves it can be very financially worth while to do so.

For me when a company rallies 50% and reaches BIG resistance that may be time to do so.

What Now

  1. Buy Back

There was an inital dip of 11% after it reached the highs 21.8 to 19.32 (extended hours) before bouncing back 5% to around $20 and holding. Ideally I'd like to buy below $19 but only time will tell. Next major support zone is around 17.5 which is the price we originally had to break past before the second part of that BIG 53% rally.

IPOE so far in this rally has not pulled back more than 10% so this is already a bigger move. I'm not sure if we will get a bigger dip so I'll be watching it here and if we have a morning panic there is a good chance I'll be buying. Eitherway I'll see to get my OG size back under $20 and anything after that is an aditional win.
