I sold about a third of my MARA shares at about $13.80 right before it took off again.

Hehe, yeah, it's coming out of a squeeze, so it should hit close to its 200 day at $16.20-$16.75... but breakouts also haven't really been working well in this environment, so I don't think it was a terrible idea to take some off the table. I covered up my position with those short $13.50 calls a bit too soon as well.

Microsoft is near 52 week lows right now. It might not be done going down with the 2 year bond holding high, but I'll start to nibble at these levels.

Man, it was all over the place in the after and pre market. Closed at $14.76, plummeted to under $14, jumped up to about $15 and then dropped back down to $14.50 right before open.

Everyone is watching texh earnings as a way to gage the overall economy but these stocks have been running ahead of themselves for quite some time. I still think it could be a good entry for longterm. I think the critical thing to watch is what energy is doing as it seems to be what's making the most ripples in the economy besides the fed and cost of borrowing. Recent reports show that US crude inventory had built past forecast and the Saudis have stated there cutting production but weak downstream supply and large demands and the crunch in Europe has allowed these companies to keep thier gains in the face of higher crude inventory.

If you didn't sell any MARA today, you should have. We didn't quite hit those 200 day EMA/SMA's, but we got damn close, and the reversal today on high volume indicates that a trip to the 8 day EMA near $12.75 is almost a foregone conclusion. I surely don't feel as bad with those short $13.50 calls now (as good as having sold @ $14.50), but you just never know when you go in... such is the nature of the beast.
I commend you, B_H, on selling in scales (i.e. not dumping your entire position) earlier this week! However if you are nimble, you might want to dump a bit more on any strength tomorrow, and hope to reload around $11-$13.

I sold another third today at $14.45. I'm planning on dumping the rest tomorrow. Altogether, I'm up by about 15 percent for the month of October, which is about what I've gotten the last two months as well.
If I can just keep that up for another 55-60 consecutive months, I'll be a millionaire! 
Lately, I've only been investing maybe 20% of my funds at a time instead of all of it at once like I had been. Less risk, but somehow it's resulted in the same reward.

I guess call the bank and tell them you want to talk about buying stocks and find out what your options are.

Vgro? Its 20% bonds
I wasn't aware of that fund, I guess because it's Canadian Vanguard. It's an ETF that invests in other ETFs. It reminds me of the first fund I ever bought, Vanguard Star, which was composed of 5 other Vanguard funds, one of them bonds.
It's not a bad idea because it gives you loads of diversification, it's oriented towards growth which is good for your time frame, and the 20% bonds are a safety measure.
These kind of funds are better for most people because they outperform roughly three quarters of actively managed stock pickers. They're kind of boring, and they there will be better options when the market is soaring, but which options will only be known in retrospect. When the high flyers are losing, indexes will lose less.
It's a good investment to sit on for 30 years.

Nice tight day today with just a little bit of give back in the majors (small and midcaps are actually up!). That's honestly a pretty healthy sign, and I am looking for a bit more of a controlled pullback to key moving averages in order to add some more exposure.
In particular...
Those $13.50 calls I shorted to cover my MARA common stock did get exercised on Friday (I bought half of them back at the close for around $0.30 - capturing 70% of the overall value, and let myself get some of my common shares called away on the other half). Looking for retracement toward ~$12 (home of the 20 and 50 day moving averages) as an opportunity to rebuild the position, either by purchasing outright, selling puts, or a combination of the two.
AEHR and SGML are finally seeing some real rejection/selling today, after what has been an enormous run. I didn't chase these, but I do want to own them... so I'm going to be patient, looking for tags of their 20 day moving average as an opportunity to accumulate. For AEHR, that's presently around $18 (or better than 10% lower than where the stock is currently trading). For SGML, that's presently around $32.50 (better than 9% lower than where the stock is currently trading and almost 20% below today's peaky tag of $40).
CGC is seeing some high volume buying, but I'm not interested in chasing the breakout, especially with earnings due in less than two weeks.
GVA had an awesome earnings breakout that's still going on day three. There wasn't any reason to step in front of earnings, and I didn't want to buy the breakout, so I'm just spectating, but the fact that it's still able to keep rising is impressive.
SPY seems like it should be in motion to test $400 at least, and if it can do that successfully, $420 seems like a decent target on this rally... unless of course earnings or the election or the fed or the war throws a wrench in the plans. Lot of things to worry about out there, but the market is showing some constructive signs of normalization. Could just be a bear market rally, but it's feeling OK for now. If SPY breaks its 8 day EMA, I would look for support at around $370 as a potential opportunity to accumulate.
