Over extended myself. Debating on waiting a bit more for VTSAX to come back where I’ll be breaking even and taking my cash back out and averaging back in. Got in at $83 for 16.5k and feel like I missed the boat (time in market vs. timing lol). Put an additional 1k (DCA) in at $71 split 50/50 between brokerage and Roth IRA. Want to get at least my initial 10k out of brokerage. OR I could continue to average in but instead at my floor. So if we are above $83 I will put in HYS. Thoughts?

If you are planning to add more why sell? You may be averaging in at a higher price. Do you need the $10k for something?

I would just feel comfortable with a higher savings cushion now that my girlfriend is living with me.

Adverse selection is a huge issue in trading. You never have perfect information and your decision won’t be perfect for the outcome. This usually means you’re too small in winners and too large in losers.

As markets crash we’re seeing something similar. People are ignoring bad outcomes when they should be working that much harder to protect previous gains and find new ideas. Lower traffic in this thread is a symptom of this phenomenon. Don’t quit just as the value of incremental effort ramps.
