On 2/7/23 I sold 4 stocks.

The reason I sold them, was because the Chair of the Fed was being interviewed.

And whenever he talks, the stock market will react.

At the beginning of his interview, the market went up, so I placed a stop loss on some of my stocks that were up enough for me to take my profits.

I got lucky, because before he finished the interview, the market went down big time, due to one comment. It was also down the next day 2/8/23, although I was not available that day.

I noticed the pre-market is up today and if they stay up after the market opens I will be buying more stocks.

The stocks that I sold on 2/7/23 were:
COST that I bought on 1/30/23
DIOD that I bought on 5/29/20
NVDA shares that I bought on 2/2/23
ROK that I bought on 3/29/22

Now I will watch their pricing and either buy them back OR invest in other growth stocks that are on my list.

on 2/9/23 I purchased shares of TWO companies.

One of them was VISA (V)
The other one was Fortinet (FTNT)

This in NOT the first time I have purchased stock in either company.

Everyone should know who Visa is.

On the other hand, FTNT is not as well known.

They are a CYBER SECURITY Stock and the reality is that many of the Cyber Security Stocks have been growing during the last 2 years and expectations are they will continue to grow.

Here is a brief bio of the company.
