Up 11% this morning.
Nice!! at the beginning of the month it was 44.68 - 70.31 as of today
Now when to sell or do I buy more - crazy - I hate it
I would never make it as a stock picker -
When you have a big winner like that, it's best to look at your position like a trend follower. You want to use some form of a trailing stop. An easy way is to look at the 20 day moving average. The next time the stock goes down to it's 20 day moving average, buy. If it bounces off of it, you hold until the next test. When/if the stock closes below the 20 day moving average (I would probably give it about a 1-2% buffer below the 20 day SMA before you sell to avoid whipsaw), sell it all. Until it closes below the 20 day SMA, let 'er ride.

.40 a share - looks like the same dividend payout since 2015

I always struggle with price appreciation versus dividend yield
The amateur stock picker in me would rather just see the stock ticker go up

Yeah, it's not a great dividend raiser, especially for a bank.

COF Seems to be cominng back along with other banks. I bought some more shares a few days ago while selling other things. It’s the only bank I own, outside of VIMAX (mid-cap index)

I had a fantasy football draft with some of my old COF peers - I told them to get the stock back up to 100 - Not that they have any control on the stock price but it did make for a good laugh.

i don't feel great about banks.

Sure you did well on the transaction - now if you had sold at the 2020 low point of $42.. not so much

always how it works - credit card company's have some of the biggest stock swings since they own so much debt - well they call it outstanding loans and managed credit risk. When times are perceived to be positive the interest payments and late fees from subprime account are addicting - when times look uncertain, loan default risk kills the stock price in the short term.
