Its weird - last weekend I was with my daughter - she showed me Pokemon Go and we ran around in the park by my house getting pocket monsters. I saw 2 other people doing it as well and talked to them - hooked, really hooked.

I actually put in an order Sunday night - sold yesterday... almost 50% gain.

I was shocked - I never gamble on short term gains, this was my first 'guess'. But I figured I would just hold for a week and probably at least wouldn't lose any money... wow - am I going to have to pay taxes...

We dug out her old Pokemon cards - she is thinking of selling them on sleazebay - I told her do it now while it is hot - could change tomorrow.

However, I have a lot of apple I bought in '97 - I don't plan on selling until I retire - the taxes would kill me while I am working. It is sort of hard - you think you should sell, but you end up holding and hoping because you aren't ready to sell. I am never sure what I should be doing...
