I sold my F5 today for a 14% loss and used the money to add onto my NLY.  That’s the last of the pure tech in my IRA.  I’ll take another look at F5 another 10% down from now to see how it’s doing.  Hopefully I didn’t sell at the low (doubt it).  I’m thinking it’s best to have my dividend stocks in my IRA where they are protected from being taxed, and have stocks like F5 in one of my other accounts where at least there is some tax advantage if I sell for a loss.  My Red Hat had a great day today up over 18%!  I set alerts on both sides of it so one way or another I’m expecting to be locking in a nice overall gain there soon.
