My Latest BET (Bet Expected TACO) and Outcome

I won.  

I bought a few shares of META on March 26, 2026 as it fell after the recent the court ruling against META and GOOGL.  I was hoping for a quick rebound but it kept falling through March 27, 2026.  There was a minor TACO on April 1-2 which enabled all my shares to be profitable.  I sold two shares for a small  4.5-5% in 5 days and held into the fade that created some losses again..  Then on April 7, a second TACO  took META above the previous pump.  I sold a share at $590 a 5.4% gain in two weeks and waited for the fade on my last share.  Instead of fading, META pumped to $629.  I decided to sell my final share at $623 for a 7.6% gain after two weeks.

I also bought 6 shares of GOOGL for $275 on March 27, 2026 when it fell from the same court ruling. It immediately started rising.  I sold 1 share on April 1 for an 8.1% gain in 4 days.  The shares I kept are now up 15.6% with the second TACO.  I plan to continue to hold these shares for now, at least until they reach another all time high.

It's easy money right now to BET and it'll work until it doesn't.   The market advance from TACOs are becoming shorter with each succeeding occurrence.  I expect that there will be a TACO in the future with a flat market result.
