Haha no. I'm just taking profits here. Now that I'm looking at it this article is out there saying they'll be acquired so I'm torn. I'll probably not sell it all just dump like 200 shares.

This is how I got started over a month ago. I already got $300 worth of ETFs that are active in the market right now. I still have a lot to learn but i'm glad that i'm learning the game. Got me watching CNBC in the morning now instead of the local news/BSPN.
