Next week I am planning to liquidate what for me is a large position in LULU.

The 10 day average volume is 2.2 million. This may be a stupid question, but I don’t typically sell in this size.

If I want to sell 2,000 shares of LULU, can I do it all at once without sending the stock price lower?

I’m guessing yes, but I want to make sure.

Word on the street is that Adobe ($ADBE) has been playing some sly games to maintain its market dominance. Rumor has it they've been strategically seeding the internet with pirated copies of Photoshop, making it a breeze to crack. This tactic has allowed them to establish an iron grip on the industry, while turning a blind eye to the pirates dancing around with their illicit copies. It's no wonder the phrase "that's Photoshopped!" has becom

My current portfolio consists of itot, schd, vxus, googl, and amzn. I bought googl and amzn for growth and sold calls while it was down. Looks like my shares will get called away this weekend.

So, I'm debating on DCAing $10k into schg or xlk and calling it a day. I used the etf overlap tool and itot more or less has everything in it. Is adding schg/xlk in place of googl & amzn a reasonable idea, or should I just DCA the rest back into itot?

Are distributions reinvested into an ETF considered 'new money' and does the fund manager charge a MER on that new money being invested as well?

Introduction:

With all the hype around AI and NVDA, this could be a strong catalyst for launching GOOG into its intrinsic value. Most of the climb had already taken place over the weeks.
