I was up a lot on
AAPL, and I didn't think it would continue much further (and I wanted to spend the money on something else). So I decided to sell all my shares.
A couple days ago I made a limit order for 190. The price had been hovering in the low-to-mid 180's.
Today, the order went through. With less than 2 minutes before closing, the price reached 190.00. It closed at 190.01.
Coincidentally, this happened exactly one year after I bought the 2nd batch (priced at 90).
I made 65.86% overall.
