Do you "diamond hand" anything, or do you have strict sell rules?

With the interesting silver movements on Friday, it occured to me I've modified my original technique over the years.

On stocks, ill hold the big stuff forever. That is, VOO, or Google, or Coca Cola. That just sits there.

For options, I tend to tap out at 50% gains.

But over time I've put some cash in long shot calls. An example would be the drone stocks I expect to be associated with the military. Those are LEAPs until 2028.

But I'm wondering how many people diamond hand everything or nothing? With the rise of phones and Robinhood et all, if often seems like gambling is the order of the day. But maybe not.
