Why I Sold My United Airlines Stocks Today

In my $5.8 million portfolio I just sold some of my United Airlines stock positions and here’s why.

I’m Kiana Danial, former engineer, best selling author of the WSJ and USA Today best selling book Million Dollar Family Secrets and current 8-figure investor here to help you beat the Wall Street bros at their own game.

I started buying United Airlines Stock (UAL) in 2021 and dollar cost averaging down on key psychological levels to have a total of 608 shares of United Airlines stocks.

I bought the post covid dip and as you can see from my brokerage account details in the video below, I am up up 130% on the lots that I purchased in that time period.

After years of consolidation, United finally got into a bullish momentum reaching a brand new all time high on December 4th, 2024.

Here’s the exact reason I decided to take partial profit from my United Airline stock (UAL) shares:

I sold now, because I bought that stock with the intention of taking partial profit after I hit a certain amount of growth. Every time make an investment decision, I create my strategy with the end in mind. This is the second point of my Invest Diva Diamond Analysis, which I call ‘intentional analysis.’

So based on the exit strategy I created years ago when I first bought the United Airlines stock, when I saw this 136% gain I decided to take profit from this lot with 150 shares.

This partial profit taking strategy allows me to manage my risk in a way that if the stock continues to go up I still have stocks left, and if it drops, I already cashed out and made $15,000.

My United Airlines stock lots before I sold the longest-term lots:

My tax strategy: When you wait for over a year to sell your stocks with a profit, you pay less in capital gains taxes. In my case, I made sure to only sell my UAL lots that were purchased over a year ago so I pay less in capital gains taxes.

Specifically, as you can see in the image above, I only sold the lots that I had purchased in 2021 that had the highest gains of above 136%.

United Airlines Stock Analysis

Looking at the United Airlines chart on the monthly time-frame, you’d notice that it generally has long-term growth tendencies with medium term pullbacks. However, the most recent bull run seems to be a bit out of character since there has almost been no pullbacks involved. For that reason, now that the UAL stock has reached an all-time-high level, we could expect pullbacks towards key psychological levels.

Using the Fibonacci retracement levels on the weekly chart, the key support levels that could give you a buy-back opportunity include $88, $78, and $70.

United Airlines stopped paying dividends in 2008. Its risk is medium, with a Beta of 1.39.

I am long-term bullish on UAL and planning to keep the rest of my shares until I hit my preferred profit-taking level.
