Howling 🐺 WOLF — My Exit Strategy

Cashing In on $WOLF’s 80% Surge: Selling 60%, Riding 40%, and Facing the 1,000% FOMO

Posted on September 15, 2025

Holy smokes, what a ride with Wolfspeed ($WOLF)! I’m up 80% after the stock blasted off from its lows, thanks to the court greenlighting their Chapter 11 restructuring—slashing debt by ~70% and interest costs by 60%. With $WOLF at ~$2.20, I’m thrilled but wary of volatility. I’m selling 60% of my position to lock in gains, keeping 40% to chase more upside, and wrestling with the big question: will I kick myself if this hits 1,000%? Here’s my plan and why I’m cool with it.

Why Sell 60%?

An 80% gain is no joke, and with $WOLF’s wild swings (down 18% intraday post-surge), I’m banking 60% of my position to secure most of that profit. The restructuring sets Wolfspeed up to ride the silicon carbide (SiC) wave for EVs and renewables, but execution risks and potential dilution keep me grounded. Cashing out 60% means I’m celebrating the win now, not sweating a pullback.

Riding the 40% with Guardrails

I’m holding 40% with a trailing stop-loss at 12% below the recent high (~$1.95-2.00, near support). Why? Momentum’s still hot—X traders are eyeing $2.50-3 short-term, and analyst targets average $8-9. If $WOLF breaks $2.50 with big volume, that 40% could double my initial stake again. But if it fades, my stop locks in most of the remaining gains. I’m watching volume (it’s been wild) and news (fab updates, Tesla deals) to stay nimble.

The 1,000% FOMO Question

Could $WOLF soar 1,000% to ~$24? It’s not impossible—perfect execution and a SiC sector boom could push it toward 2023 highs. But it’s a long shot (<10% chance by year-end) without massive catalysts like major contracts or a market frenzy. Chasing that risks giving back my 80% gain if volatility strikes. Selling 60% now and trailing the rest lets me bank big while staying in the game. If it moons, my 40% will still make me smile; if it doesn’t, I’ve secured the win.

Why This Hybrid Approach Works

Going all cash would dodge risk but hurt if $WOLF runs to $5 (not crazy in this sector). Holding everything could burn me if momentum stalls. This 60/40 split balances greed and discipline, fitting my swing trading style—lock in profits, chase upside, manage risk. If it dips and holds support, I might jump back in.

What’s Next?

Wolfspeed’s in a high-growth sector, and this restructuring buys time to scale SiC production. But it’s a volatile beast, so I’m glued to X for sentiment and news for catalysts. For now, I’m stoked to pocket 60% of my 80% gain and let the rest ride with a plan.
