RE:RE:THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCENobody gets it right all the time? ABSOLUTELY! Look, if I've learned one thing, it's to know that the market is the dirtiest pigpen there is. It's akin to seeing a pot of gold at the bottom of a pool, but the pool is shart infested. Your job though is to grab the gold. The primary flaw most people make in the market is thinking that they've got it all goin' on, and that they are in fact one of the sharks now. NEVER is that true. Over 30 years in the market, and the only thing that keeps me alive is to say I'm a guppie that hides in the rocks, and then darts out and grabs a morsel, and then runs for cover.
That's also why I say I'll happily bat singles and double all day long, be it long or short. You adapt on a dime to the data in front of you and act accordingly.
But the Clowns here think, immaturely, that it is somehow good guys and bad guys. Wrong again. Here to make money, nothing else, however that comes. To be SO married to a stock is ultimately costly. Clowns if you're not sure here what I mean, add up all the money you've given back, riding obvious tops down, time and time again. This has NOTHING to do with whether this is a good company (it is), or what its ultimate value will be (more than it is today). But do even just two calculations...your math on $70 down $20 (the first and biggest bubble), and then $20 to $14 (pandemic start), and then most recently $70 down to $50 (reddit bubble). As you can see, you've lost far far more than you've gained.
Now, being blindly married to the stock, you'll just try and ignore this. That's just living in a fantasy, the same way some newbies will try and rationalize things by saying "It's not a loss until you press the sell button." Umm, no. It's a loss all the same. Period. Personally, I prefer realism. Money I lose on paper is a loss all the same, or a gain I "should" have been smart enough to realize, had I been looking at the obvious data rather than my marriage certificate. ;)
