Investing General Discussion

One of the great things about being broke white trash with a lifetime of poor choices behind me is, chances are pretty good I wont ever look at one of my trades/investments and think "wow, that would have been life changing money had I just (insert choice other than the one I made here)".

Most of my positions are small enough that nothing any single one of them will ever do will make a significant impact, but hopefully, eventually the sum total will?

considering what, half the US has no savings? i wouldn't call yourself broke if you have anything invested

Not buying more when it dipped below IPO price will be one of my lifelong regrets.

2nd to buy buying Darden when it bottomed during COVID. My best friend managed a high end restaurant and told me he was delivering orders to keep the restaurant afloat. I knew it would rebound after the lockdown, I just didn't want to commit any cash I had cause I was afraid of losing my job. Darden dropped to $26 and was back to 163 6 months later.

Yeah, I just didn't have the patience for it. I figured it'd definitely go up, but I thought it might settle around $40-50.

No big deal though, I only had my AMC remnants in it, and even if I'd held until now would've only been worth about $3500.

There used to be a trading thread on the bodybuilding forums I came from back in the day. I swear, there was one poster who did nothing but advocate for PLTR all the way since its' IPO. Dude loaded up hard, he must be doing very well now. Didn't matter WHAT was happening in the market, he would always pop in and be like "good time to buy PLTR"

Everyone, including myself, thought he was just a troll

He makes a good point.

No he doesn't. Who the fuck cares who buys the bitcoin if the biggest army can just come and fucking take it?

I sold 15079 shares at $73 when it hit a stop I had set. 8 months later and those shares are worth 7 figures more than what I made.

Oh well.

This is like me when I ignored suineg trying to get me to buy bitcoin at $4. I would have lost the wallet and been depressed.

oh well is right!
