Come see how many you've checked off!

On the road of trading U.S. stocks, no one stays clear-headed forever. We constantly swing between chasing highs and panicking lows, trapped in the cycle of “I saw this coming” and “I’ll just wait a bit longer.”

Here are 5 classic trading illusions, how many have you fallen for?

1. $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ is going to crash!

On the day Circle went public, its stock price doubled and kept hitting new highs for two weeks. Everyone said it was overvalued and bound to drop — yet it just kept climbing.

2. $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ is about to rebound!

“This time, for real!” — how many traders have held onto AMD through weekly lows, RSI divergences, or pre-earnings hype? And every bounce feels like a fleeting mirage.

3. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ is too expensive!

Tesla’s always been considered overvalued. Sales are down, yet the stock keeps rising. The market seems to ignore fundamentals — sometimes a new AI story from Musk is enough to send it up 10%. This week’s robotaxi pitch? Let’s see how far it takes us.

4. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is done for!

People keep talking about the AI bubble, but NVIDIA bounces back to $140 every single time. Just when you think it’s finally going to collapse, Jensen steps in and lifts it up again.

5. $Alphabet(GOOG)$ has bottomed out!

Google’s valuation is so low surely it has bottomed? AI monetization is finally here, so why isn't it rising? Just like AMD, everyone keeps calling the bottom, but it just won’t go up.

Have you fallen for any of these illusions?

Or do you have your own “misjudgment” story?

    $Oceanus(579.SI)$ is one stock that failed to convince investors despite the CEO’s hard selling of its good future prospect. It has dropped from $0.40 to $0.005. Its management has successfully drummed up FOMO for its stock in the past but its prolonged restructuring and failed promises have killed it. Thanks @Tiger_comments @Tiger_SG @TigerStars @icycrystal

    这太言归正传了!


    1.$Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$要崩溃了!


    我已经投资了15年多,我认为我更了解。何时 $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$加倍上市,我立即想到“又一次被过度炒作的IPO注定会崩溃”。


    被许多暴涨然后暴跌的IPO烧毁。所以我等待了“不可避免”的修正。


    看着CRCL攀升至31美元以上,然后攀升至62美元至199美元,认为“不可持续”。讽刺的是?我实际上使用了Circle的服务,并相信它们的潜力。但过去的灾难让我过于谨慎。


    最终以248美元买入,以为自己很聪明,结果却看着它回调。打最后一场战争而不是分析当前形势的经典案例。
