    购买SMCI感觉就像收养了一只“超微”宠物，我以为它会长成狮子……但结果是一只昏昏欲睡的小猫，它吃了我的钱，反而在我的投资组合上打盹。生活还在继续，我很高兴我减少了损失并且能够睡个好觉[Happy]

    Stock market has a wicked sense of humour. Once cut loss, it will turn back up. After buying, it will retrace.

    Last Sep FOMO to catch SREITs rally. When the knife dropped, I thought the boat came back for me to load up more... Alas, it came back with marauding pirates and I caught the falling knifes. Having been bundled up and fed to the sharks, I rebirth with a renewed mind and loaded up on new positions when the bandit fear is at the heights of the liberation day. Now I hold contrasting positions  of extreme red and green.

    don't leverage too much during rally especially at all time highs... once pullback... you will panic. leverage when you reach the bottom of a pullback, during a bull run. how to know that? that's the million dollar question

    I got destroyed yesterday buying into JBL, thought earnings would be good short term profit, and they ended up being mixed. Long story short, I'm now down about 10%, holding and hoping for a rebound now 😅

    我最糟糕的情况是做空Coinbase，无法承受损失并过早平仓。恐慌压倒了我的信念。通过这个支付学费。重要的是要吸取教训，不要过度承诺，要留出回旋的余地。

    I am so regret not taking profits when $Sprouts Farmers(SFM)$ was high at 178 and even worse not cut loss when it fall below 150. Now it is the worst stock in my portfolio. Just hoping it will not dropping further and rebound soonest.

    When I don’t sell call, the price won’t move. Once I sell call, it shot up limiting all the winning that I could have gotten. These are incident the market likes to do to us. Ensure all spread are covered so it doesn’t wiped out your portfolio.

    What I had experience is that when I trade to buy low sell high, you will miss out sudden rise of the stock due to news on deals that we are unaware off. For counter like. Nebius, I was holding for long term and when they announced the MS deal of 17B , my stock went up 40% and my fortune shoot up ! I think a hybrid model to trade on small cap stocks and to hold on big cap stocks may be a better options.

    I bought ARK when it was going high hoping that it would go higher and higher but the drawdown later was a painful one that also took quite a while to climb back even when the other stocks raced ahead. @Kaixiang @HelenJanet @Universe宇宙 @Success88 @DiAngel @SR050321 @SPOT_ON @Wayneqq @LuckyPiggie @Fenger1188 come join

    Really a heart thumping 2 weeks for equities especially for Crypto market. Volitility is at the top in this period. Profits wiped out but perseverance will hold up and eventually we will have a Bull run.

    If you want to know when the market will drop, just follow my move. When I buy, it will for sure drop!

    Spent much time and effort in search of stocks to buy, waited too long to buy them at "desired" price and missed the big rally. Lesson learnt is don't wait so long to buy targets and then needed to repeat the search process again.

    當年年輕時，和公司兩個同事連續兩次all in+槓桿分別買入一家公司。第一次成功了非常開心，每天股市上下一個價位都是上萬的波動，走路都有風。第二次資金更大更有信心，結果最後業績出來股價滑落。最後沒法止損離場。從此不敢再全部押一隻股票 @Tiramisu2020

    I thought I was being clever hunting for bargains. Saw a stock down 50% and told myself, “This is like buying Louis Vuitton at half-price!” I loaded up. Two weeks later, it was down another 40%. That’s when I realized I wasn’t buying luxury goods on sale; I was buying milk that was already expired.

    Once, my stock was up 15%. I panicked, sold immediately, and patted myself on the back for being “disciplined.” The next day it went up 40%. The week after, it doubled. I basically donated my shares to someone with stronger hands and better Wi-Fi.
