    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 😅

    My worst case was shorting Coinbase and couldn’t stomach the lost and close too soon. Panic override my conviction. Paying tuition fee thru this . Important is lesson learned not to overcommit and leave room for maneuver.

    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.

    我在ARK走高時買入了它，希望它會越來越高，但後來的下跌是痛苦的，即使其他股票競相上漲，也花了相當長的時間纔回升。 @Kaixiang @HelenJanet @Universe宇宙 @Success88 @DiAngel @SR050321 @SPOT_ON @Wayneqq @LuckyPiggie @Fenger1188 如何加入

    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.

    花了很多时间和精力寻找要购买的股票，等了太久才以“理想”的价格购买，错过了大反弹。吸取的教训是，不要等太久才购买目标，然后需要再次重复搜索过程。

    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.
