Let's face it COVID has been challenging for many people and someone reading this might need a pick me up!
This is a different post related to the noise coming from the media. I am here to share three stories related to trading and investing... stories of success trusting your gut not the noise.
My Bitcoin Story... In 2017 I tried the online game second life, not by choice but was doing research regarding the construction of these virtual communities. A player showed me how she was building homes for people and being paid in Bitcoin. I was blown away and was always searching for a side hustle. I began to build and collect BTC as a hobby and something I began to enjoy (always was a gamer..still am lol). I was fascinated by the DW at this same time. I did not invest in stocks and did not even have a trading account at this time... only GIC... I only bought and received bitcoin. I never ever thought Bitcoin would appreciate the way it did. Since then I sold my BTC at 18,000. I have bought back twice since then once in 2019 when it went oversold, and again during the COVID sell-off. FYI I am out for now but still own my second life coins I cherish as a memory now.
A year or so ago, the motley fool paid service issued a "sell" alert on TSLA when the share price was around $175. Anyone familiar with the Motley SA services knows it is pretty rare they issue a sell alert in the paid services. I sold my shares a year and a half later for over $1,000 before the split.
Citron, here is a story. I have owned many shares of Shopify since the beginning as I felt I knew this area well. At around $190 Andrew Left short Shopify “Left is so convinced that he is right about Shopify that Citron has pledged to donate $200,000 to the Robin Hood Foundation, a charitable organization if Shopify is trading over $200 in 12 months.”.... lol my shares are in a better place now well over $1,100. These guys play dirty do not listen to any free information. Still have yet to see the donation...
My biggest gains have always involved some Pepto and lost sleep. It is always easy to look back and pump your ego but I look at my journals and this was far from the case at those exact times.
Think outside the box, trust the process, and most importantly trust yourself over everything and everyone!
People will always hate on you if you win or lose. Sadly jealousy is the most overused emotion.
“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.”
