NVDATSLANDXAAPLSPY THE INTELLIGENT INVESTOR (It could help you now): "NEVER buy a stock immediately after a substantial rise, nor sell it immediately after a significant drop. The evidence is clear: the more transactions you make, the less value is preserved. Smart investors should avoid having to buy at high prices simply because Mr. Market yells, "Buy!"; and vice versa. It is better to be safe and act prudently than trying to make all the money in the world. It is essential to have faith that tomorrow will be better. In the short term, the performance of your stocks will be held hostage by Mr. Market and his whims. You can control: brokerage costs, your portfolio costs, your expectations (be realistic), your risk (diversification), your tax bill (holding stocks for a certain period to reduce your tax obligations), and, most importantly, YOUR OWN BEHAVIOR"
SPYSPXNVDAAAPLTSLA Traders, let's reprogram our minds: if you exited early on calls like I did and are now filled with regret, then you're not alone. But if you keep regretting too much, then there's a high chance your mind starts believing that holding onto options is the key to success—but in reality, that's not always true, and it often leads to losses. So, let's take a deep breath and be proud of ourselves for staying consistent with our discipline and rules. You might have missed a huge profit today, but in the long run, you've won the heart of the stock market. If the stock market were a person, she’d be crying with you in the corner, promising to reward you with huge profits next time—because you stayed focused on your principles.
