No one knows where the stock market is gonna go.

Never cheat/ treat yourself.

My plan going into the stock market in 2020 was buy 30 shares of Tesla

I actually had enough money to buy 36 shares of Tesla in 2020. Cost — 14k

If I waited for a year, I would have 36k, a 24k gain in one year.

Kicking myself and mad at myself for not sticking with my original plan.

Also, If I literally didn’t put a limit order on my call option the other night, I could have exited trade with a 10% profit.

(Loss.)

No wonder I fell asleep and woke up with a headache today.

Don’t leave your job, this is how you can make money. I proceed to leave 5 jobs, in a pandemic, due to unhappiness.

Selling at a loss when I could of sold at +10% profit.

Thinking tomorrow the price of the contract would go down but it continued to go up.

At least I didn’t lose everything tho.

I didn’t have to lose tho…

Didn’t believe in it after a year of holding.

(Patience.)

pride.is.the.devil.

If I hold on, I might make more money. Didn’t listen.

If I hold on, I risk losing more money.

I lost more money by selling at a loss.

I lost thousands in a pandemic.

Let it play out. Let it play out. Let it play out.

Long-term investing. A year out.

Ups and downs.

Audacious self-doubt.

Audacious impatience.

Thinking’ it’s going down.

It’s back up again.

But I’m already out.

Loss.

U COULD MAKE IT ALL BACK.

I could have made 10% profit if I waited.

Instead, I set out a limit price for the high of the previous day.

Because I didn’t believe in it.

Sold at a loss

Let it play out. Let it play out. Let it play out.

Long-term investing. A year out.

Ups and downs.

Audacious self-doubt.

Audacious impatience.

Thinking’ it’s going down.

It’s back up again. I could have profited.

But I’m already out.

Loss. (I lost money selling 10 XLY call options at a loss, and selling 32 shares of Tesla before it hit 1k, a year after I bought them)

An even bigger gain, if I would have held my 36 shares of Tesla for a year.

$9,842.62 +$2,854.46 + $1,775 + $337 =

$14,809.08 (Cost of 36 shares of Tesla)

TSLA STOCK PRICE 10/26/2021

12:36 PM

(Potential gain if held until today, 10/26/2021)

$1024.71 x 36 = $36,889.56 — $14,809.08 = $22,080.48 profit
