I’m beating myself up (and I know I have to get over it), but I messed up by missing out on this recovery and not buying calls.
I anchored to prices and when I didn’t get those prices, stocks ran away from me.
I missed $AMZN at $199 on March 30th.
Then $HOOD at $65.
It’s got me angry and upset.
Has anybody else went through this?
I keep trying to remind myself “the market has unlimited opportunities, there will always be another dip, another chance to make money”
But right now, I’m just feeling pessimistic for missing out.
One of the things that fucks with you is if you buy in later after a stock has already ran you psychologically think your getting ripped off because you had the chance to own it for much cheaper.
Moving forward I’m going to shift my mind from thinking of buying at an exact price and instead in a range of $5-$10.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
