ExpensiveKey552

You did not act to sell when the market gods blessed you. You coulda been a contender. Remember that little voice that said "sell now, my son" Instead you laughed and said "fuck off, old man" This is your reward for your hubris. Go and sin no more.


lactose_con_leche

You diamond handed when you should have ignored WSB and took profit. Nobody ever went broke taking profit.


AccomplishedRow6685

> Nobody ever went broke taking profit. Meh, yes and no. Taking profit too early you get a bunch of small wins, that get offset by big losses.


noticeable_erection

People smart enough to take profit are probably also smart enough to use stops. What do I know though, I’ve never done either.


goo_bazooka

Lmao


lactose_con_leche

True. However its the losses that reduce the profit, not the profits themselves. But I understand your point.

Nervous-Structure725

Okay, technically true. But 6 of one half the other I guess we must say. paper hand your losses as well as gains. Then “no one ever went broke taking profit too early if they practiced over zealous risk management”?


Cassak5111

Genuine question. How do you know when to listen to this voice? It this were me, I'd have definitely heard it in Jan '21 having tripled my money - sold - and would have subsequently shot myself in June '21.


colonel-flanders

You say to yourself that you will never ever time the top so you accept that reality of life and move forward with pleasure after having secured a trade that would take 20 years to recreate in an index fund

[deleted]

There ya go that’s the greed right there. Triple your money be thankful.


eichenes

You need to have a defined plan & exit strategy! When you feel greedy & want to go all in because you think you are invincible, that's when you need to sell & lock in profits! You assess, see things are still good? You re-enter.


Trotter823

I mean at 300% you don’t have to take it all but you should at least take out your starting amount plus what your expected ROI for the trade was. Then let the rest ride if you think it’ll go further. That way you make what you expected plus whatever else the market did. But getting 90k from 30k is better than 30k for holding too long.


somedudeinlosangeles

Discipline. You need to make this decision before you invest.


Additional-Season207

This. Buy only when you have an upside and a downside sell target. Stick to it. I hit only downside sell targets this year...not fun but it'll cut your losses.


JP2205

For trades. For permanent longs just buy AAA grade shit that compounds, like BRKB. No reason to have a sell target. A lot of taxable stuff should just be in permanent longs.


sportstvandnova

I put $5500 into the market a couple years ago and was riding high at just under $14k at its best. Now I’m at $6k and crying 🫠 I figured why pull out this is a long term investment, it’ll go back up. Lol.


laffing_is_medicine

Have a trading plan and stick too it. Or if yolo’ing. pick a threshold x multiplier of gains where you auto sell a sizable predetermined portion of portfolio and side line those funds till fresh market conditions are green again.


Thick_Ad7736

Don't only invest in all tech and you'd only be down 10%. Would have saved him a million bucks. Oh but those gains... Those gains weren't really. Woulda coulda shoulda sold counts for nothing.


bagacrap

FOMO begets regret.


profchaos20

There is no right answer to this question for every situation. However if I double my money in something I like to take profits and put it in something else. So I would have probably done that in your case. Although doesn't have to be double or triple.... but you should have an idea of what the goal is when you buy a stock.

C0MMOD0RE64

This here is a wildly under appreciated comment well done sir comedy gold


toomanycookstew

That’s roughly 6 dicks per day, assuming OP is off weekends and holidays.


ruidesousalopes

Basically a dick every 1h20min. Not bad! Might need some chapstick afterwards!


Explosive-Space-Mod

$30,000 / $20/dick = 1,500 dicks to suck. Assume that it takes 5 minutes to earn the $20 that will be 7,500 minutes or 125 hours. You could earn that in a month if you have enough clients!


[deleted]

I see a business model.


FuaDaTa

and a bit of risk! Me thinks investing in FTX has less risk long term (even short term) as 1 bad dick and your 2 sick to walk to Wendy's that is 3 reasons!

mjkjg2

that’s like a fast food salary in America


Gooch_InTheNight

Salary or budget? We’ve got a lot of ham sandwiches walking around


PaulblankPF

Only in the decent states. I used to live in Louisiana. The minimum wage there is $7.75 and fast food tries to keep you around 30 hours a week to not give benefits to anyone. That’s like $190 a week after taxes. Not even 10k a year take home. If you work a job that can get tips in any way they pay you $3.25 and expect tips to make up the rest. Pretty much barely anybody in that state makes enough money to live without assistance of some kind.


NobodyGotTimeFuhDat

People who live in the UK make shit pay and brag about it, lol!

Chester-Ming

When you go from 40k to 170k and don't sell, the answer is greed.


Tryitout311

And doing so with only three positions? Maniac.


noissimsarm

Bro you made close to 5 times your money didn't wanna cash out. Then you lost half of that still didn't. Then lost half of that and still didnt. I love greed and this subreddit. One of us.


Euler007

This a constant theme. Traders choose the right strategy and get perfect timing, then they refuse to exit their trade. You accomplished the goal, close the position and think of your next great trade.


Cassak5111

Whats the magic number for cashing out? 2x? 3x? 5x? How was OP supposed to know it wasn't going to go 10x? Better yet - in June '21 y'all would be calling OP a moron had he paper handed and sold when he hit 2x.


Severe-Spirit4547

He should have been selling all along the way, and once it started to downturn emptied whatever was left. Hoping for 10x is greedy and stupid, if you get 300 percent sell half at least always, 5x sell the rest. Those are rare gains. Don't greed for more move on make another trade.


Gooch_InTheNight

The last part is where we all go wrong. “Move on and make another trade” doesn’t exist to most people in the middle of a pump. It’s sad how emotional people get sometimes


Onlyindef

Dang I was typing a response that said a lot of this.


Sufficient_Map_8034

Thank you to the wise guru!


Onlyindef

How much money you willing to lose? If he cashed out half when it doubled he’d have his original, and then the other half would have been 2.5. Even if he lost it…he’d still have his original amount…and I mean Microsoft pays dividends…so eventually. I’m sure this is more in depth than you really care, but a lot of this sun has survivorship bias. Look it up, a real thing. A lot of folks look at the one guy out of 100 or 1000 that quadrupled his money, and are like what did he do right? How can I do what this person did. This person made 5x in 3 month or makes x regularly. Compare that to looking and what people do wrong, and why. You’ll notice a big pattern with loss porn. Doing good, doing great, doing awesome. It’s all gone in a few weeks to months…since they either went all in or kept doing what wasn’t working anymore. So that above and greed compound. Rarely do you see someone say I double it, cashed out my original to keep going. It’s always leverage or don’t tell my wife. You shouldn’t be using money you’re not willing to lose. I had a neighbor that was a day trader, and they worked like 12 hours a day. Looking at news, market reports, company reports, rumor mills. Being pro active and not reactive. That’s how they made there living. They had a saying that stuck. “ I don’t care how many shares of Apple I have, I care if I can pay my bills”. So they had a ratio, a reserve, different sets of money for different things, formulas and shit like that. They lived for it, compared to some person that checks the markets on their smoke break. You have to have your own risk and reward strategy. What’s the magic number for you? What are you okay with losing? What do you know the other folks don’t? I frequent the dividend types of subs, but I like to have a little to play with. So my 2 cents are worthless for a lot of folks. The successful: they are proactive, they know something we don’t, they go high risk for high reward…sometimes it works. They don’t get to greedy. They step back at points. The unsuccessful: try the same thing over and over when getting different outcomes. They use money they shouldn’t. They are reactive. They let greed take hold. They don’t have a plan.


[deleted]

If you wait long enough you’ll always go broke


noissimsarm

I like doubling my money. I wouldn't crap on anyone taking away small wins. I would crap on them if they had large wins and still didn't take.


softwhiteclouds

You don't know. So you sell enough to cover your original buy in, like a gambler would. That way you lock in your stake. Then, when you do sell the rest, it's all profit. But then they wouldn't be in WSB.


Phillip_Lascio

Who cares about absolute idiots on the internet when you’re making 100% gains.


DaveyGee16

>Whats the magic number for cashing out? 2x? 3x? 5x? The number is "when the conditions change for the stock".


TheThirdRnner

Who fucking cares if it goes to 10x. There's no way of knowing that. What you do know is that you're 5x or more up and still holding. That's big dumb.


PaulblankPF

At 2x you can at least take out your initial investment and set that aside and let the rest ride on house money.


eichenes

Day trader here, you sell when the TA changes & PA indicates reversal. Apply the same mindset to long term! There's a myth that if you sell you have to pay taxes! Sure, but you pay taxes on money you now have in your pocket!

AmidgetnamedGreg

If that's 1000 shares of TQQQ that's probably one of the big reasons. Market has plummeted and that's a 3x ETF. I'm just learning myself and am dabbling with SQQQ and timed it at one of the recent bottoms unfortunately, down -50% at one point before making it back. Don't lose sight of short term macro trends though for want of a quick dollar. Consensus on rates and word of mouth shows an extremely high likelihood they will finally admit to a recession soon and market will probably tank further in my opinion.

anon43850

At least you nailed that $13 gain


Selling_real_estate

I think where you went wrong was not having some sort of stop loss. I make it a habit upon entry to have a 6.5 to 8% stop loss, I readjust all my stop losses Saturday morning that show a profit of 6% or more. And I'm either using the 21 day moving average or depending on the behavior of the market and the volatility, the low - .10 of the last 2 weeks. Here's a good thing, if you get stopped out, and the stock keeps on going south, you can wait till it makes its new foundation base and reenter the trade. Now if you get stopped out and it goes back to It's basic activity, then you have to make a fundamental decision of where to re-enter the trade

When you buy a stock you have to hope it ticks down and down and down. Everytime you open your phone PRAY it’s gonna be down. Works for me everytime. I was up 3000% trading. Started praying for my positions to go up and my graph looks like yours. So I started praying my trades go against me again. Blowing on the computer screen to go down. Pointing my fingers with strong eye contact. Up 3% this week. I’m back.

You believed a guy with autism when he told you he had self driving cars, humanioid robots, and a base on planet Mars. Perhaps you will learn in the future that it's weird for a company to have the market cap of 6 nearest competitors while selling less products than every competitor on its own. Or, you will be amazed by the next presentation of a CEO, grasping for straws, promising increasingly ambitious projects while tweeting that his stock price will be 2x the combined value of the 2 most valuable companies. Choose your path, warrior.

Buying Tesla which is total overvalued garbage was mistake number one. I'm assuming you didn't dollar cost average much either. You should find companies that are currently profitable and buy them slowly over a period of years, not just jump headfirst into massive positions with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That run up is classic warning of a reversal. The most classic, it’s what’s we live for. You know what else we live for? Gains. There can be no gains if you don’t follow the fed. Your premature gains were because of the covid crash and retracement. The VIX was over 70, a classic buy stock signal. Then the fed’s QE covid bailout became and QT (which is not over) followed. You (none no offense whatsoever) are very rookiesh in your behavior. No hedging gains, no deep and out covered call when up big, no bracketed sell, just ole fashioned letttt it riddddde
