I deeply regret selling all my Apple stock at $196. Just four days later, it surged to $208. Why did I make such a hasty decision? The sell signals seemed strong, and I lost faith in Apple due to their silence on AI advancements. However, immediately after WWDC2024, the stock price jumped significantly. This isn't the first time this has happened; I made a similar mistake with Meta stock. Lesson learned: When dealing with good stocks, it's wiser to sell only half of my holdings when faced with a strong sell signal. This strategy allows me to mitigate losses and benefit from potential price increases. ~ A Rookie Trader Learning from Mistakes PS: New Strategy updated June 12, 2024... https://buysellsignals.blogspot.com/2024/06/july-2024-bro-ace-rookie-stock-trading.html
Trading has come to a grinding halt. All my disposable capital is stuck in a market that is not moving up. I can't even buy anymore when they are down. I just have to sit and wait for the day COVID-19 vaccine is available. That's when the market will shoot up. Now I know why traders cut losses. So I guess I am not a trader but an investor. A long term investor... 12-year investor to be exact. The financial crisis seems to come every 12 years. I don't have much of 12 years left ahead of me. It's time to become a trader. So... Do Traders Make More Money Than Investors? Basically, both will make as much money. The trader makes the money faster, maybe in minutes, but more stressful. They buy to sell. They cut losses. The investor makes the money slower, up to decades, but more relaxed. They buy to hold. They hold losses and hope.
