Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

[Sytes]

I bought 2 shares of Bank of America stock earlier this year at $35 a share just because I had $70 left after buying some other stock. BAC is up 33% in that small time. I wish now I would have bought a lot more.

The story of my day/swing trading hobby fun.

Even more-so the example of one time tooting my horn on Hunt Talk several years ago about holding 200 shares of NVDA and enjoying the $1100 made at a $5.00 increase per share flipping that buy/sell.

Had I held those... I'd have over a million bucks right now. from that simple $3,600 day/swing trade. UGH! Haha! Anyone have a crystal ball? Mine is a garage sale bowling ball. Sometimes I think a coin flip would have better odds - other times, I think I am an awesome hobby trader.

Dang, that's a heart breaker. I've made some on NVDA but nowhere that much. I think the right thing to do is put a modest amount on several up and comers and then just leave it in hopes that one shoots for the stars.

I think SD PGoat is describing risk management. Triming is easier after a split.

Yea, I'm aware. But I just about completely disagree with this. It's almost always a non-issue. Like I said, I just don't understand people and splits.

Not saying you are wrong. People don’t make rational economic when it comes to money. If they did, Las Vegas wouldn’t exist.
