Fear and Greed at 10, and I’m still fully invested in my paper-trading account. After reviewing everything today, I just want to slap myself.
I held on for three days. I thought about cutting my position eight times, but never did it.
In the group chat, people went from calling themselves “diamond hands” to saying they were “going to zero”—they changed their tune faster than they changed their positions.
My mistake was that while prices were falling, I was busy trying to hype myself up and forgot to check the volume.
Next time, I’m changing one thing: on my worst emotional day, I’ll keep my hands off the buy-more button and go pour myself a glass of water first.
I’ll admit defeat this time. Did you sell at the bottom, or are you lying there playing dead like me?
