Let's be honest: How "emotional" are you when buying a stock on a scale of 1 - 10?

10 = purely emotional

Reason for my poll: In my opinion, most posts/discussions when buying single stocks come down to the following, rough blanket answer: "A detailed, structured analysis of the stock according to a dedicated strategy is required -> otherwise better ETF".

________________

Emotional: brand perception, special personalities, special products, consumer attitude (do you buy a lot yourself), "must" be in the portfolio, spontaneous purchase in the app without "research".

Rational: fundamental data / key figures, chart analysis, annual reports, extensive research/selection, purchase according to defined strategy

When I first bought a company, I gave it about 9/10, now probably less, but my subjective "esteem" for a company is based not only on facts, but also strongly on an emotional level. Therefore, I would say that I always select individual stocks emotionally, precisely because they are satellites in the portfolio.

5/10: I buy shares according to stability, growth and profit of the company compared to the dividend and value growth of the share itself. I never buy a pig in a poke and "coulda had bicycle chain". Not every stock is spectacular on the stock market either. Likewise, stocks also change over time. I often read or see videos/posts about stocks and ETFs that are currently not as interesting as they were 1-2 years ago, etc. And yet they are traded as stable.

Phew, very good question, I think the emotional component is really the most important part of investing. Something I try to work on. It helps me a lot to write down my thoughts, especially to share them here & in a more private group.

But even then, every now and then there comes a day when you doubt an investment, usually when you learn something new or get headwinds from all sides, not least from the market itself. But it can also be helpful to be somewhat emotionally attached to a good investment, so that you are able to hold a bull's eye longer than +200% and maybe take a tenfold increase over 2 decades. Who knows. to your question: 4/10

0/10 As you have already written above if one trades according to a well-defined strategy and "bluntly" follow your strategy you do not need to be afraid or anything else. Provided that the strategy is profitable, trading emotionally is virtually a deadly sin on the stock market 😉

10!! If all objective factors are right, I must also find the company simply awesome!!! Only in this way can hangers be easily endured😉 When it comes down to it, I can then be the zero type sein✌️
