My first months as a semi-active investor are over and already a first résumé of a whole series of expected beginner mistakes can be written!📖


In addition to a too high transaction urge (around 80 in 4 months excl. savings plans), my chronic restlessness😰 at falling prices and the hope of a favorable re-entry ruined some of my returns💰.


Here are my Top 5 selling fails of the last 4 months:


$AMD (-2.48%) : Sell price 80 (+18%) | Current price 116 (+72%)


$NB2 (+1.75%) : Selling price 14.20 (-21%) | Current price 19.40 (+8%)


$NFLX (+1.92%) : Selling price 304 (-7%) | Current price 391 (+20%)


$TSLA (+1.2%) : Selling price 182 (-7%) | Current price 227 (16%)


$AAF (+1.75%) : Sell price 1.38 (+8%) | Current price 1.51 (+18%)


What do I learn from this: keep fingers still and trust my original idea when entering. My holding periods on sold shares are consistently less than 2 months, so far too short 🆘. The fact that almost all my sales have now risen again significantly is of course due to the good market situation 🚀


Dear #anfänger , you are not alone with your mistakes!

The good thing is, you're not alone 😅. This run profits, limit losses has also cost me piles of money. Adidas sold at 2000 minus, now I would be 2000 in plus. 🤷🏻‍♂️ What bores me the most, I knew they would come back up and let myself be influenced by so-called finfluencers and magazines. I don't do that anymore. 😎

Thanks for sharing the mistakes...I also made the mistake of selling Nvidia and ASML months ago. After a few weeks came the rapid rise.

Thanks for sharing with the community 🙌 And it's only mistakes if you do not learn from it!

Cheer up. Now you are smarter and the money you lost, you have spent to educate yourself. You won't make that mistake again so quickly. Just get everything back in.
