Today from the category #anfängerfehler ❌
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 (+1.07%) : Sell price 80 (+18%) | Current price 116 (+72%)
$NB2 (+2.34%) : Selling price 14.20 (-21%) | Current price 19.40 (+8%)
$NFLX (+0.88%) : Selling price 304 (-7%) | Current price 391 (+20%)
$TSLA (+4.99%) : Selling price 182 (-7%) | Current price 227 (16%)
$AAF (+1.27%) : 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!
