Could have, would have bicycle chain - Part 3

In February I had already https://app.getquin.com/de/post/NjjHSSTOYO/hatte-hatte-fahrradkette-teil-2-was-ware-gewesen-wenn how much money I would have lost if I had panicked and sold at $NVDA (-6.14%) at 113 euros (and - even worse - bought back at 133 euros).


Then NVIDIA fell again from 133 euros, this time to 97 euros or so. And now imagine if I had sold again in a panic, at around 100 euros (psychological limit). I would probably slap myself bloody - I can't even imagine how angry I would be.


What did I do instead?


Absolutely nothing. At least not with NVIDIA. But I briefly shorted Tesla, albeit far too early ("Charmin, you didn't want to gamble anymore!!!"), and with my favorites $NTG (-1.95%) , $FSK (-1.85%) etc. and bought more.


Sure, you can now shout: "But imagine if you had sold NVIDIA at 130 euros and bought it again at 97 euros - you missed the opportunity."


Such comments usually come from those who always knew better *after the fact*. You can't give anything but a pitying smile to such comments. Nobody can predict the future. No charts. No analysts. No noobs. No old hands. No one.


If I had to guess: I currently interpret the signs as meaning that the correction will come to an end in the next few weeks - at least for those stocks that are fundamentally in a good position (which does not include, for example: $TSLA (-6.86%) ).

The ones who don't have the balls to go in are usually the ones who call "would have". And if you have the balls to go in, you have to get used to the would-have-been mindset very quickly.
