thread... share yours ;-)
We all have them - those opportunities that sting because the setup was right there, but we hesitated, overrode, or timed it wrong. Sharing our top 5-10 from 2025 with charts, rationale, and lessons. Pure growth, no ego.
What’s YOUR biggest investing miss or hardest lesson this year?

- $TLO / $TLOFF Strong signal at ~$0.055 - massive volume breakout + perfect momentum (chart below). We ignored our own system and followed external advice. Result: Missed a huge run. Lesson: Trust our process over outside noise. Always. Ever ignored your gut/signal and regretted it? Chart below.
- $LAC Our deep lithium dive ranked it top 3 with strong fundamentals. We allocated to $ALB & $SQM instead (better insider buying + diversification bet). Hindsight: $LAC massively outperformed. Lesson: High-conviction thematics deserve real sizing - don’t over-diversify away the winners.
- $CRV & $BONK Discretionary buys chasing rotation - directly against our system signals. Risk management on Oct 10th saved us from worse, but still closed red. Lesson: FOMO overrides kill edge over time. Discipline > anticipation.
- $RGTZ & $IONZ (leveraged short vehicles) Early Nov entry nailed the drop - peaked +80% and +50% unrealized. Decay + volatility bleed erased it all. Closed breakeven/loss. Lesson: Daily-reset leveraged products demand ruthless timing. Decay is brutal.
What’s your toughest timing or leverage lesson of 2025? More misses 5, 6... and on + charts dropping in replies as we go.
