Patito’s misadventures in the Stock Market

Back when I started investing (ehmm… earlier this year) I thought 🚀 meant “no brainer deal.”


So I jumped into $BBAI (-9,8 %) at full speed:


• Bought at a “nice” entry price

• Bought even more and then more at an all-time high! ‼️

• Realized the hype cooling off too late (holding bags they call it?)


With barely any understanding of fundamentals, I threw in real money because “AI is the future,” right?


Zero portfolio managing.


That means Patito held through the gut-wrenching lows…

(-20, -30, -40, -50, -60%) 😭

Waited… hoped… watched the chart dance like a rollercoaster 🎢 for days and weeks and months… thinking if recovery would happen would be by 2050 😅


I was holding 250 shares, feeling every cent tick like a heart monitor.


Eventually, (yesterday) I sold most of my position after some staggered exits last week and ended breakeven — exhausted but wiser. And happy to leave the rollercoaster!


🎓 Lesson?

• 🚩 High hype ≠ high quality

• 🧠 No strategy = high anxiety

• 📉 Hope is not a recovery plan


But I didn’t quit.

I learned.

And Patito kept paddling 🦆📈

PS. Today, I float the remaining 15 shares at zero cost, a symbolical trophy of a newbie trade that almost broke me.


$BBAI (-9,8 %) to the moon? 🚀

Been in this stock for about a yer, a total roller coaster. I believe is quite a long term play, so don't really mind. Got a nice entry price, and I expect it to trade consistenly way above IPO price. Jump in, enjoy the ride, and lets see where this take us on 2026. Join the sub reddit.

@decearenas my first entry price was 3.48 😅 yes I’ve been a silent watcher of the subreddit (of Reddit in general, I deleted my account to avoid actively engaging in subreddits hehe)
I still have some personal conviction on it (thus the remaining 15 shares) but i definitely shouldn’t have allocated so much funds initially to the hype 🫣 and now it scores way low in my scoring system so I’ll keep my allocations away from BBAI for now
