Yes, dear community. With all the 100% and more that I post here, you might think that I don't make any mistakes. Oh yes, there are! Rarely, but they do happen.
What is the mistake and what do I learn from it?
Normally I always trade very speculative stocks with high chances of profit and risk of loss.
In the summer, I decided to go for a conservative consumer stock with $COST (+1,13 %) with a long-term classic warrant and normal profit opportunities.
Due to these factors, I allowed myself to be tempted to simply let the position run further and further into the red, because I thought the long term and $COST (+1,13 %) is a good value. But shit! I won't be touching such boring stocks with pliers in future. Neither as a share nor as a derivative. I prefer my high-risk positions. I have strict risk management there.
So joking aside. It may be incomprehensible to many, but even for people like me: stick to your last. Do what works for you. And that is high risk with small caps and tech, as well as commodities.
But that's how the loss pot was filled a little, or a few profit taxes were recovered.
I only had 2 stocks in my portfolio that were heavily in the red. That's not much at 70. I'm still confident that I can reduce the loss on the second one, which is a classic OS on $TXT (+1,28 %) .
