Gambler or long-term plan?

What have you invested for a little fun or for the long term with future potential? I started with a mini-job salary of €1.40 and sold too early.

I have more casino tickets

$OCGN (-2,54 %)

$ACAN (-1,44 %)

$BYW6 (+2,09 %) Difficult thing. Buy in 7. now at 2.50

$VUL (-7,31 %)

$1810 (-5,23 %) Unfortunately my buy in went up quite a bit due to a savings plan. Had hoped for more than I thought.

I try to find the golden mean between holding longer and selling early enough. The fear of missing out is great!

Casino only works, if at all, with clear position and risk management. You don't seem to have either. So you have to take all the psycho traps there are (e.g. sell winners, hold losers) and leave many a mini-job wage on the stock market - until you give up or work systematically. 🤷

@Epi Well, my casino shares are only a small part. Most of it is invested in dividends, ETFs and bonds. I can no longer sink my mini-job salary because I no longer wanted the job and didn't really need the last salary anyway. Don't get me wrong, there's always room for money in my account, but I just wanted to play a bit more. With Xiaomi I just shat in it haha. Now hold for the long term until I like the profit.
If you don't sell when you lose, there is no loss or something like that

I invest systematically for the long term. No gambles. No chip shops.
The riskiest thing I have in my portfolio is a small position in Bitcoin.
I don't want to burn money unnecessarily.

@Metis But you've given up on the dream of suddenly being rich the day after tomorrow, haven't you? 😏

@Epi I never had that dream. 🤣

@Metis rather in larger companies with a high market capitalization or sometimes something smaller or even China. The word "China" tends to scare people. I got into Xiaomi for the first time at €2. And had the plan to save for the long term (probably a mistake now?). I found the expansion plans to Europe interesting as they are broadly positioned like Samsung, now even broader with the car division.
