My biggest investment mistake so far: On 1.4.2022 I boldly jumped into the $QQQ3 (+3,25%) (3x Nasdaq 100). Without stop loss na logo. Yolo. Msw suitable action. In the meantime it looks like I could get away with a black eye. On the day with +/- 0 I will make three xxx.


What annoys me: path dependence and negative interest rate ensured that I am still 25% in the red. And that although the flight level of 01.04.2022 in the unlevered course is already reached again.


Instead of great Nvidia successes, here is a place for shame: Which zombie do you still have in your portfolio with a bitter loss, where you long for a day +/- zero?

Um, I still have 3 x $COIN in stock. Bought at 250€/piece 😵‍💫. But there I no longer wait for improvement. I chalk it up to a rookie mistake

@Ich_Lerne Hi, I would not do that. These 3 pieces are worth 150 EUR as of today, they won't kill you, will they? Maybe they will go up again sometime. I would just let such small amounts rest. 😊

@Ich_Lerne I'm delighted. It doesn't always make sense to reject immediately! Thanks for the feedback.

I also had a giant pig once. Sold Wirecard at a profit before the company imploded 😀

Laugh. Oh there are still a few, but I rarely wait until they are back to plus/minus zero, because many will not make it with respect. Sell the always to offset the profits of other positions tax against. Out the sh...! As an example my biggest "graypod" is an option on Varta! I just can't get rid of it because the bill is no longer worth a euro. Must wait there probably until the end of the term.🥹

@GordonGekko83 I have also just a few months ago Varta sold. Entry at ~110, watched until 180 and then participated in the crash. From about 4,000 € buy-in were still 780 € left (plus a bit of dividends from the last few years). I was much too naive at the time.

The hype with Varta I have noticed but not participated. What actually happened that Varta is so smeared there?

@TopperHarley Competition from the Far East. It was thought that the technology in the field of wireless headphones, especially for in-ears, would be outstanding and that the rest of the market would not be able to keep up for the time being.

Something similar happened to me with a bet on the oil price. Before the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, the oil price fell because the OPEC countries were once again not in agreement. I thought, yes, you can go in and take something good. Then came Corona, everything was dead and the oil price has crashed massively🤝🤣 After interim -50% and more I am out at 0 and have only a small position continue to run and later sold at +20%.

@giraffidae I also had a similar scenario, but during the Corona crisis. I went into a 5 times long call at a barrel price of around 20 dollars. Thought me lower it will no longer. Oil is needed and the world will not end. Consequence on the futures markets two weeks later oil was virtually given away. 95% in the miesen been and actually then everything with 20% plus sold. However, too early, then came yes 5-6 months later the war in Ukraine. Would have been more than a doubler.🙈 So plays the music sometimes😆

Not everything can be successful, so I also realize losses when I am no longer convinced of the company. A few shares are also a little red with me but what the heck, brings color to the portfolio 😜 I'm just trying warrants, sometimes good, sometimes less good, but so far clearly positive.

I had a few yolo stocks and sold them heartlessly and restructured. I don't wait for 0 if I have a better idea to reallocate the remaining money. but I bought one of them again (with a much lower weighting). Let's see what happens with it.

It is what it is 🤷🏽‍♂️$TKA -53.22% (🎢📉)$SNH -91.82% (deposit was already skimmed 📈, so not really loss)$PHE -87,05% (the idea of clean energy ⚡️🔋 from waste ♻️ I still like 😅)$ACB -99.21% (reminder that you should skim instead of slipping when you're in the black 📉 😵‍💫)

The 3x Nasdaq continues to be very interesting to me. In conjunction with the "200 day line strategy". I just don't dare to start at the moment....

@Daxjaeger yes I also assume that the ath is taken and I can finish the project without damage. Then regrouping in etf.

@TopperHarley I'll be honest, I'd be waiting for some good news Large part of the market is pricing in interest rate cuts this year, Fed says there won't be any If it stays that way, it will go down really hard with minimal false inflation or so

Why are you worried here? NASDAQ will continue to rise in the long term and the capital will multiply. Take a look at the long-term chart of QQQ3. Path dependency doesn't matter when prices are rising in the long term.

Risk management should always be the first thing you learn in the stock market. The good thing is, you can learn it practically. You wrote something about SL, so all good 👌

For me it is $DHER. While Corona super performed, thought the profits were hedged with a stop loss. Have unfortunately accidentally set only a daily order and so I have taken the 70% price drop 🥸

But you should slowly be back in the plus again? Can you explain in more detail what's bothering you?
••
Topper H.@TopperHarley

@Kalle2 unfortunately no, path dependence and negative interest turn the stronger into the minus. I am 22% in the minus although Nasdaq 100 1x considered on starting position from the purchase is. I must be balanced towards ATH. I'm not too worried at the moment with the current movement. I also see the future profits at Tech inflation-considered significantly higher which automatically pushes the prices further up, even if a small recession comes now. Prices will not return to the exit.

@TopperHarley What do you think of a savings plan on this ETF? In the long term, there should be a lot of money to be made?
••
Topper H.@TopperHarley

@Kalle2 There are exciting YouTube videos on this, take a look. Basically, this works, the problem is - as always - if you buy at the wrong time. In certain constellations, a 3x leveraged ETF can then trigger a total loss. In a long upswing phase like before 2020, the nasdaq 100 was 3x investment porn 😄

@TopperHarley Total loss is hardly possible. After all, it is not a knock-out certificate.

@Kohlmeyse if it goes down too far, which I don't think it will, a 3x leveraged ETF may be mathematically difficult / extremely difficult to reach the initial value.
