I’m a very young investor and yesterday I truly thought boeing would collapse with the rest of the economy. So, I shorted it (only 5 shares cause I am very young and just wanted some money in there). Well, things didn’t go according to my plan, and my short essentially just went up rather than down. So, down $20, I decide to close the position as well. I’ve definitely learned that 1. I’m not a day trader and should not try to be. But 2. I need to do much more research and stop myself from acting erratically.
Just wanted some advice – when you guys are down even just the slightest percentages, are you mad at yourself for it? Obviously it’s not the end of the world and nowhere near it. But it’s just a little unsettling and I always want to be in the green. Thanks for the help!
