Long story short: I have some unrealised gains on stocks that I bought time ago (AMAT and ASML).
I was multiple times on the verge of selling (totally or partially) to realise gains that I could invest in another opportunity with better potential. However, every time one of these opportunities came up, I ended up always retracting and not doing so, because I didn’t want to “give-up” to the long-term perspective I committed when I started in this.
Sadly, with opportunities I mean Meta falling like crazy 1.5 years ago for the overreaction to the decrease in user registrations, Nvidia at 200 (before split), or Netflix also dropping to 180 in mid-2022. Recently, I was about to do the same to buy a chunk of TSLA. But fear always gets me.
I know, everything is about risk tolerance. Maybe I am not made for this, who knows. However, I would be happy to know your opinion about this. I really want to take the chance if I believe that is the right choice. Any state of mind that helps you clicking in the sell button? I’m just tired of missing opportunities just for being afraid.
Thanks!
