Hamstering
So here I will write and update on my level-upping as amateur on the market.
First in august 2020 probably I got some BA, oil and mostly boring military stocks. And I holded them. Then I beleive at the president election there was some run that I missed probably.
Then there was a vaccine news and I holded for one more day and sold. And missed some good actual run from that point.
Then in november or december I was in cash waiting for crash :). Got some long-term SPCE position because of the new frontier and possible future value of high-technology used there. Also I tried some dividend stocks at the time.
Then by comparing what didivend stocks provide to what SPCE jumps do I got totally converted into growth stocks overall and SPCE specifically.
Then I just bought and hodled. So until this time I missed three good peaks and yesterday I sold not at the peak but at a rational price anyway.
TLDR my path:
- holding -> fixing
- fixing -> holding :)
- hodling -> fixing, not being married to a stock, rational approach
Or another angle:
- dividends idea felt good (laziest thing in the world) -> growth stocks are the thing
- married-hodling a paper for gainz -> rational measured approach (incremental, not lazy, requires further reading and execution)
Also right now it is not about depo size but individual gains size.
Anyway as a programmer I have some nice ideas too so the whole thing looks exciting.
