Brutal truth: I’ve made more money holding through crashes than selling near tops.
September 2021 I sold my bag thinking I was genius for taking profits. Market kept pumping another 60% without me. Bought back higher like an idiot.
March 2023 I held through banking crisis FUD while everyone panicked. Up 300% from that entry now.
The pattern is obvious in hindsight but impossible to execute in real time. Emotions wreck your strategy every single time.
Best decisions I made were the ones where I did nothing. Worst decisions were when I tried to be clever and time things perfectly.
This market rewards patience and punishes cleverness. Took me years to accept that.
What’s your biggest “should’ve just held” regret? We’ve all got one.
