Selling stocks too early
I genuinely don’t know how to move on from the regret of selling too early.
Bought at around $76/share. I had 23 units and sold 17 of them way too early because I thought I was being “responsible” and locking in profits.
Now it’s approaching $1000/share.
Every time I see the chart, I keep calculating what my portfolio could’ve been if I just held on. It’s painful because I actually believed in the company long term, but the fear of losing gains got to me.
What makes it worse is that I wasn’t completely wrong about the company,I was just emotionally unable to sit through the volatility and uncertainty.
I know profit is profit, but mentally it still feels like I lost something huge.
It’s been 8 months and I still haven’t moved on from this.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of regret before? How did you eventually move past it?
I kept on comforting myself 'well at least i still held 7 units' but it still stings alot. 😢
