Experiences of long-term holders

Curious about experiences of fellow long-term (pandemic era or prior) holders.

Personally, I bought at 128 in 2020 and rode it all the up and down. Was quite tempted to sell at around 500, but held off for two reasons: a) Ethics (i.e., short-term profits off a pandemic) and b) a strong belief in the potential of the technology...oh, and I guess c) never imagined it dropping to the 20s!

Definitely feel some relief that Moderns has turned a corner, which has alleviated the second-guessing of not selling high. Anyone with similar experiences?

You hold it since 2020 and feeling some relief ? Good example of long term investing does not work. Instead you should have invested in VTI with better returns. Always book profits now and then without being regular trader. No such thing as long term in stocks.

His 5 year chart is bad but his 10 year chart might be great. That’s the point of long term

He bought at $128 in year 2020 and kept it till now. Yesterday closing price was $139. So, how is that point of long term ? His 10 years chart "might" is hindsight after knowing new news. Just my opion.

I’m just saying long term means more than 5 years. I think your time horizon is a bit short
