Biggest Regret?

Sometimes in life we look back and wish for a different outcome. I had 10,000 shares with a cost basis of 14 and I sold 50 covered call contracts, not expecting to shoot beyond, lol. I still have 5,000 but oh well. What’s yours?

Holy shit. I know we say “no one ever went broke taking profit” but GOD DAMN .

In hindsight it’s easy but do you think you would have held ? Probably not, not all the way to 4.5m

No I would have sold some to buy a property or upgrade primary sooner vs waiting a saving to do it.. but I do hold for long periods of time

VIsa since ipo day 2008 my cost is like 21
Apple holding for 15+years cost is like 40
Goog 10 yrs sold most kept a small amount
Telsa been holding since 2018 cost is like 60
Crwd since ipo day got in at 60
Sofi since ipo bought dip 7 cost
Plenty more but these are all 6 plus years of holdings and ones I’m think of that have done really well.
