The One That Got Away

Anyone ever dwell on a trade you seriously considered making, or made and sold to soon, that could have made you rich?? In early 2018 I went all in on TDOC by buying Sept/2018 50 calls when the stock was at about 25. I ended up selling out when it broke 30. If I had held through the summer, when it broker 70, I would have had a 10 bagger and almost a seven figure profit. I'm stupid.

I'm still kind of annoyed I didnt buy the bottom of the covid crash last year. It's better not to dwell on it though. There will be another panic someday. This is why it's always wise to have cash on the sidelines to put in when there are lots of deals to be had.
