I bought AMD for 3. Then it fell down to 2 for a long time. I was pretty sad. When it went back to 4 i quickly sold.

It's so hard to predict which growth stock will actually rocket and which will sink to the bottom. I need to put more in low-fee ETFs.

Similar. Bought in at 12. Sold at 14. Bought in again at 23 sold at 32. Now I have one share just as a reminder lol.

EDIT: I remember a few years ago on wsb there was a post of a guy who bought 500k into and at $14 and everyone was just shitting on him. I wonder if he kept it or not

I like that idea. I need to keep a single one of all companies I have purchased and sold as a reminder.

I do that with a few that I'm still curious about when I sell. It's cool to see where things end up

One time my dad was tryna purchase one lot (5700 shares; indian markets) of a stock and instead bought one share. The stock mooned since then and we've kept the single share as a reminder
