It's taken me 2.5 years to really get that if you buy a solid company ignore the short term price action and if the company's fundamentals don't change simply hold it.I was in $UPST @ $50 back in March and sold for a loss
bought at the bottom, then sold at the literal bottom. Be new to investing brehs
was also in $ILUS when it was 9 cents. Sold that for a loss too
The second lesson I had to learn is stop actively following the price of stocks I don't own. Much of me selling was driven by seeing the price of a different stock fall, not having the capital to buy, selling a stock I owned to buy into a new position.
Example. Sold Celsius to buy SoFi at $21 a share. SoFi fell into the mid-teens Celsius went from $62 to over $90. In fairness I had no conviction in Celsius and owned some SoFi and have a high conviction in it.
