Mine is missing out on Reddit’s IPO. I got an email leading up to it saying that accounts with a certain amount of karma could buy in at the underpriced level usually reserved for institutional investors.
I think it was in $30s. Reddit opened at $46 and has exploded since. I doubt I would have had the fortitude to not sell immediately, but I sometimes check their chart and kick myself. I ended up buying it during the Iran War dip in the $120s.
What’s an investment opportunity you spotted, didn’t pull the trigger on, and now regret.

2008. Citibank dipped under a dollar. We had $10k in savings and I wanted to put 1/2 on Citibank. He refused. He is my ex now. Idiot
kinda the same. i bought palantir at 35. 5 shares.
VLO when it crashed to around $36 in 2020. I had the money, I knew the company, yet, I didn’t buy.
It went over $245 a few weeks ago.
WDC @ $40, $65, then $100.
MU @ $225 in Dec
Dell @ $115 in Dec
95% of us regret not going in more during the Iran war dip
Mstr when it fell below 100. I had price target there but got greedy and wanted to wait until 80
Not a stock, but my dad convinced me not to buy $8k of bitcoin at $0.14 apiece.
Sandisk split from WD
Not buying Bitcoin in 2014 when the security guard at the company I work for said “hey, you want to get in on something that is gonna take off”..
Bitcoin. I went to mine it in like 2010, but cancalled because my computer was screaming and I needed it for WOW raids. One day of mining back then would have been like 300 coins a day,. Was work something like .0025. I remember doing a calculator if it was even worth the electricity.
Lots of stocks I got into late, but could have got into so so much earlier. Like Google IPO I knew about, but didn’t act on. I bought META at IPO and sold in a trade a little later. Bought PLTR at IPO and sold and made money. SHOP at IPO, but sold into the run up. TSLA I knew about before it went public and when it was worth more than Toyota, I was like pfft nevermind this.
My personal lesson has been that when when Ive done the research, buy and don’t sell. I did get back into most of those stocks and the % is still good, but it could have been much better.
A friend approached me about bitcoin when it was at $400. I said how fucking stupid is that..
VRT
I started investing around 2005 and my first shares were companies whose products or services I used and liked. Including Amazon. I had access to roughly $10k I could have used. I thought that was way too much to spend on volatile individual stocks. I bought a handful of shares at around $2 apiece.
Had 400 shares of PLTR at $8 when i thought it was a meme.

Yum! Brands in 2009
You’re not talking to somebody who woke up a loser. That loser attitude, that loser premise makes no sense to me. We are not a car. We are not a car.
I owned WBD for a year – sold it for 100% gain…the week before the Netflix bidding war began.
Bitcoin. I knew about in 2011 and nearly pulled the trigger because of Silk Road. But then I got scared of the law.
Not buying RKLB at $4
RDDT
Selling 2000 amd shares back in 2017
Mine was options on TSLA and NVDA during the tariff drop last year. I can’t say I regret it now as I’ve made other decisions since then but at one point yes I regretted the gains I could’ve madd
