    What’s one stock you sold way too early and still regret it ?

    Man, I was looking through some old phone screenshots earlier today and kinda got that stupid sinking feeling again lol.
    There’s always that one stock you sold way too early, right? Like at the time it felt “smart” or I convinced myself I was locking in profits, and now when I look at where it is today I just shake my head.

    Mine was NVDA. I swear I wasn’t even planning to sell it, I just got nervous one random day and clicked sell without thinking too much. Biggest unforced error ever. Still annoys me when I remember it.

    Not asking for advice or anything like that… I’m just curious which stock you guys let go too soon and still kinda regret whenever you see its chart pop up somewhere.

      OKLO at IPO release. Was purely gambling on the IPO rocketing and it went down like 45% or something. Top two dumbest things I’ve done in my stocks history

      Facebook. At IPO prices. Tesla eons ago.

      I took some profit share of NVDA way back when but that’s tough to second guess.

      Nvidia sold at 145, the worst part is I bought some shitty stock with the profit and lost some money there

      Bitcoin and Nvidia are usually the most common answers every time this is posted. But the question is bad because this is a poor way to think about investing. This feels like the type of buy-a-lottery-ticket-so-I-can-dream-about-riches energy that belongs somewhere like r/hypotheticalsituation.

      I sold google once I was already up like 80%. It has climbed another 25% since then..

      $1000 worth of FB stock at IPO pricing around $33 a share.

      Also a biotech stock, Arena… $1000 of shares around $12 a share.

      bought a bunch of NVDA in 2012, cos i’m a gamer, believed in its growth, and NVDA was the only viable GPU maker. sold it all in 2014 thx to financial advisor, “too much exposure!”

      he wasn’t wrong. but man…..

      $Fix. I had a large chunk of my portfolio in it at $400 at the beginning of the year. I went on vacation and set a stop loss around $300 and it hit when the tariff nonsense happened.

      Bought Meta under $100, a year later sold it at $250. I walked around that day thinking I’m the next Warren Buffet. A couple of years later it’s over $700. This is going to happen to everyone! That’s why you gotta ask yourself if this is a long term investment or short term.

      My first pick when I turned 18 was Sofi😂
      22 now wishing I focused in it more. I bought maybe a few shares at $6.8

      MU, had call options for earnings a week out after earnings, it stayed flat post earnings so I sold all of it. Only to see it was in the money 3 days later and missed out on around 1.8k gains

      My PACS calls last week at $25 netting $8.5k profit, would be about double right now

      I bought apple for $54 and sold at $72 in early 2000s. Thought I was a genius. Did something similar for Broadcom as well around the same time.
