I finally managed to sell all of my Schwab (SCHW) shares yesterday after holding on for what felt like an eternity. It was a huge relief and a great reminder that patience and emotional discipline can really pay off in the long run. When I first started buying the stock, the price dropped significantly, and my portfolio went deep into the red. But instead of panicking or selling at a loss, I decided to stay the course and even bought more shares to lower my average cost. Fast forward to yesterday—Schwab released an excellent earnings report, and the stock rallied. I took the opportunity to sell and walked away with a solid profit. It was a reminder that while strategy and discipline are key, sometimes timing and luck play a role too. Yesterday was definitely a good day for me. On top of th

NVIDIA's Stock: A Tale of Uncertainty and Resilience
NVIDIA ( $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ ), a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence, has consistently faced challenges and uncertainties, particularly in the realm of export controls imposed by the U.S. government. Despite these setbacks, the company's stock has demonstrated remarkable resilience, often rebounding from initial declines.
