Moved from trading to investing. Question about losing positions.

Years ago I spent half a decade attempting to be a swing trader. Over time I realized that buy and hold was superior. I decided to take a long term approach. Not checking the tickers daily. This Buffet quote resonated with me: "If you aren't willing to own a stock for 10 years, don't even think about owning it for 10 minutes." So I began to accumulate stocks that I thought had potential to be big winners in a decade. However, a lot of these were Cathie Wood type stocks (i.e. SQ, COIN, DKNG, CRSP). I was also influenced a bit by hype and bought some stocks at elevated levels (ASTS, RIOT, SOFI). I liked the thetagang strategy of selling puts at a price where I thought I'd be happy to buy the stock at a discount - but this is part of what put me into some positions at elevated levels ($Z, DKNG, CRSP, $F).

Is this normal experience for a lot of investors? $AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$ $Riot Blockchain, Inc.(RIOT)$ $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ $DraftKings Inc.(DKNG)$ $CRISPR Therapeutics AG(CRSP)$

    AI, EV n crypto are irrefutable eventualities of our future world (won't be wrong to say immediate future). So that gives u a fair idea of the 3 long race horses to bet on 😉

    事实上,我做多那些商业模式/价值对我有意义的股票(真正的价值投资)。然而,十年的时间太长了。你需要为长期投资和短期/近期目标对冲你的投资组合。基于这些分类,你可以分配基金,同样基于你的风险偏好。



    我上面说的并不是什么新鲜事。关键是,是的,价值投资确实在所有意义上都是优越的+不要复制某人的投资组合(例如凯西)或跟随他们的脚步。这对你来说也是一个错误。例子凯西严重n仍然破坏人工智能部门的巨大未来潜力。她并没有把赌注押在Nvidia的基础上,而是在寻找廉价的替代品,其中一些甚至与人工智能(例如 $UiPath(PATH)$ )。
    她在破土动工的巅峰时刻抛弃了英伟达。
