The Lesson of Patience and Conviction

In 2020, I invested in a company I believed in—my 4th-best-performing holding. Its fundamentals were strong, but when the storm hit in 2022, doubt crept in. The market turned bearish, sentiment soured, and even my own conviction wavered [Sigh] I hesitated, missing the chance to dollar-cost average (DCA) when prices were low[Sigh]

Yet, time revealed the truth. The company's solid foundation carried it through the turbulence, rewarding those who held—or better yet, bought—when others feared [Serious]

The lesson? Fundamentals endure. Market sentiment is fickle, but a strong business weathers the storm. Next time, I'll trust the research, mute the noise, and let discipline guide me—not emotion [Victory]

*Regret fades, but wisdom remains.*[Cool]

Massive AI spend and talent hoarding. Bare impact with tariffs. They are able to monetize from past AI capex spending. Best top and bottom line

nice little dead cat to s and p 6360 to fill Fridays down gap before heading lower. Hopefully we get to 765 for a nice little profit before heading down
