A greener year ahead

Have I been able to sleep well during trades?

During the initial year of trading, there have been many distractions. From MEME stocks to crypto, they have been very exiciting days at the start.

$GameStop(GME)$ and $AMC Entertainment(AMC)$   has always been the highlight of the MEME stock. During those days, cash has been fast in and fast out. You could easily make thousands of dollars within few minutes. Once you snooze, you lose as well. I have been through both sides of the coin: green and red.

Here comes PANIC PANIC PANIC!

Here are the phases of the MEME stocks

1. The euphoria phase: You will earn lots of money in the beginning, thinking the cash will always roll in.

2. The FOMO phase: Once you sell, the stock get higher and higher.

3. The peak: Once you buy back in, the stock does not get higher. You have bought at the top.

4. Panic phase: The stock starts to crash or enter a halt preventing you to sell in time.

5. Anger and depressed phase: You will start to baghold the stock and think about “why so greedy?”
