sounds like you got a plan there. smiles smiles

once every couple years i try a quickie short term swing investment.... or rather, gamble.

i usually lose at these.

it is very much like ... I buy a lotto ticket when the prize gets up over a billion dineros.

i obviously always lose, of course.

or else I’d be typing this from my yacht in Tahiti

Haha - don’t feel bad. I do not at all exclude myself from that “every investor has dabbled...”!

I’ve nibbled - fortunately, in small bites only! - at the temptation to either catch a falling knife or grab a rocket ship too late.

Inevitably? Works out the same. Then I bang my head on my desk, “stupid, stupid, stupid. Why did you try that again?”.

So, I know of what you speak. It’s as if every year or 2? I need a refresher lesson... and then, I create one. For myself!
