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!
