Mine was lack of experience and knowledge of the market. I jumped rite in last December buying what was in the Greene and sounded good.
Didn't check to see if these stocks had been rising for a while or what the market was expected to do after first of the year.
then when everything started to slide I panicked.  Then the emotional trading started. Lasted a couple of days until I realized and read in courses about emotional buying. So I stopped everything. I am just sitting with what I have. I feel the stocks I have now will last and take an upward turn or stabilize soon.
For now down close to 900 in red.
