it's all about perspective ladies and gentlemen. you wouldn't beat yourself up over missed out opportunties if you keep in mind the number of bullets you've dodged by not jumping on board all the other "to the moon" investments that have turned to shit after some unexpected bad news or findings about the individuals involved in the project. besides, there is never just one buy in opportunity for anything that is worth investing in. if you missed out on some overnight gains, start paying closer attention. figure out what was so obvius and promising that you missed or ignored prior to the run up (it cannot be just the comnents or some reddit thread). once you miss enough of thse you will start to figure your chances a little better. and most importantly, learn to be patient and let your investments play out rather than selling as soon as you're in the red. everything that goes up must come down but you also cant take off unless you're at the ground level so to say. a lot of people think investing is going to be a magic profit button where you type in a number and that number is going to double for them so they can get a quick lambo. it just ain't so. and if your goal is to buy a lambo, you must be some kind of a dumbass. Id rather invest that money than spend it on somthing that will immediately lose a quarter of its value, then continue to decline each year with no exception, and if that wasn't bad enough, fuel and insurace are going to cost you more than what you'll be able to make with the remaining $300 portfolio that you'll be left with after buying your stupid little sportscar.

Yes the starting point is taking a look at support and resistances as well as the bid and the ask, but how is your decision made. What's your thought process?
