Exited at break-even cuz dumbass
Isn't that the way though, you believe the market has over punished something that has good fundamentals or a good foreseeable future in the long-term but short term you lose because you don't time the bottom correctly, end up feeling like you caught a knife and are just happy to get the fuck out when you hit even, even though your initial analysis told you it should go beyond that and for some reason that dip past what you thought was the bottom completely changed how you thought about the stock.
Humans, we are emotional beings, we ignore our own logic so easily the second we lose.
I did the same thing with the SNC-Lavilin scandal, thought it timed the bottom knowing Quebec would never let their darling company actually go under considering how much the provincial gov't and companies in Quebec hold SNC-Lavilin in their pension funds, but it kept going down, and eventually i went slightly above my cost so i sold out, would have nearly a 100% gain if I just kept to my own logic because of course , as predicted Quebec didn't let it tank, but I couldn't hold to my own logic because of that initial unrealized loss. Makes you doubt everything.
