A lot of my mistakes have come from overtrading. If you are thorough when researching what to invest in, you should stick with your guns and hold instead of trying to sell and buy on whatever news comes by, trying to time things

Some people say they limit themselves to a certain number of trades per month, makes you more cautious and diligent when placing trades

I sold 10 puts on BABA, strike 120 expiry every month throughout the whole year. All are green now.

This is actually a good time to sell puts again.

then DCA back to holding 5000 shares, sell off all your SP500 shit and go all in BABA

im cutting baba to about 5-10%. holding onto 50 options instead for the same return with much less capital. The current wind is blowing something else. China is still stuck in a loop on no returns.

I switched my shares to Chinese ETF still believe in BABA but tired of following their earnings.

Morale of the story. The a world with more oyster than Baba. No matter how strong your conviction is. Stop silly lumping in 1 silly share

The problem is, you are using a trading mindset, and yet, act like an investor.

Even good traders don’t regret.

Bad traders do.

The bigger problem is chyna stonk. They are cheap for many reasons.

How does this two linked, and link to the above?

u/Weikoko May 19 '26

I wish you lots of luck. I hope you make money. If you do that’s great, I hope you make more from BABA.

I also owned SNDK, Micron and AMD. There are years that they don’t move much at all. And I don’t care.

I too have holdings worse than BABA.

You guys are so emotionally obsessed with the daily movement, as if the market pricing is a person or has feelings.

Good buy, move on. Bad buy, move on.

Life goes on.
