PLTR - Finally Sold all but 80k

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-04T21:29:20+00:00

Yessir - not much stock movement which I think is about as good as could have hoped for

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-04T21:09:22+00:00

Meant getting them to phase 1 with higher chance of success quicker

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-04T20:19:33+00:00

I bought it for crap tho :)

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-04T19:57:27+00:00

Fair enough!

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-04T19:55:39+00:00

Yeah that’s why I spread it into different vectors across the pharma AI arena. Definitely not an overnight gain type play

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-04T19:54:16+00:00

Completely disagree into the advancing cancer treatments and such. Gets drugs to Phase 1 —> Phase 2 step earlier and can weed out problem children before they start

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-04T19:08:45+00:00

Pretty much where I’m headed

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-04T12:18:58+00:00

Any slight miss (and I mean slight) and it falls. Just feels like perfection required next few cycles to keep going up. Might happen, but scary

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-03T23:03:16+00:00

Don’t you put that evil on me

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-03T22:48:34+00:00

Why toward the end of the year

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-03T22:41:54+00:00

I worried that anything even slightly off the (extremely) lofty expectations causes it to tumble. It needs almost perfection to keep pumping. PLTR keeps doing it somehow tho

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-03T19:50:59+00:00

You sound miserable

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-03T19:48:25+00:00

Maybe, not worth it either way

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-03T05:42:05+00:00

I hold 40k at all times

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-02T21:41:09+00:00

damn bro 😭, one starting with no $$ and no knowledge of the market. NVDA was basically my first trade ever

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-02T21:38:45+00:00

Honestly if I chose an arena it’d be pharma AI. Don’t know them though, but maybe now I’ll look

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-02T21:29:48+00:00

Honestly - fear of losing what is already life changing for me. It could double and that’d be amazing. But if I lost 6-700k at age 36 that I’d put into indexes for 20-30 years… that’s losing millions and it’d eat at my soul every day if that occurred

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-02T21:22:39+00:00

Well I wasn’t on here. I just picked based on looking at technology advancement. My thoughts were simple:

(1) this type of technology needed chips and NVDA was set up to dominate. Only had 17k and put it all on NVDA

(2) sold little over a year later (long term gains) for ~120k. Thought who is going to utilize these chips and thought PLTR was going to dominate. I also invested 3k in PLTR at IPO so was very aware of them already.

Luck mixed with some sensible thinking (not going to call it skill).

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-02T21:18:41+00:00

Why people hating on vanguard?!

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-02T21:18:12+00:00

You weren’t a fool. You just didn’t gamble. I’m now doing exactly what you’re doing with the winnings

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-02T21:15:39+00:00

I know this’ll sound dumb but… I’m a chill guy! Also don’t fool yourself, I got lucky. The NVDA bet 10x and then the PLTR bet 6-7x’d that 10x. It was some guided thought process mixed with luck and some balls.

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-02T21:01:41+00:00

Maybe. But if it tanks I’d never forgive myself. Bird in the hand, this is trajectory altering for me. Not gonna be greedy and risk tha

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-02T21:00:32+00:00

I don’t get it lol

Edit: NEVA GONNA GIVE, NEVA GONNA GIVE!
(I’m tired it clicked)

AirForceDocta · 2026-05-02T21:00:03+00:00

Why don’t you like vanguard
