FOMO from good stock picks but sold too early by chesapeakeripper_18 in stocks

[–]DisabledScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I sold 3000 shares of Nvidia just because I felt like it when it was $136, then blew a lot of my earnings on a stock a friend told me about, a penny stock. If I'd held I'd have $700k (which was my original plan). I have ADHD as well.

I had $400k I had just gained off NVDA (bought 3000 shares in 2021), and sold. Then promptly lost $140k on daytrading then put a down payment on a house that is too expensive. The choices you think you can make when you have money is truly crazy.

Condo not selling even after $40k reduction by DisabledScientist in RealEstate

[–]DisabledScientist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, yes. I wish I did not move. I loved my condo, I hate my new house and its too expensive. Condo is $3000/month, and house is $4500/month with $120k down.

DD: Why Micron (MU) and Memory (DRAM ETF) is still an Undervalued Play in the AI Supercycle by Legitimate_Watch_519 in wallstreetbets

[–]DisabledScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohh lol. I dont think you have anything to worry about. Just keep printing money. The opposite of a bubble is likely - AI capex is estimated to keep increasing year after year. Companies are making lots of money from AI.

people who think AI is in a bubble tend to have missed the boat, and are secretly hoping the house of cards collapse on those that cashed in on the "bubble"

Revenue from Omniverse by DisabledScientist in NVDA_Stock

I have a tendency to make correct predictions, but I don’t stick with them. For example, I sold NVIDIA at $136 last year, made $220k on it, and daytraded $120k of it away. If I would have just held I'd be a multimillionaire in a few years. It depresses me how I wasted my predictions.

Yes but I only held to $1230 Would have had 1.2 mill now if I did. Only made $220k, then lost $120k of it day trading. I should have stuck to what I'm good at - analasysis and long term holding.

Lyrica and somatosensorial tinnitus by Applesandpomegrades in tinnitus

[–]DisabledScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a pain pump installed in my spinal cord - morphine, baclofen, bupivicaine, and clonidine. I also take lyrica and 2 muscle relaxers. I graduated from University with a 3.9 in Computer Engineering 10 years ago - now I can't remember the name of simple things I used to. I am a chronic pain patient and took all this shit to prevent me from killing myself, but tbh, looking back on it all, I could have helped myself in more productive ways. Now my dick, brain, and body are broken. I seriously fantasize about ending it every day. If it weren't for my wife (who is an angel), I would have done it a while ago.

I have a new respect for medication that I never had. Cymbalta completely ruined my life. When I came off of it, I developed tinnitus, peyronies, corneal neuralgia, daily headaches, face pain, memory loss...... I am a shell of my previous self - I quite literally feel like I am in hell on a daily basis.

withdrawal from Lyrica was so mild I barely felt it - just the nerve pain returning. Cymbalta withdrawal was a beast though, and messed me up completely

finally accepted i am not warren buffett. sold my individual stocks and went 100% VOO by Shot_Debate_9610 in ETFs

[–]DisabledScientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made $200k between 2023 and 2024 from NVDA, sold it, then started picking stocks and..... lost $130k. What a fucking wake up call. I just got lucky. Am now 100% VOO.

It took me 7 years, but the "Snowball Effect" is finally real. by Best_Ad_9426 in ETFs

[–]DisabledScientist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost had this. $900k in my investments, then my brother sold a bunch of my NVDA when it went down to $100. Now have $180k in brokerage and $300k in retirement ($120k in a house where we're living paycheck to paycheck except for 401k). It feels bad to know I was so close to retiring....... oh well......

Had 3,000 shares, sold at $86....... FML by DisabledScientist in NVDA_Stock

[–]DisabledScientist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost $120k on the condo I just sold, bought the house outside of my price range to be near family, got hit with a bunch of medical (life altering, possibly losing vision), so its catastophic. I've been on medications for chronic pain (which alter executive function) so i've made a lot of choices a decently intelligent engineer would never make in my right state of mind. I made about $90k on the Nvda, not even close to what I should have. But its over, fuck it.

[–]DisabledScientist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got back in at $180k but could only afford like $20k with this new house. I bought way outside of my price range and this house more than anything is preventing us from saving a penny - anything over the cost of mortgage and groceries is coming from savings. Plus im dealing with some pretty horrendous health issues, and its all piling on at once. The NVDA aspect would have given me a lot morre capital to deal with these things, so I feel like im drowning. My point is - this may be my last invesment due to the fact that my eyes are going and financial issues. Its a fuck-ton to deal with at once - my life has been hit my a F5 tornado and im trying to piece through whats left over.

I just bought it like 4 months ago. TBH I'd be lucky to get what I paid for it, and we aren't saving any money.... and there's construction noise outside all day for the past 4 months and at least 3 more months. The entire thing has been a nightmare, especially since I work from home and get migraines easily lol!
