I have the opposite of FOMO (fear of missing out). I have fear of making a bad decision. Which actually makes me make bad decisions. I wanted to buy AAPL & Tesla before earnings were announced & convinced myself not to, due to maybe possibly being wrong.
And when I do buy something I always sell it too early. I sold Monster Energy drinks the WEEK before Coke bought them out (a while back) and the stock like doubled. So I end up buying VOO & IVW & QQQ & dividend stocks because they’re are safer.
Anyone have a pep talk to help me pull the trigger? Mainly, what do you tell yourself if you think “it’s gone up too much,it’s too high”? It’s not make-or-break money. I have at least 10x in my 401k. It’s just the principle of winning v losing,I guess?
