I suppose life is about learning lessons, but this one is a bitter pill to swallow to be entirely honest
I’m seeing the market bounce back after what seemed like an eternity of falling. It is too disappointing that I sold the nice stocks that I had previously, however I didn’t know it was going to come back in such a fashion. If I held them, right now I would have about $55k, but as it stands now I am down to a mere $4k. I got stung rather badly this past year, however I suppose pretty much everyone has a year where they made all of the worst decisions & lost a chunk of money like I did. It doesn’t make me feel better knowing the local corporation lost a fair amount of money too, I still feel angry about losing my Heating, Ventilation, & A/C rep mother’s money that she gave me when she died. I can only rest on my stock & wait for it to come back up to the point I will be able to sell it & be done with this terrible investing strategy of mine. I should have worked at the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C device corporation & kept that money in the bank like momma told me to do. I can’t tell her I lost it or she will basically disown me. I’ll just keep doing furnace cleaning & selling my HEPA filters online so that I can get a buffer in the bank again like I should have at the moment. I suppose life is about learning lessons, but this one is a bitter pill to swallow to be entirely honest. My central furnace is on its way out & it would be pretty wonderful if I can buy a new Heating, Ventilation, & A/C device for my flat next year.
