if I may, you are spot on. The best way to move forward with stocks, in my opinion, is to stick with the flow of the most recent times. For instance, since March, we've witnessed in almost EVERY ticker, huge sells in the 10%-20% range, FAR less long term holding (at least, for the PRESENT)
Like in traffic, I say "go with the flow", to ensure profits, tho minimal as some of them may or will be, it ENSURES profits are Realized.
I am RIGHT there with you, chunky. When it comes to stocks, at least :^) I've done well, no denying that, but this brother I mentioned had a couple of those compound wins (20M BRT* 0003 sold above 03 for starters) while I had way too much money parked in VRU* which is one I have no reservations in calling a scam. But CBB* I think I sold for +100% at about 0047, he held millions for over 10 CENTS!!!
Oh there is one more that is near and dear to me (I've mentioned it on here quite a bit) OZS*. It took over a merger from a halted ticker this EXACT same way, only holders of the former ticker got NOTHING. I bought the new ticker despite losing some money on the halted one... bought about 01 then it dipped to 005, so I was quick to sell for a modest gain when it started recovering. IT WENT TO 50 CENTS!!!!! This type of thing has happened too many times to mention...
Anyways, all you can do is pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and try again. That's why I keep referring to MSSV as my moonshot... I'm up very nicely already but have ZERO plans to sell any time soon. In fact I'll be riding a lot of shares into 2022 for tax purposes.
