Believe me, I've had plenty of moments where I was upset with myself for not cashing. And after doing some self-reflection over the last several months (and a much needed break), I have come to the following conclusions:
1.) I was greedy and wanted to get rich quickly. It didn't start off this way but progressed as the stock kept climbing over several months (at first it was slow and steady). Then, the "instant rich syndrome" kicked in when we hit near the peak in July of 2022, and I allowed greed to dictate my decision making. I was so high on paper profits that I additionally neglected to consider any possibility or rumors of a pending appeal that would cause the stock to reverse course, plain and simple.
2.) Next to greed, was pride. The pride of wanting to see Calasse lose and the stock reverse course, following the July 8th massacre. The pride of not allowing the appeal to force me to sell out of fear and desperation and wanting to see this through until the end. Don't get me wrong - I still want to see him lose and believe he will, eventually. WNFT shareholders will emerge victorious, we have just taken a significant detour from the original plans of merger (which I believe is perfectly reasonable to assume could have happened, had Calasse not reared his ugly head).
3.) Finally, given that I had built up a social media channel that had been 'touting' GOFF/WNFT on my channel since approximately June of 2021, I felt a certain moral obligation not to 'dump' on my followers. Given that my thumbnails/titles often consisted of phrases such as "this could be the next 1000% runner"... you get the point. Actually, this is probably the most significant factor, as I remember telling the good ol' boys in the cord (like 2 days before the July 8th massacre), that if anything went wrong, I would be "riding the Titanic down to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean", and that I would "save the lifeboats for the women and children".
I have succeeded in doing the aforementioned, and there is nothing left to say, except that it takes as long as it takes.
