description: "$Paypal(PYPL.US)I have to admit, this was an extremely failed investment.There's no panic in the current mood, more confusion and frustration, not understanding the reason for the nearly 20% plunge (originally estimated at -5%~-10%), and even more puzzled by the sudden pre-market expectation hike to facilitate selling, which felt like deception.But winners are kings and losers are bandits; if an investment fails, you have to accept it. I don’t regret buying this stock in this operation, but I regret two things: first, my strategy at the end of 2025 was to stay in cash, but I wanted to try this stock; second, the additional buying violated my basic strategy, as the rise driven by OpenAI at that time emotionally influenced my buying.A stock that has lost expectations and trust will need more time and more changes to reverse, and I don’t want to give my trust and time to this company anymore.Of course, scenarios like a big player pulling a few strong bullish candles or a direct acquisition are beyond predictable considerations.In summary, liquidate."

- **基基复积极 · 2026-02-03T16:47:35.000Z**: The holding experience was too poor. At that time, the more I held, the less I understood. Looking back, I was just glad that I liquidated my position before this big drop and didn't pay attention to it afterwards.
  - **cactusnix** (2026-02-03T16:50:31.000Z): Yes, the experience was terrible. I was even profitable at first. Then it was a one-way trip down with no turning back, ending with a big loss.

- **ghfjdks · 2026-02-03T16:36:24.000Z**: There is no wishful thinking here, stop loss must be strictly enforced at any position.Look for other opportunities, keep it up.

  - **cactusnix** (2026-02-03T16:38:41.000Z): Hmm, just reflecting on two emotional points in the operation. Let's work hard together.
- **G•H · 2026-02-03T16:22:11.000Z**: How much capital is needed to push up pre-market? This stock will punish every long position holder.
  - **cactusnix** (2026-02-03T16:27:04.000Z): Yes, just a few hours before the earnings report, they suddenly raised expectations. Clearly, they already had the conclusion in hand, simply deceiving the market. In the end, when it was actually ann
- **keyigaile · 2026-02-03T15:59:55.000Z**: Understand your feelings, there are still many opportunities, take it easy!
  - **cactusnix** (2026-02-03T16:28:02.000Z): Hmm, thanks for the encouragement. Recording investment thoughts is also for better investment. Winning and losing are common in war.
