description: "Reasons for frequently missing out or selling too earlyWhy do we always miss out or sell too early? The Nasdaq had 12 consecutive gains last night. Recently, the most common questions I see are: "I missed out on [something], what should I do?" and "I sold [something] too early, so frustrating!"I think the biggest reason for these problems is that many people always want to buy at the absolute bottom and sell at the absolute peak. This is a classic mistake. Even Warren Buffett can't buy and sell with perfect precision every time.My approach is to buy as long as I think it's cheap enough and offers good value.Another reason is that many people don't have enough confidence in the products they hold. They might get shaken by the slightest disturbance, which is also wrong.I advise everyone to have confidence and conviction in a product before buying it. Don't panic. Panic often leads to poor decisions. That's why I always say not to panic and to stay steady during minor negative news.$Unitedhealth(UNH.US)$Microsoft(MSFT.US)$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)$Invesco QQQ Trust(QQQ.US)$Sandisk(SNDK.US)"

- **‭‭‭‭ · 2026-04-17T08:40:13.000Z**: The best move is no move! Set your own target price to buy and sell!
- **复利5号 · 2026-04-17T06:50:54.000Z**: The U.S. stock market has been a monkey market lately.😄
- **炒美股 养大A · 2026-04-17T05:25:56.000Z**: Missing out on a rally at least didn't lose money, and you can still earn interest from Yu'ebao. The most fatal thing is shorting.😂
- **缅A韭菜来美股发展 · 2026-04-17T04:42:58.000Z**: I don't understand, so should I liquidate and run now that it's 12 consecutive green days?

- **多看少动25 · 2026-04-17T02:38:40.000Z · 👍 1**: The stocks I pick and buy rarely go wrong in terms of missing out, but the problem is they always go on a rollercoaster ride, like AMD. First, it went from 160 to 260, then dropped back to 188, climbed back to 260, fell to 180 again due to unfavorable earnings expectations, and recently hit a new hi
  - **大涨耐心拿着不要盯盘** (2026-04-17T05:15:38.000Z): Too difficult.
  - **新见闻** (2026-04-17T07:24:56.000Z): Keep a base position, sell high and buy low. No one can eat the whole cake; just take your own slice, isn't that right?
  - **多看少动25** (2026-04-17T08:00:19.000Z): I caught the entire price increase, but to be honest, I didn't make much from day trading the volatility in between. However, holding this stock for a year has yielded very good returns.
- **仓位和定力 · 2026-04-17T02:27:00.000Z · 👍 2**: That's exactly me. I really missed the boat. Now I hope it drops so I can get in.
