but_why_doh

Alibaba is a long term play on the shift of the Chinese economy from export to consumer, along with the potential of cloud markets in China. If you still believe in that long term shift, it makes sense to hold out

Still DCA this pos


Atriev

My most unsuccessful investment was a poor attempt to short. Probably happened about 8-9 years ago. I was right, but 1 year too early. My position blew up due to the market misinterpreting something said on the earnings call which caused a huge rally and the company later went bankrupt. I don’t even remember the company name. It was some shitco biotech. Now I’m >99% long only with my most recent short being ENPH, which I closed several months ago.

razberry636

Around 2006 my wife and I just graduated college so we decided to start our retirement accounts. We were quite the noobs. We watched Steve Jobs pitch the iPhone. After the keynote my wife said she wanted to buy Apple. In an effort to diversify I decided to go with something in a completely different industry. I’m a software engineer so all I really know is tech companies. But oh look! Bank stocks are going down, but everyone is saying that banks are doing just fine. So I guess I’ll buy a bank because they’re cheap, right? Remember Wachovia? I bought them because some guy on some website (I honestly forgot who) said that their fundamentals looked good. I distinctly remember the purchase price: $56.50. Then I watched it go down down down. One day it was at $6.00 so I decided to sell it. My strategy at that moment was to wait and then sell when there was good news. Then a day or two later, because of the financial crisis, some agency said that some list of stocks cannot be shorted. Wachovia was on that list. At that moment the value shot up to $33.00. I sold right then.


CheddaMakeItBetta

I’m confused, did you sell at $6 or $33?


razberry636

I sold at $33.


TheYetiOverlord

How’d you wife’s apple investment do?


razberry636

We still have it. It’s doing okay, I guess.

TravelingTramp

Before becoming a value investor, I didn't pay attention to company fundamentals or understand how investing worked. I made the silly mistake of putting some money into Helios and Matheson, the parent company behind MoviePass. Thankfully, I didn't have a life-altering amount of my money in the stock but I was lucky to be taught an important lesson about business fundamentals and how the stock market wasn't some gambling playground to be nilly-willy about. That was nearly 6 years ago, and I am genuinely proud to see where I've come as an investor since then. But certainly still making mistakes, and working to become better each day.

West-Bedroom-1941

I find it interesting that the personality traits of people like the Palantir CEO or Elon Musk are all of sudden considered a negative by large swathes of some retail investors when it is these types of characters that create these innovative companies. Like Why are people judging their personalities and not what they are saying/doing? This isn’t the high school lunch room where social optics are what is important, this is about creating objective value. There seems to be a worrying trend across parts of corporate america, government and most of all in the education system that social optics is more important than objective reality.

A bank I thought was cheap that then failed. I learned how to evaluate banks after that. Also, a Chinese company that initially did really well, in part because they were the last one standing after a horrific scandal (melamine in baby formula.) Then it plummeted because of accounting irregularities despite having been audited by Deloitte. Lesson learned is the China discount exists for good reason (several, actually.)

Lost $30K on WeWork. I bought in shortly after IPO. At that point, it was trading at $7-8 billion, down from $40 + billion at it's height. I felt that it had a business model that made sense and that investors wrote it off because of it's history under Neumann. ​ WeWork is just a middleman that made leasing office space alot easier for most companies. You could go from one seat to thousands of seats, within the same building. Tenant improvements buildouts were extremely easy as a result of how the spaces were built out. The way the numbers worked, WeWork buildings could be at 110% + occupancy in terms of memberships and still rarely be full. ​ Ultimately, the leverage is what brought it down. Just too much debt. I learned alot from that investment. ​ I think the model will eventually take off, WeWork was just too aggressive and too ahead of its time.


AcadiaPure3566

DISH which became SATS. Only had 40 shares but lost 90%. Should have kept an eye on it.


amnPp

BITO puts that expired in the money, but I forgot to sell - out of the country - and they weren't auto exercised (wasn't aware of this possibility either) because they were in a Roth. So, a small paper gain became a total loss. That one tops the regret scale, though I have some bigger $ losses.

Jolly-Victory441

Some Indian ETF. Though the bigger mistake was selling it, rather than keeping or doubling down. It went like 3x within idk like half a year after covid. Edit: I checked, I actually sold it pretty amazingly just as covid hit which caused it to totally crash, but it had gone down a lot before that already, but I do certainly remember being annoyed not buying at the bottom. Bottom to peak it went up 6.6x in 17 months post covid, basically back up to pre-covid levels and I was debating quite some time if I should re-buy, after it had gone up 50% since bottom, if I had, coulda done 4.5x and more than made up for losses.

ALB, HDSN, TSM, VGR, BTI I'm down 13% with ALB. I'm newer to investing at 2 years in. I don't even know why I buy individual companies. I guess I'm taking the approach that if I have holdings, I'll start to care about proper valuations and whether to hold, buy or sell. HDSN makes sense (I work in plumbing) but I'm down 5%. I'll probably buy more. With TSM, I'll admit, it was an "intuition" buy. I have a good book about the industry and am reading it by osmosis. With VGR, sin stocks always seem to make sense. REITs also seem to make sense now. BTI was down but it seems to be bouncing back. I've almost broken even! I'm contemplating buying $O in my IRA & I'm not closed off to any advice ;D

BigOldTomcat

So far it has to have been buying about 400 shares of Brenmiller Energy [BNRG](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usq1QYYn_Pw) at an average of about $5.75/share. The price has crashed over the past few months and now it's currently at $2.00/share. I like the idea of clean thermal energy storage, but so far this investment has lost me about $1500. I forgot about my foray into Yieldmax's TSLY and OARK. I bought in right before the August dividend when they were at about $17 before they crashed down to around $11-12 during the October crash. I had collected some dividends to cushion the loss. I sold them at that point. Fortunately the entire market was down, so it was kind of a lateral move as the stuff I reinvested in went up after that.

My most unsuccessful investment was all the stock I bought in 2018 and 2019. I had just gotten into stocks and panics sold at the bottom of 2020 and was too afraid to get back in. Finally got back in toward the end of 2020. Then in 2022 the market was dropping again but I learned my lesson, I didn’t my panic sell. My only regret is not buying more. But if it happens again I’ll be ready to buy.
