Enough with stop-losses—it’s really just like a breakup. The longer you drag it out, the more miserable you feel. You already know something is off, yet you keep thinking, “What if it turns around? What if it comes back?” In the end, the losses from the interest cost more than the principal, and your mindset collapses too. Lately, I’ve muted a few groups. At first, I still had an itch to keep opening them, afraid of missing something. But then I realized the world had gone quiet—instead, I could calm down and think clearly about what I actually want to do. For example, some public chain recently upgraded: in the group it was noisy like a vegetable market. Some people were shouting to run away right now, while others were digging in and refusing to let go. As for me, I exited a bit of my position in portions and left some behind to watch the show. Recognizing your loss early actually saves you some interest—and a bunch of brain cells.
