/biz/ - Business & Finance

This is exactly why you only invest what you can afford to lose. If OP had just picked a sensible amount he could live with losing, he wouldn't have waited until the top to just pull the fucking trigger already on buying, and he wouldn't have watched his whole life flash before his eyes before panic-selling the dip.

It's not just about being "responsible". It's about understanding that there is a line where risk will trigger your lizard brain and make you act stupid.
