I've dealt with this before but not at 9x. It feels like such a fuck up to think I could have like 200k right now at my age. And you just never know what's going to happen. It's this blind disappointment that I can't do anything about other than buy and hold early.

Holding through earnings is just as scary as bagholding when you're in the red. Everyone is wondering whether or not to sell, just like you. It's impossible to know what to do. People who continued to hold with something like this just got plain lucky, quite frankly. At the time, with the information and judgement capability you had, you would've made the appropriate decision.

It really does seem after all of my experiences that the only people who are seen time and time again coming out on top are the ones that quietly bought when it was at its lowest or in the beginning and held through everything. Day trading and trying to time markets at all seems like a losers game, a total waste of time. We can't not make big sooner or later, right? No memes, I haven't seen anything else consistently work.

>simply hold

This is so fucking dead simple and effective, and yet so difficult for some people.

I sold my car in 2012 threw $3k into some random stocks. I only made like 4-5 transactions since. So far my roulette portfolio has outperformed most of the 'expert' analysts I've compared it to.

Basically I learned that even if you don't know shit about trading or investing, just buy and hold, and the gains will come to you.

Yeah, holding does. Because if you invested in something with value(which you should have) then you can just walk away and hope for the best. It's only because you think your investment doesn't have the potential for value that you're walking away now.
Yes, it's worth shit and it's not climbing. That's the point, you projected it would climb, but you can't tell when.
I think it's far better to hold something hold term for a good reason and lose whatever amount you put in due to time itself aging away your money rather than selling because you suddenly decided that whatever you invested in no longer has value.
