I played one trend really well for nine months and it was gone. I kept trading, I put way too much money in a former stack that was a buy now pay later company. They completely missed their earnings projections and I lose half my portfolio in a day. That was the moment they really solidified or at least kicked off how I started thinking about this stuff. The higher you go before you fall, the worse it gets.
