Come see how many you've checked off!

On the road of trading U.S. stocks, no one stays clear-headed forever. We constantly swing between chasing highs and panicking lows, trapped in the cycle of “I saw this coming” and “I’ll just wait a bit longer.”

Here are 5 classic trading illusions, how many have you fallen for?

1. $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ is going to crash!

On the day Circle went public, its stock price doubled and kept hitting new highs for two weeks. Everyone said it was overvalued and bound to drop — yet it just kept climbing.

2. $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ is about to rebound!

“This time, for real!” — how many traders have held onto AMD through weekly lows, RSI divergences, or pre-earnings hype? And every bounce feels like a fleeting mirage.

3. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ is too expensive!

Tesla’s always been considered overvalued. Sales are down, yet the stock keeps rising. The market seems to ignore fundamentals — sometimes a new AI story from Musk is enough to send it up 10%. This week’s robotaxi pitch? Let’s see how far it takes us.

4. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is done for!

People keep talking about the AI bubble, but NVIDIA bounces back to $140 every single time. Just when you think it’s finally going to collapse, Jensen steps in and lifts it up again.

5. $Alphabet(GOOG)$ has bottomed out!

Google’s valuation is so low surely it has bottomed? AI monetization is finally here, so why isn't it rising? Just like AMD, everyone keeps calling the bottom, but it just won’t go up.

Have you fallen for any of these illusions?

Or do you have your own “misjudgment” story?

    $Oceanus(579.SI)$ is one stock that failed to convince investors despite the CEO’s hard selling of its good future prospect. It has dropped from $0.40 to $0.005. Its management has successfully drummed up FOMO for its stock in the past but its prolonged restructuring and failed promises have killed it. Thanks @Tiger_comments @Tiger_SG @TigerStars @icycrystal

    This hits too close to home!


    1. $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ is going to crash!


    I’ve been investing for 15+ years and thought I knew better. When $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ doubled on listing, I immediately thought “another overhyped IPO destined to crash.”


    Been burned by many IPOs that skyrocketed then plummeted. So I waited for the “inevitable” correction.


    Watched CRCL climb past $31, then $62 to $199, thinking “unsustainable.” The irony? I actually use Circle’s services and believed in their potential. But past disasters made me overly cautious.


    Finally bought at $248 thinking I was smart, only to watch it pull back. Classic case of fighting the last war instead of analysing the current situation.

    I guess I have fallen for circle. The way this works doesn’t seem to make much sense to me yet it keeps climbing.
