Of course… everyone has those -To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

Of course… everyone has those stories…
I have a collection of those for a good decades worth… and they are still happening. Something we just don’t learn, do we? [Facepalm][Spurting]
Starting from dot com era of $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ is just another dot com farce… to $Microsoft(MSFT)$ can’t grow forever in the “older days”, which I eventually ended up buying 20 years after I thought about those.
In the modern days, there’s the $Strategy(MSTR)$ is just a silly bitcoin cheerleader, $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ is going to be delisted by the exchange for its fraudulent trading activity and finally, stay also at cryptocurrency, $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ is just another crypto pump and dump scam! How these fly with the blatantly corrupt Donald Trump!? These are just a couple of small examples that I have missed seemingly easy targets.
Like I said, I have missed them and I will continue to misjudge these stories.
The question I posed is if this is my illusion, or market’s? [Tongue]
