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.

Sometimes experience makes you too rigid. Still learning…[Shy]
