Your story reminds me of those old fisherman stories of “the one that got away.”

I don’t like lamenting about ’shoulda coulda’s’ and tend to just learn very quickly from a
mis – take and move on.

The greatest asset I have for trading other than a good education is an excellent trading strategy, and a confirmed exit strategy that I stick to. Plan your trade and trade your Plan.

I’m not sure I get this. I understand your example and it makes a lot of sense. But, I thought stocks go through certain cycles and there were ways to see which cycle it was currently in.

I don’t know anything about stocks so I’m probably wrong. But, so you use things to help you predict what the stock is going to do next rather than analyse its past performance to see what it’s going to do?
