Frank,
Woulda shoulda coulda, it's the stock traders equivalent of the Fisherman's "The Big One That Got Away". Certainly have had my share, VBG.
Funny thing is, just like the Fisherman, it's true. Sure we didn't ACTUALLY land the big one*, but the fact that he was nibbling on our line shows we were getting close, that is, if we had our finger on the mouse trigger at the time, ggg!
IMHO, it all amounts to perception. The ability to see through the market noise to the truth, the truth that sets your portfolio free! Much easier said than done, what is it about traders, about people, that makes us so blind to what is evident before us?? Yet, if we all saw the circumstances plainly all the time, there would be no market.
Perception is the thing to set before the Market King.
There are no regrets, there is only learning, for those who will not be discouraged.
*I don't consider anything less than RETIREMENT the BIG ONE!
Best Regards,
