To keep it 100, my confidence is getting rattled. I am getting cooked on my core buy-and-hold value positions. VIAB F SAFM A couple other unmentionable embarrassments. Its dark at the bottom that gets bottom-er. One hopes sunlight is ahead with my strategy- but if I'm as smart as I thought why didn't I know to own: GOOG AMZN NFLX AAPL Perhaps my conservative definition of value was my "temporary" downfall. Perhaps I did not prioritize top line growth due to my paranoia about serially high valuations. The thought that if I bought, the hedge funds would immediately sell off and go short. LOL!!! This is no fun right now. I am losing net worth daily. Usually a sign we are close to a swing on the value of value stocks. At least I don't own gold. Writing/purging this, I just saved another $120 on therapy and drugs. Thanks for reading.
