I lost money on INTC, SNDK, and MU before mistiming my SQQQ short. My biggest performer was AMD. Net I broke even after being up a lot then down a lot.
Needless to say I learned some important lessons.
1. Sell at the top. Markets don't just go up forever in a line. Cash out when you maek it. If you miss some gains it's better than holding the bag for too long.
2. There isn't always a good move on the board at a given time. Sometimes doing nothing is your best choice. Cash is trash except when the sky is falling and you're not exactly sure about how to time your short. You can't expect to always make a big jump after big jump so don't do anything if it's not obvious.
3. Buy and hold only works when you get in on the ground floor. If you're early to the party you can watch it fluctuate after a big gain. If you show up late to the party, you gotta watch it like a hawk. If it looks dicey, pull out right away.
4. The power of compounding interest is real. Be fearful when you're at the top of the the market. It's okay to lower your risk and be defensive. If I had cashed out at the top and lowered my risk I would have more money today. Then I could have bought back in after a crash.
I'm gonna cum back to this list in the future to remind myself of these new rules for life.

It means that if you strive harder to never lose money, you have more money to make money on in the future. If you take less risk and your exposure is less, you have less potential to lose. It's a cautionary tale.
At worst I am the exact same investor as Tommy T. But I make the same boneheaded decisions with a fraction of the investor experience. I should be on my way to better decisions going forward!

I'm just like you. I'm trying to beat the system but can't. We're birds of a feather. The main difference between us is that I have lost less money than you on shorts. But only by a little bit. I appreciate you, you are my investing guru.

The only 2 rules pretty much anyone needs for the stock market are:
1. Buy as much VOO you can, as early and often as you can, in tax advantaged accounts as much as possible
2. Just hold for as long as you can. You can't time the market.
This eliminates stress about how the market is doing and will leave you better off than 90% of active traders. Of that 10% who do better, most just got lucky, no different than winning at roulette.
