Imposter Syndrome22 May 2024 10:06
As mentioned before (previous posts) I have traded for a very long time. My wife looks at me like I am some sort of 'guru' now when it comes to investing. I am not. I made a very quick decision based on some inheritance money i got, at the time i thought it was very rash, but those 20 years of experience , kind of told me, diversification is good, but you always have a 'runner' which you kind of regret 'not selling the house for'. That selling the house is literally what happened back in 2022, October where I was about to go to Oslo, i had some money transferred to me and the stress of having it just sitting there V not investing, made quite a impulsive decision to invest in RR. I remember it well, as soon as i clicked the right buttons on the screen, a massive actual headache hit me. I felt quite guilty about the fact that someone has left me some money and within hours, there was a possibility i could loose it very quickly. I do feel guilty sometimes about the ride up (to be fair not done much)..i do feel stressed about it as I don't want to ruin or loose my unmaterialised gains...but every now and again i do get a warm fuzzy feeling.
I have yet to sell any of these shares but when i do i do plan to buy a few 'nice' things. My dad who left me the inheritance, via my mums estate, still can't figure out why i drive a 1997 Toyota Corrolla!....he is 82 and about 2 weeks ago he said to me..why don't you take my car and use that instead of that rust bucket you drive around in..very sweet of him, but just made me think how he would handle if i did tell him what i did with the money...also my siblings would get wind of it no doubt and i am not ready for their politics either.
Anyhows, hats off to the people who are spending their gains...love it!..i just need to take a stop check very soon and enjoy it a little too...
As always GL all (especially tomorrow)..apologies for the 'off point' post...just felt kind of nice writing this post out. a little.
