I’ve been holding for a year now. When I first starting investing I got very lucky and bought into several hype companies early on and it was very exciting and the dopamine hit flew to my head, after that everything went tits up and I decided that I would only buy companies with certain precursors (e.g skin in the game, revenue, sound ceo, no ceo sell-offs etc). Investing changed from this exciting activity to a boring, logical regime. I realised in this game to make money you have to do thorough research, buy when no one else is buying and hold for very LONG periods of time. This is completely against human nature and especially against my impatient personality. So often when I post on here I may sound frustrated but really it is just my vent, I hope to see my strategy and efforts rewarded but I can honestly say why people say investing is harder than having a job. The other thing I can say is that there are a frighteningly few small caps of real sustainable potential and even smaller amount of them that are fairly valued. Investing is hard and investing is extremely boring!
