The Worst Good Feeling
On this momentous morning, which could either be one of the most important inflection points in market history or another Taco-driven bore-fest, I’d like to discuss an important phenomenon that I’ve experienced more than once in my life. It is best described in steps:
- I uncover a spectacular opportunity by way of my charts
- I write about it and position myself in that investment
- I am expecting it to “behave” perfectly, but it moves against me to a small degree
- I become disillusioned and frustrated that it is not doing what it “should” do
- I dump it at a loss out of exasperation
- It moves against for me a little while longer, making me feel good I’ve made the right choice
- It then proceeds to make precisely the kind of magnificent move I predicted the entire time
