Stock Market is frustrating!

Posted on October 18, 2007 by MelHaraguchi

Did you ever have regrets about doing something and you ended up not doing anything? I am constantly plagued with regrets whenever I enter a stock position. I guess it is true that you can never time the market. A stock that I have been watching for some time now in fact I had purchased a while ago but sold, finally made its move like I had predicted. Unfortunately I had sold my shares months ago! And it just so happened that it finally went up. I hate the stock market!!

    Yes, I have totally felt your pain here in this situation. I used to really be into the stock market and I understand the frustration of bad timing. Buying high and selling low sucks! I was invested in the sister company of Enron, when Enron went down so did its sister company and so did my profits. I haven’t played the market since then, but still have investments. I just don’t move them anymore. I hope that you can turn it around and make your money back.
    Best of luck, Dave

    Thanks! Ahh yes, I remember that stock all too well. I bought enron too, but when it was already embroiled in the scandal – I bought it at a dollar hoping that there would be a little bounce to it. I didn’t think that it could dip below a dollar but sure enough it did! It went all the way to a couple of cents! I hope you and your sister got out before then. Luckily I got out before it did – I broke even with that stock. Imagine that stock at its height was in the 70’s (or more) and at the end it was worth around .08?
