[quote=Anonymous]I’m new to individual stock investing but I’ve done a lot of research and one thing I’ve learned is that you buy stocks in things you spend money on. Pre-Covid, I travelled a lot for work, our company uses Hertz. So when I saw Hertz stock drop down to .40. I was like that’s crazy, I know they’re going through bankruptcy, but when travel starts again the rental car market is going to go crazy. So I bought 1000 shares. Again, I’m new to this and they were going through bankruptcy so I was like $400, no big deal. Over the last few weeks the stock has really been climbing up, but honestly, I hadn’t been paying much attention. So imagine my surprise when I log into my fidelity account and see the stock has jumped to nearly $6! So all day I’ve been calculating how much I would have if I had purchased more. Same thing with AMC, I got it before the hype. In November, I happened to hear on wtop how low their stock dropped, and again, I’m an avid movie goer, and again I was like, when this pandemic breaks, people are going to dying to get out and go to the movies. So I bought 250 shares @ 2.31. But then over course HBOMAX got big and so did DisneyPlus, but I held on. Then when it got linked with the GME stock, I was estactic! So now it’s hovering around $10. But my problem is that I keep doing these calculations of what if? What if I had purchased this amount or that amount? Is it because this is new to me? Is it because I want to make the fast instead of playing the long game of investing? I come from a middle class background that did not talk about the stock market or any type of investing. And at 50 years old I’m just getting to place where I even have the funds to try my hand at this. I definitely don’t invest more than I can afford to lose, but this constant calculationing is driving me crazy. [/quote]
