Ouch..... you win!!! You're right, you're not very bright.... but a father's love is never failing for his daughters.... Mine is in college at University of Kentucky in the Equine Science and Management program. I told her she can ride up there but she has to find a barn that she can trade work for riding. Took her about 10 days to find a barn or two she could trade with. She loves it. Good luck and hang in there.Originally posted by friscopaint View PostComment

Just had the convo recently. In 2017 I bought into etherum crypto and a couple other cryptos. Purchased the etherum within the first hour of releasing it when it was like 0.0000000000123 a share. Put 200 bucks in it and got 74000 something shares. Sat on it for a few months and it was climbing decently and made a small drop so I got scared and cashed out. Made 300 something in a few months. Buttttt today etherum is worth well over 2k a share which equates to I WOULD BE RETIRED money. 10 months after I sold it hit 1200 bucks a share which was over millions of dollars. If I had just waited I guess I’d be looking at life a little differentlyComment

I'm about to sell my Harley if anyone is interested. Was going to clean it all up this weekend. Bike is like new, less than 5,500 miles on it. It's a road glide limited with a 131 motor upgrade and extra rocksford speakers.Originally posted by Randy M View PostComment

Could have bought 59.7 acres next to me for $30,000 with minerals a little 25 years ago. My nephew bought it and is part of 16 oil wells and had 4 pipelines and a facility on it now.Comment

LOL I have plenty of stories like this. But if there was no way to know back then so it wasn't a "bad" decision. If you buy and hold you usually lose. But I feel ya.Originally posted by txoutdoorsman24 View Post
I day traded a few years and did thousands of trades a month. There are only a couple I count as me being stupid.
1. Had a chance to buy PUTS in a $120 stock that was stable. I hesitated to confirm everything and as I was hitting the buy button it was halted. It opened the next day and my $1,500 option trade would have been worth over $1.5 million at open and way over 2 mil shortly after. AND there's no way I could have sold early like often happens when day trading.
2. I held ELKO stock (a B2B company in late 90's) I always had 4 to 7k shares around $4. I swore up, down and sideways I'd never sell until it ran up like all the other B2B stocks were doing. After 6 months, which is an eternity for a day trader, I sold as I was leaving out of State (couldn't really trade on the road back then). Of course it shot up to $55 the day after I sold.
Regular life mistakes.
I had employee stock at Dell. Sold DELL stock in 1994 and it went on a 120,000% run from 1994 to 2000 LOL
I had the chance to buy 100 acres in Leander in 1996 for $100,000. Same street 4 years ago our Church sold around 5 acres for something like 300k per acre. This one stings because I knew it was a good buy but new wife wanted a house.
But - I also think all these misses were blessings. My life would be totally different if any of the gambles paid off in my early years.Comment
