I’m watching the market bounce back after what seemed like an eternity of falling. It is too bad I sold the good stocks that I had, but I didn’t know it was going to come back like this. If I held them, right now I would have about $55k, but as it stands now I am down to a mere $4k. I got stung pretty badly this past year, but I guess everyone has a year where they made all of the wrong decisions and lost a chunk of money like me. It doesn’t make me feel better knowing the local contractor lost a bunch of his money too, I still feel bad losing my HVAC rep dads money that he gave me when he died. I can only sit on my stock and wait for it to come back up to the point I can sell it and be done with this horrible investing strategy of mine. I should have worked at the HVAC business and kept that money in the bank like momma told me to do. I can’t tell her I lost it or she will probably disown me. I’ll just keep doing furnace cleaning and selling my HEPA filters online so that I can get a buffer in the bank again like I should have right now. I guess life is about learning lessons, but this one is a bitter pill to swallow. My central heating system is on its way out and it would be great if I can buy a new HVAC system for my flat next year.
