Have you ever missed out on an epic party and regretted it? 🎉😢 Today, we're exploring something similar in the stock market - the case of missed gains!
💡 Missed gains = profits you could’ve made if you had made a different investment decision.
Missed gains can happen when you sell a stock that later skyrockets OR when you should have sold earlier. 🚀💔
For example, let’s say you bought Nvidia stock for $100 and it rose to $200, so you sold it. 💵
Later that week, though, it rose to $500! You missed out on the extra $300 profit. 😢
Fear and uncertainty can often lead to missed gains 😱
It's like being too nervous to ask your crush to dance, only to find out later they were hoping you would. 🕺💃
But missed gains aren't actual losses: they're potential profits you didn't earn. ☺️
You didn’t actually lose $300 on Nvidia, and you still made a profit 😎
You can wait to invest again, or focus on the long-term in the future!
You can even wait for the stock to dip, so you can get it on sale. 🤯
So, don’t feel bad when you “miss” some potential gains!
Instead, research and look for practical opportunities to reinvest at a better price. 💪
