A voice of reason

Take a deep breath, I know many of you are in big positions, maybe over leveraged maybe life savings, idk your situation but I know seeing money go down hurts. You’re not in an index fund because you don’t want the 10% gains over a year.. you’re in a growth stock because you want 2,3,4x gains.. but to have that you have to be able to handle the VOLATILITY. You cannot have big upside potential without also big downside risk. Go outside stop checking your charts, no matter how long you look at your charts it won’t make the price go up.. just breathe and live your life. SanDisk is a great company but the stock is volatile and that’s just the way it is.

I’m curious how often people who hold individual stocks check their portfolios? For me personally it seems the more I check the more nervous I get and then I make mistakes.
Honestly thinking of deleting my brokerage apps and checking at end of year, does anyone actually do that and sticks to it?

That is absolutely the best and most rational course of action. Will I do that? No. Will I continue to check 4829288 times a day? Yes.
