You hold an asset for 5 months, strategizing every move, watching the charts obsessively. Then the moment you hit sell—boom. Two minutes later it's mooning. That instant regret is real. The market has a way of punishing your conviction the second you lose it. Classic timing trap. Ever notice how the best performers always seem to pump right after you've exited? It's not luck; it's psychology. You second-guess too early, exit at support, and watch from the sidelines as the rally unfolds without you. The lesson? Conviction matters more than perfect timing.
