Thought I'd share a personal lesson learned the hard way. A few years back, $ADBE gapped up huge on an earnings beat. I had been watching it, knew it was a quality company, but hadn't taken a position. The FOMO hit hard, and I jumped in right at the open, paying a premium. My logic was "it's strong, it'll keep going." What I ignored was the massive move it had already made pre-market and the potential for profit-taking. Sure enough, it consolidated for a bit, then drifted lower, and I ended up closing for a loss a few days later, right before it actually resumed its uptrend without me. The mistake wasn't the company; it was ignoring my own entry criteria and letting emotion dictate a chase after the move had already happened. Patience is truly a virtue in this game.
