Had I just waited to buy my shares of KO until the end of the day, instead of the dip I predicted was the bottom on Friday could have saved a bit of money.
Well lesson learned. Looking forward to the future ones.
jd, don't fret. Reinvest those dividends if you want, add a few shares if it gets closer to $40 and below (if it even does in the near future) and in 10 years time you won't even notice.
No one can really time the market; I know I can't. Keep developing your valuation techniques and buy when you think it's at a fair price.
