I was long MNST and CMG back around 2008 and sold both with 100% gains only to watch them go higher by another 1000%.
I hang my head in shame here. Bought Apple at $20 when the first iPod came out, sold at $30. Made a nice profit right?
Similarly, years ago my portfolio consisted of Netflix, Amazon, and Tesla (among a few others). But at the time the prices weren't moving, so I got impatient and sold them for a dividend producer.
I'm an idiot. Or was.
