These aren't recent bad calls, but still haunt me occasionally. Sold Sirus XM Holdings, SIRI at $2.50/share, purchased at $0.11/share. Kinda wish I would have held a little longer. Got into Ford, F about 5 years ago. Traded it several times to generate trading income and collected dividends, broke even or slightly positive after that holding period...glad to be rid of it. It was a speculative play. Really got burned on TEVA a few years back. Still own it (9.6 years) and trade it (just bought some again today). The plan is to trade it for income until stock recovers and keep a small position. Maybe they will reinstate the dividend as some point. Trading income produces 4.5% average annual return so I can live with that. But nothing like my AAPL or MSFT holdings. :-)
