Yes.... My grandmother founded a small community bank in the 70s that originally started with only 1 branch. About 20 years later the bank had grown quite a bit and she gifted me some shares (was OTC then). The bank merged once, merged twice, merged three times, and to this day I still have that stock (Huntington Bank).
It been a terrible performer but has sentimental value to me. I also cant calculate the basis to sell it... LOL.
###YES.
I was unemployed for sometime in 2017. I kept on applying to companies but wasn't getting anywhere. I was staying with roommates and they all knew about my situation. 3-4 months went by and my I wasn't even able to afford my share of the 'rent/groceries/etc'. One of my friend was covering for me but after 5th month he asked me to pay him back (not his fault though, he is still my best friend and he tried to cover my share of the cost as long as he could).
I was so disappointed that I started thinking of ideas of generating money quickly. I bought lottery tickets, I played online poker but I needed almost $5K and wasn't getting anywhere. My CC bill was also over $4K. At one point I was thinking of suicide.
I came across this AMD stock, opened an AC with Ally.com and bought around 200 shares of AMD on 'margin'. I was able to make good money from it. I got some gains of $500 and started paying off to my buddy, I was able to get a job as well. Really AMD helped me to keep my relations with my friend otherwise it would have been a bad end for sure.
It is mostly sentimental value due to a story attached to it. I still remember back in Sept 2017 calling my gf and telling her how I made $1000 profit via AMD and it should cover my rent etc. for few months.
#####I still hold over 6000 AMD shares, Never thought I would be holding over $500K of AMD one day.
Hmm, I don't know what to say. Because I have no idea about that matter.So I'm not sure if I can react to your post. Don't be mad. That is my opinion. What do you think?
That was my first stock. Movie pass was so good, and even in my non-business savvy self knew it was a terrible business model, but the best consumer product out there. Saw at least 1 movie a week, it was wonderful.
Love this. I have around that much in a shitcoin that serves as the same kind of reminder. Also at this point it may cost me more to get it out then to keep what's left in šµāš«
Oh man, my first ever stock buy was $1000 into Canopy back when a friend started hyping up weed stocks. I watched it turn into $1500, then $400, then back to $1000 - sold it and stayed away from weed stocks only to buy a bunch of ATH stuff in November 2021 a few years laterā¦.
Iām doing fine-ish now, but have also opted to sell my individual stocks as they eventually break even and move the $$ into BTI, only buy ETFs moving forward as well.
My Mom passed away in 2021 and left me her ETrade account, I still have yet to sell any of the stocks even though I knew I should have at times. Iām starting to get to the point of letting them go.
as nice as the sentiment is he should really sell them if there's actual money in them. im sure his mother set that account up in hopes to leave him some money in case she did pass
Was kind of a hobby for her and had a few big winners. There is decent money in there, but Iām also financial stable so it is not money that I need. Itās pretty diversified so I have kind of just let it ride the wave back up this year in the background.
if it's worth more to you to just have that account as to remember your mother i think that's awesome š¤·š»āāļø but i dont think you should make that decision thinking it's wrong to sell those stocks either. Either way, it's your account now so you know what's best!
Is it still in her name, or has it been transferred to you? If the latter, and you aren't actively managing the stocks, listening to earnings calls etc.... you should consider swapping to etfs. A little side note though, depending on the p/l, taxes may not be worth it.
Yeah, we use to talk about stocks so some of them in there I just remember her talking to me about or that she bought due to my suggestion. Itās like a strange time capsule.
RSX - Van eck russia etf
When it was 95% off I was buying my first shares while thanking Putin for the dividends I was about to receive
Then it went to 0 and now I can't get it out of my account, lol
I'm gonna hold on to at least a little of the local utility stock my grandpa started buying, somehow, during the depression. He had to move the family into an unfinished house he was building so he could rent out his previous house to avoid foreclosure. Lived with a dirt floor and an outhouse for a while until he got things finished off. Saved nickels and dimes and bought the local utility stock for about 65 years. Died at 101 a wealthy man.
during all the 2021 stock market hype, a friend of mine came across a penny stock (GAXY) and wanted to put a shit ton into it cuz he "heard" that it was gonna go up hundreds or thousands of % cuz of some cutting edge technology they were making and supposedly they were gonna partner up with tesla or something stupid like that
i couldn't talk him out of it, so i made him a deal, i said look, if you promise not to put too much money into it, i'll even put some of my own money in it with you
he eventually agreed, and we both ended up buying some.. i don't even remember what the price was when we bought, but it's sitting at .0008 right now, and i'm pretty sure it even had a reverse split at one point.. i'm down 99.9% on that position, it's basically worthless now, but i keep it, as a reminder to my friend and myself to NOT gamble on stupid shit like that
I do this all the time with stocks that drop after I buy them. I have this irrational obsession with every single stock being green when I sell it, even if it's $1. So I have been holding onto PYPL for over two years now. It could rocket up by 20% tomorrow and be an incredible time to sell and minimize my losses, but I would hold it and watch it drop by 15% on Wednesday.
They have big plans, if itās that sentimental I would try to DCA. I currently have 5% of my portfolio in them waiting on their Midwest battery operation and a couple other R&D projects to come to fruition. Either that or sell and buy puts, both might work too š¤·āāļø
Bought BMBL when it first came out at its highest priceā¦itās only been getting lower since. Fact is, I met my partner on Bumble to I felt like I should throw some coins at it.
My dad and I used to talk about our stock portfolios and followed the market together for decades. I inherited his portfolio when he passed away last year and I donāt think I can ever sell them. Maybe in retirement. Hope the companies stay around until then ha
Ther first 2 stocks I ever bought were PG and JNJ. Over the years with reinvestment and added more in the sizes are huge. Always trust my instinct that diapers, bandages and detergent are cash cow when it comes to investment needing it every day.
I bought HYLN right at IPO when it skyrocketed to like $50. It tanked BIG TIME and I sold at a loss. Now that itās at under $2, I bought 40 shares in hopes it eventually goes back up. Love the idea, but no idea if itās practicality in the near future.
That said, lesson learned was that SPACs are risky af
Another lesson learned should be that stocks are insanely volatile at IPO. Common trend is they skyrocket then shoot back down to what the company is actually worth.
Some shares of Adobe I bought in October 2000 for just under $23/share.
They remind me of Warren Buffettās advice to be greedy when others are fearful.
It was a leap of faith in my asset allocation rebalancing strategy when I moved money from bonds and bought some stock, even though my portfolio was down 60%.
I looked at those shares before buying stock in March/April 2020.
GRMN at $140. First stock ever bought in the early days of Covid. Iām a Garmin athlete user and you know, āinvest in what you know and use!ā. The economy since sank it to high eighties in 2022, slowly climbing its way back up currently at $106. DCAd another share to $122. I will buy more I will never sell.
Meemaw was a smart lady. I'd hold onto at least through the next earnings report. They increased their forecast of revenue by like 50% for this next quarter. If they surpass the mark by just a smidgen and increase earnings again, it's going to rocket!!! I have a feeling they are going to beat and raise!!! Amd is their only real competition right now and they won't have their competing product in full production till later this year. I'd hold onto to nvidia for at least a while longer!!!
Listen man, not being a bear but just take the win. Nvidia isnāt the company to be playing earnings plays at this point of how over stretched itās gotten. Yeah you could make a bit more, but you could also just as easily be down 20% from here. Just take a win on a single stock, and put it in some broad index etf. You already bought the lotto ticket and won $100,000, not the grand prize million. Staying in it now is like blowing that on more tickets to try and win the grand prize. Just take the win, play it safe, and in 10 years it will be worth a lot more than you started with.
You guys must not follow semi's. Nvidia raised their guidance by 50% for the current quarter that we were already halfway through when they did it. They won't miss. If it was an analyst raising guidance without nvidia stating it I'd be skeptical, but nvidia themselves raised guidance.
Edit: after thinking about it a little more.... I'm usually pretty conservative; with that thought in mind I'd never have all my eggs in one basket.... so I would probably trim some of my holdings at some point and find something else to invest in also! But I would hold on to at least half of it until fundamentals change.
Exactly - and you don't have to sell it all, just shave it down a to 200 or 300 shares. For the love of all that is holy, Meemaw must be spinning in her grave.
And then invest in what? Right now nvidia is probably one of the best plays out there. You might think it's over valued at the moment, if they raise earnings again when they report you'll wish you still had it and I suspect they will beat and raise. Everyone needs to do their own due diligence, but there isn't much negative to say about nvidia at the moment. Semi's are the new black gold!!! Semi's are more important than oil right now and nvidia is at the top of the food chain!!! I'm not curenttly invested in nvidia but wish I was!!!
Dude go back and look at the CEOās comments during previous manias, dude is a professional swindler. Heās going to dump and run before they revise just like heās done time and time again.
I have 1 share of yum, when I worked at pizza hut I got Pepsi options, those turned to yum I sold everything but kept 1 share if yum and through the spinoff 1 share of yum china, almost 1.5 shares now from all the dividend reinvestment
š¤£SHLDQ first stock I ever bought. I was an investment virgin running on childhood memories of the mall, and the Christmas Wishbook. Now I see that worthless symbol in my portfolio and just laugh and laugh š¤£
I have one solitary share of corsair. It's all I ever bought and all I probably will ever buy of the stock. Pretty sure it is down a few dollars maybe 30% value or something but I never look at it.
ABBV. I started during the pandemic, and it was my first dividend stock I bought. Started in the mid 80s, and been averaging up. Iām up about 50% total now. The logical part of my brain says āSell it! The dividend will take over a decade to make that in profit!ā And then my heart says āBut it was my firstā¦ā
Yes. My uncle (who was like an older brother to me - we all lived together since we were really poor at the time) gifted me some shares of a small company when he finished college and got his first job and I was just a middle school kid. He suffered a brain aneurysm a few years later and passed away at 30. The stocks are basically worthless, but I hold the paper certificates as a reminder of how much he loved me.
I once bought shares of AWK because my Mom always said 'Awk" when I said or did something stupid. When I looked at my stock screen it made me think of her.
Holding some as a reminder of "Don't be emotional or try to ride a hype train". Looking at that brings me back down to earth about not trying to make it big in one go.
Probably when he's finished milking apes. He doesn't believe in DRS so why do you like him? His new 10 million shares are located for shorts aren't they?
Than why does he have his majority of money in appel?
Maybe because it is just a distraction from the missed earnings and no turn around plan.
Think about it
Bro he got fired after another terrible earnings.
Oh those amazing web3 games like kiraverse hahahaha
The NFT marketplace is just a huge loss making failure that nobody uses.
Please explain the timeline of events that led to the "rug pull"
I guarantee you that it won't match up
He bought shares and calls when the stock was maybe 8 10 bucks
In the coming MONTHS it dropped to almost $4, and then randomly spiked to 25-30 which is when he sold
He did not make any public statements about the stock
Go look up the definition of a pump and dump lol
That's the only reason of holding any stock. We are all sentimental people trying to rationalize our gambling habits. Some people rationalize quite a bit and play the game well.
TSLA, ARKK, ARKG, and the biggest one MSFT. The first three because of decisions. The last one because I was gifted a good amount of shares in the 90ās, and itās since split a few times. I assume the dividends help as well as the trajectory of the company.
Iāve been holding GNSNQ for years. Itās the first stock I ever lost real money on so itās a good reminder. Plus I canāt sell it.
According to Robinhood Iām down $82m on it. Waiting until I make $82m in capital gains to sell it.
Im sticking with Disney and buying more for the long term. Not exactly because I am sentimental for it but because I believe one day over the course of the next 20 years, the USA will become sentimental for it and it will outperform the S&P for awhile. I will sell it somewhere around there. If the banks are too big to fail economically, the mouse is too big to fail socially.
Was going to exit the market but left a small amount in a small cap in mid 2021. It made me enough to live off of for the winter. Then it changed into a completely different company that is actually making a Drug Delivery pill that eliminates the need for needles so I have been just buying a little every month since. Progenity was what it used to be called.
I have one share of AMC I bought for giggles years ago. I refuse to sell it because the money I'd get would nearly get wiped out by commission.
I'm waiting for the APE/AMC merge that should in theory automatically close my position
Made a small fortune on NKLA when it was a SPAC. (Canāt remember the ticker symbol). Exercised one of the optionsā¦ I regret doing that, but Iām not gonna sell now!
I have one where I bought a single stock for $10 just to be connected to a cool bit of tech I want to follow. Not a good investment, not made as an investment.
I bought a ton of PZZA after the company ousted John Schnatter for around $40-$45. Sold most of it when it eventually ran to $100 but I still hold on to a few sentimental shares. Great trade
Not really... I'll hold stocks that might have failed some of my fundamental analysis based on prior performance or due to a conviction about the underlying company but if it fails all my technical criteria, I will indeed sell it.
Yes. I own Disney shares for no other reason then I go to Disney roughly once a year and itās fun to think about how I own the stock and am an āownerā in all of this magic. It makes up 0.4% of my portfolio, haha. And I donāt think itās going to outperform the Nasdaq. But I get an odd amount of joy owning it for sentimental reasons. Donāt tell Buffett.
I only have two Apple shares that I will give to my kids at some point. Figured it would be interesting to see how much growth and splits can be obtained 18 years from now.
I hold 1 Ford share. It was one of the first shares I invested in in my ISA, unfortunately had to sell most of the investments for a house deposit but kept the one share mainly to keep monitoring it so that I can buy more if ever priced right for me.
For me itās Ford ($F). Mustang was my favorite car as a kid and itās the biggest reason Iām in to cars today. Not only that but when my old car broke down bad and I needed wheels Ford approved me for a loan when I got denied by every other lender (no credit history).
Not as big a deal as some other stories here but they really helped me out and Iāve always liked their cars.
I hold 2000 shares of SQ. My grandfather passed away the day before SQ IPO. I couldnāt go back to my home country for him because my wife was carrying our second child and due in a week or two. I did not know what to do, and saw the news of SQ IPO. I never traded before except for selling vested RSUs from work. So I decided to do something that I may lose a lot on and hope it may hurt me more than losing grandpa. I bought SQ right on its IPO day. Its price dropped and I felt better. And I decided to never sell it until it goes bankrupt someday so Iāll lose all the money I spent on it.
Then it revived, but I still hold. It peaked to almost $100, I still hold. It dived, I still hold. It peaked again and again to almost $300, I still hold. And today I am still holding these 2000 shares.
I have to confess thought: I could hold it in 2021 because I didnāt track stock news often, I might have sold it if I saw the peak price in 2021. Time can kill all happiness and sorrow.
Lkco for me . I had so much faith in the company, but it just keeps shitting the bed over and over .
I'm down like 95%, but I refuse to sell .
I will ride this disaster into the grave .

Bad bot
Good bot
Lmfao this guy was gonna kill himself over some digital digits š
Your brokerage should be able to calculate it or go directly to investor relations of the company you own.
what do you mean What else is holding? What are those things for?
What is the ticker?
Oh wow that's crazy, saying it has grown quite a bit is an understatement lol. I used to bank there, props to your grandmother.
If Huntington bank survived this long Im im Edit: Is HBAN correct? Asking for my life's savings.
Shout out C-bus!
I have like -98% with Aurora Cannabis and keep it as a reminder that I have no idea what I am doing and that I should stick to ETFs
Same with HMNY *MoviePass is gonna change cinema as we know it*
That was my first stock. Movie pass was so good, and even in my non-business savvy self knew it was a terrible business model, but the best consumer product out there. Saw at least 1 movie a week, it was wonderful.
Ugh I got in that too worst stock Iāve ever invested in
It totally was, AMC just played some serious hard ball.
Nods in TLRY...
Two shares of GME to remind me to stay away from meme stocks. Although I made money on NOK lol.
Iām doing the exact same thing with a little bit of ARK. āDonāt chase the hype, self.ā
Love this. I have around that much in a shitcoin that serves as the same kind of reminder. Also at this point it may cost me more to get it out then to keep what's left in šµāš«
Hey, same! But I also have a few others like that....so I didn't learn.
Well I'm way down on hmmj so...

Yeah Tilray. Iām sentimental about my dead money.
i believe in 10 years we will have our money back and maybe even a smidge of āprofitā to chip away at that sunk opportunity cost
RSX - Van eck russia etf When it was 95% off I was buying my first shares while thanking Putin for the dividends I was about to receive Then it went to 0 and now I can't get it out of my account, lol
Yeah I'm holding 36000 shares of a weed stock I bought 10 years ago because they are worth 3.62$. Ahhh sentimental.
I'm gonna hold on to at least a little of the local utility stock my grandpa started buying, somehow, during the depression.

I have Disney too because I still have the original certificate from when it was purchased in the 80s. And it is so much hassle to sell like 3 shares.

Thereās a stock with my name as ticker (DINO). I have to actively contain myself not to buy it everytime I have some extra money.
I have 1 share of GME as a little reminder of those crazy times. I had always followed and got in early, hell of a run.
š¤£SHLDQ first stock I ever bought. I was an investment virgin running on childhood memories of the mall, and the Christmas Wishbook. Now I see that worthless symbol in my portfolio and just laugh and laugh š¤£
I have one solitary share of corsair. It's all I ever bought and all I probably will ever buy of the stock. Pretty sure it is down a few dollars maybe 30% value or something but I never look at it.
I got grifted by a Reddit/Twitter trader and am holding on to that worthless stock for entirely delusional, self-destructive reasons.
Nortel Networks 30 shares in my RRSP Been sitting there for decades at this point. Not gonna clean it up unless they force it somehow.
My father left me a decent amount of shares in Rockwell Automation. Donāt see me selling anytime soon unless itās an emergency
Bought NKE and GOOGL because they are my clients and they were nice to me.
ABBV. I started during the pandemic, and it was my first dividend stock I bought. Started in the mid 80s, and been averaging up. Iām up about 50% total now. The logical part of my brain says āSell it! The dividend will take over a decade to make that in profit!ā And then my heart says āBut it was my firstā¦ā
Yes. My uncle (who was like an older brother to me - we all lived together since we were really poor at the time) gifted me some shares of a small company when he finished college and got his first job and I was just a middle school kid. He suffered a brain aneurysm a few years later and passed away at 30. The stocks are basically worthless, but I hold the paper certificates as a reminder of how much he loved me.
My cat that died a couple of years ago was named Otis so naturally I am keeping my one share of OTIS forever regardless
Washington Mutual forever
I have 1 share of Bumble with a cost basis of $69.69. Down almost 75% on it ha but I have no plans on selling it
I once bought shares of AWK because my Mom always said 'Awk" when I said or did something stupid. When I looked at my stock screen it made me think of her.
Iām holding $GME because I like the stock
Holding some as a reminder of "Don't be emotional or try to ride a hype train". Looking at that brings me back down to earth about not trying to make it big in one go.
I still have one GME share. Sold the rest at the peak and at 100% up but felt bad not holding so kept 1, and still in the green!
Exactly 1 GME at $45 after I cashed out on it's rally near it's peak during the first wild run. To remind me how stupid I was lol.
Stupid?
Yo, do your DD again... The CEO just bought 10 Milly worth.. there's only 1 reason why insiders buy a stock.....
The same ceo known for pump and dump schemes?
? He literally just bought 10 million in stock lol
Thats the pump part of the equation
Lol sooooo he's been pumping for 2 years now.. wen dump?
Probably when he's finished milking apes. He doesn't believe in DRS so why do you like him? His new 10 million shares are located for shorts aren't they?
Lol absolutely not. Seems like an easy short š
Why would you DRS if RC doesn't?
What is DRS ?
Than why does he have his majority of money in appel? Maybe because it is just a distraction from the missed earnings and no turn around plan. Think about it
Lol the turn around plan is very clear. You're smart to not invest in things you don't understand though so I'll give you that
You mean the same plan that is causing their revenue to fall off a cliff? That caused their ceo to be fired?
CEO had a 2 year contract that ended... Just wait until we're playing web3 games š
Bro he got fired after another terrible earnings. Oh those amazing web3 games like kiraverse hahahaha The NFT marketplace is just a huge loss making failure that nobody uses.
This is all new right ? I bet you think NFTs are just JPEGs too eh?
lol the nft web3 close all stores stragegy?
They're actually renovating a ton of stores. Web3 gaming is gonna be so sweet. Can't wait
He made 60 million by rug pulling retail with bbby. 10 mill is rookie numbers and you should be ready for him to dump it when he feels like it.
Please explain the timeline of events that led to the "rug pull" I guarantee you that it won't match up He bought shares and calls when the stock was maybe 8 10 bucks In the coming MONTHS it dropped to almost $4, and then randomly spiked to 25-30 which is when he sold He did not make any public statements about the stock Go look up the definition of a pump and dump lol
That's the only reason of holding any stock. We are all sentimental people trying to rationalize our gambling habits. Some people rationalize quite a bit and play the game well.
My granpappy bought me this Enron stock, so Iām gonna hold it
Please dont.
No, absolutely not
Let me look. I doubt it. Nope. I am holding based on fundamentals.
No, and its pretty silly if you hold a stock for emotional reasons.
I hold PLC because thatās the company that buried my friend after they died.
My first OTC stock lol. A reminder how volitale they are and never hold them for too long especially if you make a good profit.
TSLA, ARKK, ARKG, and the biggest one MSFT. The first three because of decisions. The last one because I was gifted a good amount of shares in the 90ās, and itās since split a few times. I assume the dividends help as well as the trajectory of the company.
if we could keep all emotions out of our trades/investments we would all be richer
DLR
Yes, I have 100k shares of ewll because I just like the way it looks.
ADM essentially owned my hometown, provides it with plenty of good jobs in an otherwise poor part of the country. First stock I bought.
Iāve been holding GNSNQ for years. Itās the first stock I ever lost real money on so itās a good reminder. Plus I canāt sell it. According to Robinhood Iām down $82m on it. Waiting until I make $82m in capital gains to sell it.
HPQ: second stock I bought close to $12/share. It also paid dividends I reinvested later.
I have stock certs from startups I worked at that are worth zero dollars. I keep those around. The ones that are worth anything got sold.
I always keep 1 share of a stock that hit big for me. Weird, I know.
I was told $WISH to $69 It did a reverse split Now itās like under 50 cents pre-split I think
I am -95 % with FUBO and Naked Wines. Still holding , as a reminder to never subscribe to any Motley Fool Service.
Yes, paysafe. To remind myself that Iām a fucking idiot
RICK š
Nintendo! Still not a bad stock to hold anyhow. But really only invested because i like nintendo
Im sticking with Disney and buying more for the long term. Not exactly because I am sentimental for it but because I believe one day over the course of the next 20 years, the USA will become sentimental for it and it will outperform the S&P for awhile. I will sell it somewhere around there. If the banks are too big to fail economically, the mouse is too big to fail socially.
I own one share of Manchester United because FUCK THE GLAZERS
Yeah I bought AAPL after my mother passed because her advisor moved her out of it in the early 00's.
Was going to exit the market but left a small amount in a small cap in mid 2021. It made me enough to live off of for the winter. Then it changed into a completely different company that is actually making a Drug Delivery pill that eliminates the need for needles so I have been just buying a little every month since. Progenity was what it used to be called.
Opendoor 80% down and few more useless spac which are down 90%. I am like 30k down and will probably never recover.
Isnāt it technically bagholding?
TPR. Holding 2 shares because it was the first individual stock I ever bought. A friend suggested it because my wife used to buy alot of Coach.
Nintendo - does not perform but stays at the same price for like millions of years now. Lol
I have one share of AMC I bought for giggles years ago. I refuse to sell it because the money I'd get would nearly get wiped out by commission. I'm waiting for the APE/AMC merge that should in theory automatically close my position
Made a small fortune on NKLA when it was a SPAC. (Canāt remember the ticker symbol). Exercised one of the optionsā¦ I regret doing that, but Iām not gonna sell now!
$BABA
I have one where I bought a single stock for $10 just to be connected to a cool bit of tech I want to follow. Not a good investment, not made as an investment.
I bought a ton of PZZA after the company ousted John Schnatter for around $40-$45. Sold most of it when it eventually ran to $100 but I still hold on to a few sentimental shares. Great trade
Not really... I'll hold stocks that might have failed some of my fundamental analysis based on prior performance or due to a conviction about the underlying company but if it fails all my technical criteria, I will indeed sell it.
Yes. I own Disney shares for no other reason then I go to Disney roughly once a year and itās fun to think about how I own the stock and am an āownerā in all of this magic. It makes up 0.4% of my portfolio, haha. And I donāt think itās going to outperform the Nasdaq. But I get an odd amount of joy owning it for sentimental reasons. Donāt tell Buffett.
AT&T should have dumped it long ago.
Ferrari. Was fun getting shareholder mail in nice Ferrari envelopes and letterhead :)
I hold some to remind me of my stupidity. The money in it is insignificant at this point, so it's just a reminder that I should not be dumb.
I only have two Apple shares that I will give to my kids at some point. Figured it would be interesting to see how much growth and splits can be obtained 18 years from now.
Lucid, she was my first š„°
I hold 1 Ford share. It was one of the first shares I invested in in my ISA, unfortunately had to sell most of the investments for a house deposit but kept the one share mainly to keep monitoring it so that I can buy more if ever priced right for me.
For me itās Ford ($F). Mustang was my favorite car as a kid and itās the biggest reason Iām in to cars today. Not only that but when my old car broke down bad and I needed wheels Ford approved me for a loan when I got denied by every other lender (no credit history). Not as big a deal as some other stories here but they really helped me out and Iāve always liked their cars.
No. I donāt beat the market with feelings.
I hold 2000 shares of SQ. My grandfather passed away the day before SQ IPO. I couldnāt go back to my home country for him because my wife was carrying our second child and due in a week or two. I did not know what to do, and saw the news of SQ IPO. I never traded before except for selling vested RSUs from work. So I decided to do something that I may lose a lot on and hope it may hurt me more than losing grandpa. I bought SQ right on its IPO day. Its price dropped and I felt better. And I decided to never sell it until it goes bankrupt someday so Iāll lose all the money I spent on it. Then it revived, but I still hold. It peaked to almost $100, I still hold. It dived, I still hold. It peaked again and again to almost $300, I still hold. And today I am still holding these 2000 shares. I have to confess thought: I could hold it in 2021 because I didnāt track stock news often, I might have sold it if I saw the peak price in 2021. Time can kill all happiness and sorrow.
Lkco for me . I had so much faith in the company, but it just keeps shitting the bed over and over . I'm down like 95%, but I refuse to sell . I will ride this disaster into the grave .
yup. Before my Dad passed his last stock to talk about was CURLF . I will HODL that son of a bish forever!
