Sometimes the market just slaps you in the face.

On the 24th, I was thinking that $ARC could keep up with the pace of $PIPPIN, so I made an early move. What happened? A week has passed, and $ARC hasn't even shown a shadow of doubling, while $PIPPIN has directly soared by 600%.

Looking back at my actions back then, I really want to go back and give myself two slaps—obviously the market was rising, why didn’t I just chase the gains instead of waiting for some rebound opportunities?

The market never reasons with you; it hesitates when it should charge and stubbornly holds on when it shouldn’t wait. I’ve learned this lesson again at a cost.

ARC13.2%

Chasing the price leads to death, holding the position also leads to death, this game is really unplayable.

Momentum investing is always correct, I am just too greedy for cheap.

Chasing the price made me timid, and in the end, I still got slapped in the face. That's the difference. If I had known, I would have just followed the trend, why think so much? How much have you been trapped by ARC, bro? Does it hurt to lose? When PIPPIN was taking off, I really should have entered a position, but I insisted on waiting for the rebound. The market is always right, and we are always wrong.

This is why I hate buying the dip; chasing the price is the way to go. --- Wow, 600%, this gap is really incredible. --- Speculating in front of the market is all nonsense; just go for it. --- Another living lesson, chasing the price is really not wrong. --- ARC is still waiting there, PIPPIN has already flown to immortality. --- Hesitation leads to defeat; this is really not a joke. --- The cruelest thing in the market is to hit those who want to buy the dip.

Chasing the price and stubbornly holding on while the price falls, this combination of tactics is truly exceptional.

ngl the classic "wait for the dip" trap... $PIPPIN's 600% while you're bagholding $ARC is just consensus mechanisms punishing weak hands lmao
