My buy and holds are in my Roth IRA.

My ‘mentor’ I guess you could call him for investing always said “it’s not buy low/sell high, it’s buy high and sell higher!” Get in, see a few points gain, get back out and look for the next one. I don’t have a crystal ball and I’ve made a few mistakes, but overall I’m more up than down.

I remember a few years ago when crypto was the “thing” and out of boredom I decided to give it a shot. Turned 5k into 8k, took the white meat out bought a nice new set of scuba gear. Let the 5k ride a bit made another ~2ishk around the peak, got out totally and took a kick ass dive trip. One of my best friends who never played in the market got into crypto near the beginning and made almost a six figure profit. He refused to sell and rode it all the way back down to earth. To this day I’ll still randomly call him “bitcoin” to see what combination of expletives he comes up with.
