My big losers
My 2 bigest losses while investing in the stock market.
I hear a lot of people talk about their wins. 600%+ here. That dude who bought bitcoin when bitcoin wasn’t bitcoin. I love looking online to see people win, but I think it is also important to see people's losses. To know that they are human.
I believe losses can teach you a lot more than wins. With that being said, here are my 2 biggest losses and what I learned from them.
Here we go.
Aston Martin Lagonda Global
Why?
I was a teenager when I started investing in this company. I wasn’t big into cars. I wanted to diversify and decided on Aston Martin at the time, as I knew them as a more ‘top of the line’ car company.
It’s a reminder always to do your due diligence when picking stocks.
pros
It has reminded me that picking stocks has its challenges. It isn’t that this looks nice. There is a reason why going with an all-world ETF is better in the long term.
