I know this is blasphemous but I wanted to confess my mistakes. Each time the market seems to be watching, ready to punish me. Here are my confessions:
I got into the ARK craze in mid-Jan 2021, put in a large position and then the fund peaked.
I got PSLDX, a 100% long term bond fund and 100% S&P 500 fund in Sept 2021, just before long term rates started rocketing up.
I got a margin loan to add a bit to my Boglehead position, not too much but it happened in Dec 2021, just as the market was about to take a big dive.
I added to my margin loan at the end of March 2024, when I look at the purchase price, I was just pennies per share away from the recent peak, and now we’ve been on a fairly steep drop down.
I know this is ridiculous, but does anyone feel like the market is watching and ready to get you when you do something bad?
