My position is close to 5x returns, and theoretically I should be popping champagne to celebrate. But here's the thing—I can't seem to get excited about it at all.
After taking a closer look, I realize what I'm holding is basically just a lottery ticket position—small investment, tiny allocation. Even with these gains, it doesn't really change anything. If I'd known it would turn out this way, why didn't I have the guts to build a substantial position from the start? This is a textbook case of greed—wanting to swallow an elephant while being a snake.
Sometimes, the hardest part about investing isn't getting the direction right—it's having the courage to actually put real capital at risk. That feeling of watching your returns multiply while being powerless to do anything about it is somehow worse than taking losses.
