The position is about to yield nearly 5x returns, and theoretically I should celebrate with champagne. But what happened? I can't feel any happiness at all.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that what I was holding was actually a lottery position—small investment, small proportion. Even with such a rise, it doesn't change much. If I had known it would turn out like this, why didn't I dare to build a core position back then? This is a classic case of greed outweighing reason, leading to the snake swallowing the elephant.

Sometimes, the hardest part of investing isn't judging the right direction, but having the courage to bet. Watching the gains double but feeling powerless to do anything about it is even more painful than losing money.
