Stock Talk · by Liam Wilson · 2026-09-28

sold META way too early and now I get to watch my caution from the sidelines

I bought when everyone was dunking on the metaverse spend, then sold after a decent bounce because I told myself I was being disciplined. Turns out I was just traumatized from 2022 and couldn't imagine sentiment fully flipping.

This is not a complaint about taking profit. It's a complaint about pretending a tiny gain was a process when really it was fear wearing glasses.

The hardest stocks to hold are the ones that embarrassed you first.

At least you had a plan. Mine was pure vibes and spite.

Oh there was plenty of vibes in mine too, just with better vocabulary.

Market has a special talent for making the prudent version of you look like the least fun person alive.

This is why I scale out in tiny pieces. Lets me be half wrong instead of fully dramatic.

I did the same with META and then chased it back way higher. Double clown makeup.
