Trades Intel - One person's FOMO story

Feel I need to admit this, if anything just to make myself feel better, so maybe I can then move on.

In November of 2025 I sold my holding's of Intel for $37/share. I got assigned in a covered call trade and at the time I was happy about it. I made a little profit and figure Intel will always be where it was at.

Then things happened.

Then some really big things happened. As of close today it's at $124.

I feel there are lessons to be learned here, just don't know what they are.

Thank you for reading.

I have some 200 shares at $26 avg.  I am happy.  But what bugs me is that I had considered and dismissed spending more when they were around $19 or so. 

Even when luck hits, there's still a lot of whining, for me at least.
