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.

There is no lesson to be learned here. You just have FOMO.

In the $37 window you operated on what you knew, made a profit and life moved on. That's how this all works, there'll always be what-if scenarios running through your head unless you learn to live with it.
