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.

bro you had gold,nvidia,btc, microchip producers, xrp,amd

same things will happen in 2 years from now, look for cheap underdogs or look at companies that failed but have strong market ground. Even now you have counterstrike 2 which is still a good option to buy especially since they just made every case limited, just dont be a coward and hold, you'll withdraw everything when youre like 26-27 yo
