What if that stock that I bought today gets bought out tomorrow, or over the weekend? What if Warren Buffett takes a stake, or better yet Carl Icahn?
What if I leverage my assets and nail the next move? What if I get that big client and what if I decide to sell my business and travel like Dubz for the next 10 years?
What if I pick the next NFLX, AMZN or GOOG and actually hold it instead of taking a quick profit? What if Seeking Alpha decides to write an article about one of my big positions? What if I get the right stock, but at the wrong time? When should I average down, or should I just sell it and move on?
What if I sell at the exact bottom?
What if I could time it right and sell at the exact top? Will I buy it back cheaper or move on?
What if I could double my gains and double my income? What would I do with the extra money?
What if the market tops? What if 2008 happens again? What should I short?
When is a good time to buy a winner? Why do I let valuation get in the way of buying a winner? Since when did it ever matter?
What if my winner misses earnings and I give back all of my gains? What if the FDA says no?
What if I buy calls on that stock I’ve been eyeing and they smash earnings? What will I buy after I take profits?
Should I spend more money on the house, another car, or use it for travel?
Why don’t I just reinvest it and make more?
Why am I so greedy?
These are just some of the questions I ask myself, every single day, when trading.
