Long term is the only way to keep sane unless you have time to watch every single minute. The biggest angst I’ve had is the short term bets. I’ve made plenty on them so I haven’t minded but I’ve made far more on my long term buys and honestly would have done even better this year if I just stayed the course on my long term buys and just kept adding.
Also, don’t get frustrated over losses, especially in the long term stocks. Not a single one of my long term buys outside of ZM didn’t go lower in March or another time. APPN was one of my worst performers until the past few weeks and then it was a better performer than some of my stalwarts.
No idea how much you are dealing with but I would recommend adding some additional stocks if you want to go long term. Diversify a bit more. It can be a slow addition so you don’t have to sell off stuff you like, but it helps to have some stocks popping all the time. Might make you worry less about drops when they don’t kill your overall returns.
