$Circle(CRCL.US)$Sharplink(SBET.US) are the two crypto-related stocks I currently hold.
Recently, because work hasn't been too busy, I often check community comments. Most friends holding crypto-related stocks have suffered heavy losses.
For these two stocks, I'm down -16% on one and -5% on the other. Long-time followers know my entry point for SBET. My losses are adjusted through position management. If I had gone all in like many friends did initially, I might have jumped off a building by now 😂😂😂. If I had traded options, they'd probably be wiped out.
During last year's tariff-induced stock market crash, I shared a lot. Whether it was Google, Tesla, or UnitedHealth, I believe I encouraged many friends to hold on. By now, everyone should be profitable—Google and Tesla have doubled, and UnitedHealth has gained significantly from its low of 240. Of course, I've made good money too.
In my view, stock investing is a game of rationality versus emotion. Many initial stock picks are rational decisions, but emotional mistakes happen along the way. Stocks are like EKGs—they need ups and downs to show life. If the trend is right, just wait patiently. Beyond healthy fundamentals, what we're really buying is future expectations. If you're confident in the trend, no matter the volatility, holding steady will yield good results.
When Google fell below 150 last year, I bought thousands of shares at most. Some friends feared further drops and held at a cost basis of 210—now they're up over 50%. Had they followed my strategy of reserving at least 10 opportunities to average down, their cost basis would be lower, and profits higher. But most people can't resist going all-in every time, which is problematic. Without room to adjust positions, forced adjustments can lead to panic.
Back to crypto stocks—why did we buy them? Has the future trend disappeared? Not really. This is just a cyclical adjustment. Bloody chips are what capital loves most. For these highly volatile stocks, avoid heavy positions—just buy some and hold. Use spare cash to lower your cost basis. If you're out of cash, wait another four years. The underlying assets won't vanish. Having some hope for your money is better than giving up!
