I finally bit the bullet on Doge a couple weeks ago and bought a few hundred bucks worth when it was already elevated but supposed to make the big surge just before 4/20. I bought some Bitcoin at the same time because I always hear good things about that. I immediately lost about $50 on Doge, and the supposed surge was a flop so I sold it a couple days later still at a loss. I thought about dumping what was left into Ethereum but went with more Bitcoin instead. Now Doge is nearly double what I sold it at, Ethereum has about doubled from where I almost bought it, and Bitcoin has hardly budged. So I'm doing freaking great....
Now granted, I didn't put in enough to hurt if it all disappears, nor enough to make me rich if it doubles or triples, but it's still frustrating to do an absolute shit job of investing. I did more than double my money on VTIQ/NKLA last year when it was taking off. Again still only a few hundred bucks, but that paid for most of a camping trip so that was cool. Dumped some back into Ford that's up about 55% since then. I'm still up quite a bit over the small amounts I've invested, but I could have gone 100 fold on my money if I'd invested in Doge when some friends said to and then left it alone till now. Oh well.
