Hey Guys,
I jumped in on yet another stock this morning that had just announced earnings: CERN. And there are two more stocks I'm in that should be announcing earnings within the next 24 hours (MGA and CDAY). Two scoops of volatility coming right up! Feel free to step off the ride for those ones if you don't want the added risk.
On top of that the market did not firmly rebound after yesterday's big drop. It seemed like it was starting to this morning, but things reversed course and we're back around where we ended up yesterday at the time I'm writing this.
I took a number of losses yesterday. If you followed me on any of those, this is a great opportunity to explore how you're feeling. Losses are normal. It's been a while since I've had a string of them like this, so this may seem foreign. But to generate the long term profitability that back tests suggest might be possible, it's going to require living through situations just like this (and actually much worse). It's a great time to check your mindset and remind yourself that this is a mandatory part of the journey if you're in it for the long haul.
