Betty Scott+Followthe stock i bragged about… and then lost money on Last spring, I bought a “hot stock” everyone on Reddit was hyping. I watched the price climb and imagined the profits paying for a family vacation. So I bragged. Told friends, even hinted to my wife we might finally replace the old car. Then it tanked. Fast. I sold in panic, locking in the loss. The worst part wasn’t the money—it was the embarrassment. But it forced me to face the truth: gambling isn’t investing. If you don’t understand what you’re buying, you’re not an investor, you’re just a hopeful speculator. Since then, I stopped chasing tips. I stick to simple index funds and automatic contributions. Boring? Yes. But my account balance is finally growing steadily, and I sleep a lot better at night. #finance #investing #makemoney00Share
