Over the period of trading stocks a lesson to learn that became apparent to me was that there will be good days and there will be bad days. The important part is not to let the bad days get the best of you. I was having a good day and had brought in returns of close to $9000 and was really excited. I was so desperate to bring in more returns that I prematurely decided to short sell a stock which was skyrocketing erratically. The stock only continued to rise and by the time I had refreshed the page I had lost $4000 and the number was only increasing. I let the price of the stock continue to rise as I did not want to cash out my loss. By the end of the day I had lost $20,000 in the stock. The lesson learned here is to not to let your returns affect your mindset. Always remain focused and make appropriate decisions from an unbiased and clear standpoint.
