RKLB opened up 5% this morning on the news that it had been selected by Viasat to build a satellite bus. I felt genuinely overwhelmed — for a moment, I had that feeling of “I’ve got this game figured out.” Then I watched the stock start giving that move back, and it humbled me fast. I think that’s exactly what happens the moment you start believing you’ve mastered this — the market has a way of reminding you otherwise.

KTOS Realized 5% profit today at $66.09. KTOS moved after news that Trump imposed tariffs on drone exports, which pushed the stock higher. Regret: I didn’t close the full position. I took my usual partial profit, but looking back I probably should have taken more off, since the move was news-driven, not fundamentals-driven. AEHR My biggest FOMO regret. I closed out early even though I genuinely liked the stock and its fundamentals. It’s now up over 600% annually, trading at $140 today. Lesson — sometimes the stock you believe in the most is exactly the one you shouldn’t rush to exit. RKLB Bought a position earlier today, then got hesitant when I saw the stock fall. I still believe in the company and fundamentals, but seeing it dip made me second-guess myself for a moment. Noting the feeling here. Sticking with the position. Lesson for myself: despite selling AEHR early, I still made good profits. I need to remind myself of that — once I close a position, I should let it go and not track it afterward. Watching it keep running is what creates the FOMO in the first place. Not financial advice — just my own trade log.

RKLB Bought in today at $80.84. The stock’s been down about 40% over the last 3 months, but I’m buying the dip based on strong earnings and Bank of America reiterating its buy rating on the stock. Taking the view that the pullback is more sentiment-driven than fundamentals-driven here — will be tracking this one closely. Not financial advice — just my own trade log.

I'm starting this group for one reason: I want to improve my trading and investment decision and one of the best way to do that is to journal. This isn’t financial advice — just my personal journey and journal. Nothing here should be taken as a recommendation to buy or sell anything. DYOR. Why public? Because private journals get abandoned. The second nobody's watching, it's easy to skip a log entry, skip the review, skip the honesty. Committing to post here means I have to show up, even on the weeks that don't look good. Here's the truth — I'm not running this as a "guru" teaching a system I've already mastered. I'm building the system in real time, and I'm logging every trade — wins, losses, good decisions, dumb ones — right here. What you'll see from me: • Every trade, with the why behind it — not just entry/exit, but what I was actually thinking in that moment • The emotions driving the decision — fear, FOMO, confidence, revenge trading, boredom, whatever it really was • Honest reviews, including the losing weeks and the trades I regret No cherry-picking! What I'd love from you: If you're also trying to get more consistent, start your own journal too.You don't need to post it publicly, just track it. There's real power in the habit of writing it down, even before you're ready to share it. Drop a comment: what’s the #1 thing that’s broken your consistency so far? Let's get locked in.
