I’ve definitely fallen for a few of these trading illusions—especially the classic “AMD is about to rebound!” line. I can’t count how many times I’ve convinced myself to hold just a little longer through each bounce, thinking a breakout was right around the corner. It’s humbling how often the market teaches us patience—or punishes hope without a plan.

Circle was another surprise. I was sure the rally would fade after the IPO hype, but it kept defying gravity. Watching it climb while sitting on the sidelines was a good reminder that narrative often trumps logic in the short term, especially when float is low and momentum is high.

One of my biggest misreads was Tesla. I used to think it was ridiculously overpriced, but I’ve learned the hard way that valuation doesn't always matter in the face of vision, hype, and Musk magic. The market truly runs on emotion as much as data. Still learning, still surviving—and hopefully catching fewer illusions next time!
