I tried to time the market with 80k

Bought vti at 335 and then trump went to war. Figured the peace talks weren’t gonna work bc Iran was asking for compensation for all destroyed infrastructure. When it got back to 335 I pulled out without a loss expecting the market was gonna tank again.

That was this Monday. Now I’m sitting wondering when I get back in and it is eating at me.

I’ve learned a life lesson that’s for sure. I’ve certainly learned I’m not built for this and I’m absolutely a set it and forget it person.

Pray for my mental health lol
