It’s summer now, about half a year since I bought Apple, NVIDIA, and Tesla through 영웅문S 글로벌.
I still check my portfolio every morning — it’s the first thing I do after waking up.
At first, it was exciting to see everything going up.
By early June, NVIDIA had doubled, and news everywhere was talking about “AI mania.” It felt unreal watching my portfolio grow every week. But then, in mid-June, the price suddenly dropped for a few days — and I panicked.
I sold all 2,048 of my NVIDIA shares at around $34 per share.
At that moment, I thought I was being smart — “locking in profits.”
But two weeks later, NVIDIA bounced back to over $42.
Here’s what my portfolio would look like if I hadn’t sold:
| Company | Shares | Buy Price | Current Price
(Jul 2023) | Current Value | Profit/Loss |
| Apple (AAPL) | 281 | $142.28 | $192.46 | $54,053 | +$14,053 |
| NVIDIA (NVDA) | 2,048 | $19.52 | $42.00 | $85,986 | +$45,986 |
| Tesla (TSLA) | 115 | $173.22 | $261.77 | $30,104 | +$10,104 |
Total Potential Value: $170,143 → + $70,143 (+70.1%)
But in reality, because I sold NVIDIA early, my current portfolio looks like this:
| Company | Shares | Current Price | Current Value |
| Apple (AAPL) | 281 | $192.46 | $54,053 |
| Tesla (TSLA) | 115 | $261.77 | $30,104 |
| Cash (from NVIDIA sale) | — | — | $69,632 |
Total Actual Value: $153,789 → +$53,789 (+53.8%)
That’s still a big profit — but I can’t help thinking about what it could have been.
When I told Mom I sold everything, she didn’t get angry.
She just asked,
“Why did you sell?”
I said, “Because it dropped three days in a row, and I didn’t want to lose the gains.”
She smiled a little and said,
“So you didn’t sell because of the company. You sold because of fear.”
That hit me.
I didn’t sell because NVIDIA became weaker — I sold because I got scared watching the chart.
Now, every time I open 영웅문S 글로벌, I keep thinking, “If only I waited.”
I learned something today that’s not in any textbook:
Making money doesn’t mean I understand investing.
I think this was my first real mistake — not because I lost money, but because I lost confidence too quickly.
