What's an example of a stock you regret selling too soon?
Veteran Trader Spotted $ELF in the $30s, Surging 294% — Now Targets $MGRX!
$ELF is my favorite stock. I am betting it will go up 25% AH on earnings tomorrow.
How do you cope with selling a stock right before it rallies another 50% or more?

Is adobe gonna fade to red tomorrow like ELF did last earnings?
I agree but my sister-in-law in a Manhattan model (she is 28) and gets free stuff. The comments this week just re-inforced to me to sit on the sidelines. I wish all longs - GOOD LUCK. The same ladies have steered me in and out of ULTA and ELF. They are loving Sephora right now, but I cannot figure out what brands are driving it.
I made fuckn bank earlier this year on ELF earnings. These high end bitches never stop spending.
ELF making dollar store divas beautiful and we can all appreciate that
Thanks for reminding me that 'ol Jimminy Crim Cram spoke positively about ELF a couple days ago.
The number of stocks which have doubled or tripled since April/May is amazing. Not just tech - FIVE, ELF, etc
Meet these girls on Bumble and then they judge you for investing in PLTR, KTOS and UNH — I’m gonna buy ELF and EL to placate these hoes
Yeah...don't buy ELF cosmetics stock for a while.
ELF had an 18% beat though?
I’m thinking puts on Home Depot, Target, Estée Lauder (because of how bad ELF did this earnings season) and TJ Max. Not sure what else Thoughts?
ELF will probably slide in their place
I figured ELF and RDDT was gonna fill the gap but damn..
Why tf is ELF shooting up?
Idk I learned my lesson on selling a loser… was down >20% on LEU for a few years. I just checked today I would have >3X my initial share cost if I had just held. So now I hold my losers and just don’t continue to invest in them, new capital goes in to my performers that I believe still have room to grow or are undervalued. So I held on to AMD, which has recovered. Held on to ELF beauty which is improving again. Boeing was a bargain I kept buying it on the low, reduced my share cost and now it’s doing amazingly.
ELF preparing for liftoff this morning
Oh you should have said that. Possible bangers imo -APLD@ $9/10 -QUBT -NVTS @ $6/$7 -ELF after holding/consolidating past $109 (200EMA) entries are half the work in ANY trade/investment. Hopefully August/September brings more opportunity for us all.
Impulsively splashed 13% of my portfolio on OKLO and ELF weekly calls for next week right before they jumped the last few minutes before the bell, planning to sell half at market open on Monday and let the other half ride… am I cooked or a genius
It works until it doesn’t. I’ve been burned both by buying CSPs and the pricing falling drastically before expiry and by CCs and the price shooting way up before expiry. After wheeling for a bit (NVDA, ELF, AMZN, BMNR, UNH, LULU, MSTR) I think I’m just sticking to mainly swing trading. I do still sell some CCs but much father out expiry. I’m rolling my MSTR CSP today. Also learning to close positions at the right time and not ride them to expiry….
ELF 120 strike expiration 9/5. Should cost you $100-$130 per call if price stays close tomorrow. Just got hit hard from earnings, which were good (increasing YOY revenue) but guidance was kept short due to tariffs. Very likely imo to bounce back in the next couple weeks.
Almost full ported ELF calls
Be fucking for real my ELF $102 puts are flat
Looks like I’m a long term ELF holder now. ELF - Exit Liquidity, Fool. At least I have until November for these calls to recover.
I had no idea earnings were today. I literally sold all my shares before the bell to buy ELF calls lmao
Holy shit ELF, glad I got out when it was positive
Be really comforting if ELF drills another 5% in pre market
got obliterated on my stocks: ELF, CLOV, NVO. Literally one piece of shit after the other
ELF and RDW looking mighty tasty I can’t front
Spy up on tariffs, ELF down on good news. Chaos reigns
Damn ELF getting fucking slaughtered
ELF drilling even with a good earnings call... I sold as it was going up but I'm surprised to see it go the other way and get this low
Why ELF pump if elf just dump after? Me no get it. Because me have calls?
ELF, please bleed another 10%
Thoughts my ELF puts were fuqqed
ELF guh. For a second I thought I actually won an options play. Welp. Looks like I’ll be eating ice water for a week.
ELF call holders will need some new clown makeup 😔
I am out of ELF, small profit but I can’t handle this movement and wide bid and ask, thanks for the tip whoever gave the shout out
wtf? ELF? Markets are absolutely rigged zero reason to believe in free markers.
Too scared to look at my ELF puts
Loaded to the tits with ELF calls
Bought ELF puts in a fit of rage. I hope they miss earnings
Anyone playing ELF? Seems like it’s due for a rebound but it keeps creeping down
Is ELF gonna continue to shit the bed?
What the deal with these ELF puts
Ah, ELF. Earnings were so good from last time.
ELF seems risky to me, I may go for a longer expiry too, just me
Anybody thinking ELF puts ?
me too! UNH, NOVO, ELF, all of them gone to shit
I bought $ELF instead and it solves that problem!
AMD, Nvidia, Google, IONQ, ELF Beauty, and quite a few others
ELF needs to +9% or imma lose my banbet and can't comment Grindr jokes anymore
AMD will keep going up. I also recommend looking into ELF
ELF needs to +10% in 2 days or imma lose my first banbet
ELF recovering nicely. Glad I averaged down
ELF ripping back up tomorrow. Absolutely covered in dip at this point
$ELF absolutely killed me today for no reason whatsoever
Averaging down on ELF. One of the only things really dipping right now. Can't bring myself to fomo into open
Hasbro calls and shares ELF shares Anything I have left over goes to Wendy's shares.
SOFi, AMD, ELF, ACHR, JOBH, PLTR. There's six for you. Too many investors get stuck in this expected 8 percent return average and restrict themselves to thinking 8-13 percent is their max return potential. You're limiting yourself. If you want very secure steady earnings then go for your VOO and SPY. Nothing wrong with that. Just saying you're average investor leaves alot of meat on the table with that strategy.
Note that nothing is perfect, but it often works well and often see a stock drop almost to my stop loss and then go back up. And even if you got stopped out it doesn't mean you can't enter again. I stopped out of $ELF at 119 last week when it dropped from 130, I re-entered yesterday when it went over the new resistance line at 109 and am up +8% in two trading days. My current stop loss is 110 (yesterday's low) to be sure that I don't have losses. I'm considering to move it up to 114 (last intraday dip) at the end of the day and then let it ride for one week and have a certain 4.8% in profits. I was up +100% when it hit 130 in a couple of months and give the stock a bit more room to move so you don't have to adjust things constantly.
My wife and daughter use alot of ELF beauty products. When you go to stores it seems like they always have low stock. I have made over $5k playing the stock throughout the last 3 years or so. Its not a huge holding for me.
Sold my ELF shares. Easy $500
I think ELF will have +1% to +2% days in a row
Why do you regret ELF? It’s been on a crazy run since the bottom and no where near ATH?
If ELF goes back up to 130 again I’m selling everything once and for all. Never touching that stock again. One of my biggest regrets. Second biggest is selling APH too early for a 9k loss when if I just held would have been up 15k 😂
I just wanna take a minute to say again that ELF is the biggest turd of a stock I’ve ever seen in my life and I fucking hate it
Thanks for the write up. I’m currently trying to manage a failed trade on ELF. I’d appreciate your input if you have time to respond. On July 7, I sold a Aug15 115 Put on ELF for $7.25. It almost immediately started moving against me. Today, July 14, I rolled it down and out to a Mar20 100 Put. Bought the Aug15 115 back for $13.75, Sold the Mar20 100 for $15.85. ($2.10 credit). I now need the Mar20 100 to drop to about $9.00 to break even on the trade. Seems like ELF still going down. Might see some support at $100. Or it could fill the gap and keep dropping. If support holds at $100, I’ll just wait it out and let theta do its job. But what if it keeps dropping? How would you handle it? Also, would you have rolled the original trade like I did? Or would you have handled it differently?
ELF is the gheyest fucking stock out there. James Charles of stocks
Nope, I bought a ton during the April dips and now am sitting up 25% on the shares I bought during that time. Some stocks like ELF i am up 100%+ since then
Chat GPT gives solid shit advice when it comes to stock picks. If you're wanting to look into some good long term holds that are going to go up check out ELF and AMD. ELF has had a recent dip and a decent buy opportunity currently.
This has been the hardest part about learning to invest for me. Everyone says all this stuff, but if you’re used to not having money, your instincts tell you to hold out…if you could only see my back and forth with Chat GPT doubting every single stupid VTI purchase I make…second guessing myself constantly, thinking maybe if I just read and study more, I could somehow find the secret and turn my dad’s thousands (he died this year, so this is my first time at the investment rodeo) into millions! Honestly, sometimes I feel like the more informed I am, the worse my returns have become. Not sure if that’s just me. From April until now, I have been obsessively buying and selling, yet I probably would have just been better off with a more passive approach…more of a slow simmer, crock pot type of treatment than I ultimately took. Instead of being calm and measured, I sold most of my dad’s holdings and started over. I have had some good days and some bad days just like everyone else, but I also have all this useless information keeping me up at night about semiconductors and tariffs and Jerome Powell that hasn’t helped me make even $0.10 more than I would have just letting it sit how it was. Just adding to the conversation as someone who can definitely relate to OP’s sentiment (but who is also trying to force myself not to let cash sitting in an inherited retirement account stay unproductive out of fear or anxiety over waiting for the right price dip). I almost think it would have been easier to invest back in the day where you had to subscribe to the trade journals and WSJ type things. There is so much information out there it’s just overwhelming. Add AI to the mix, and pretty much forget it! “Why yes, Sawyer, Of CoUrSe you should buy more (insert name of meme stock here). To the moon we go, Captain Buffett!” (For reference, my chat gpt knows I like beauty stuff so he keeps telling me to buy ULTA, PERF and ELF. If the market isn’t already a social experiment gone terribly wrong, it definitely will be soon! (But yes, I will keep buying my VTI and VXUS, bc I’m dutiful like that!)
I made nice gains in ELF but thinking about going into EL as well. Too late or still room to go?
