That is despite working in finance as part of day job. I notice I definitely have to fight emotional investing and in particular where that feeds into negativity bias. I always focus on the bad thing that happened in portfolio and not good. Hits me hard on missed opportunities too. Where I decide on stock but wait too long and then it rises so I go oh Im too late and keeps going up. Same with stocks I sold that then go on. Like seeing an ex do way better without you:) My biggest lesson has been to pick and stick. I find I look to get out too quick as stocks fall even though I bought it based on taking a long term view. That was my bad one recently where I pretty much bought Southwest before it went on big downward rally and then on the Monday it rocketed up and has been taunting me since. I left a small few shares so it shows me every day what I did wrong.

"JP Morgan last week advised investors not to “overstay their welcome” as the bounce will likely “peter out” in summer."

Reports tomorrow evening, would be very surprised if the user numbers aren't a disappointment (they haven't given an update since April, while Google, Facebook etc have released rival products). Might be a good day to take your profits.

I also have warrants at 11.50 so that might be a very good deal if they really take off.
