Detailed Post-Mortems
2026-01-15: MU Miss
The Setup:
- HBM thesis was correct - memory bottleneck for NVDA
- Set mental alert at $300-350 entry zone
- Price dropped to $320 range
What I Did:
- Hesitated, waited for "better" entry
- Never bought
What Happened:
- MU bounced to $438 (+40%)
- Missed the entire move
Why I Was Wrong:
- Thesis was right, but I didn't follow my own entry zone
- Waiting for perfection when "good enough" was there
Corrective Action:
- When price hits entry zone AND thesis intact → BUY starter position
- Don't wait for perfection
- Set actual alerts, not mental notes
2026-02-05: BE Stop-Loss Hit
The Setup:
- Bought BE at $164.96 on 02/03 (data center power thesis)
- Set stop-loss at $140 (-15%)
What Happened:
- BE dropped to $136.60, breaking through $140 stop
- -17.2% drawdown in just 2 days
Action Required:
- Execute sell if not already done
- Review: was the power thesis wrong, or just bad timing in a broader selloff?
- Note: insider selling -$323.6M at BE per 02/05 scan
