The week of April 27th I made a really great gain and thinking I would ride the high, I jumped into 3 stocks (one of which being the same one I gained with earlier) on the Thursday of the week. But due to lack of due diligence on my part mixed with some emotional trading, instead of repeating my win, I ended up losing money.

 I spent an emotional 2 weeks trying to ride out the losses, holding onto the stocks thinking they would go up as oil prices started to rise, or maybe because the news was saying just hold on the economy is re opening.

Big mistake on my part.
