You’re not alone, many people missed that move. The market always gives another opportunity though.

I hope so, anytime I look at the current trading price, I feel disappointed in myself for not investing in it when I wanted to do so. If I don't have that opportunity I move on to another.

@Ugobeauty, please don't be too hard on yourself! Many investors (including some of the pros) hesitated on Fidson because they were waiting for a clearer signal in the healthcare sector. I missed out on some early entries too because I was over-analyzing the 'intrinsic value' while the market sentiment was already moving. @igwe emmanuel is right—the market is like a bus station; if you miss one bus, another one (with different opportunities) is always coming. What matters is that we've learned how to spot the 'Fidson-like' signals for next time!

Exactly, just move on and look for the next opportunity.

Exactly. Missing one stock isn’t the end. there’s always another opportunity around the corner.
