On the way down! (sell on the way up)

I always ended up buying high and selling low. It didn’t matter what I bought (my picks, brokers picks, dart board,...) it would fall as soon as I bought. There for a while I kept detailed reports in a bit of brilliance to offer companies to not buy their stocks. LOL. I was that bad at it. I really think I caused 2 recessions. Just me.
