Investing in IRA

A good buddy of mine knew I watched the market pretty close and he talked me into day trading in 2015. In 8-9 months I made 44,000.00 on a 50,000.00 investment. I made some stupid mistakes and left another 20,000.00 on the table. I lived on some of it till I was old enough to collect social security and paid cash for a 26 foot car trailer. I hit it again in February of this year and made 20,000.00 on 10,000.00 in four months. My hands are tied now because 2 of the 3 stocks I’m holding in my heart are ones that could possibly hit it big, real big. I’ve probably passed on 10,000.00 in the last two months because I’m afraid if I sell and try to rebuy I will miss the boat. Only time will tell but I like what I’m seeing and hearing.
