Selling TSLA at 712 after buying it for 697 because I was convinced it was going to miss targets.

I sold NOW at 297 after buying it for 252 because I was nervous.

I sold FB at 192 after buying it at 154 again because I thought ad revenue was not going to go up.

Cost me a good amount of money in missed gains.

Oh well. I held onto MSFT, AMZN, and ADBE so there is that.

Hello. Anyone familiar with iBonds? I started investing a little in March of this year, and while I see the interest rate has changed from 7.12% to over 9%, I don't see my balance growing beyond what I have put in. From what I've read I thought the interest would hit monthly. Also I keep hearing that they are super safe because they're backed by the govt, but what are the actual risks? Any insight is greatly appreciated.
